I’ll have to come back and read that last one when I get home from school. But I did sit in a classroom on Tuesday and be told what’s wrong with feminism is that women aren’t doing enough and are expecting men to do more.
[See: When asked why women don’t all vote for women candidates, I asked why we don’t ask why men don’t vote for women candidates, and it all went downhill from there. Also, it’s ridiculous to talk about women not voting because of child care needs.)
