The
F Word
The word "feminist" still raises hackles. Is
claiming this word all about age, race, and class? |

| I
call myself a feminist. But I think people's reasons for
not wanting to call themselves feminists are totally valid.
I share their concerns, but my way of dealing with it
is by changing feminism to more accurately represent my
values. |
|
|
| There
must be a critical analysis of race and class and sexual
orientation and how they work together. But I'd rather
see my generation take on feminism than throw it out altogether.
Some gains made by the second wave benefited all women,
but there's truth to the criticism that 1960s and 1970s
feminism did not reflect the concerns of low-income women
or women of color. It's up to young women to make this
movement what we want it to be. |
