The feminist spirit still lives! It shows most boldly among younger women from the millennial generation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Even now, after whatever gains feminism has made in involving fathers in the rearing of their children, I still think virtually all of us spend the most formative years of our lives very much in the presence of women.
Feminism in some ways has become quite dormant.
I think feminism is about the spirit.
Feminism is the best movement that's happened in the 21st century, and it benefits everyone.
I think for a long time it seemed like working in an art form and being a feminist meant portraying women in a perfect, angelic light. And there's nothing feminist about that.
Young feminists have been sold a bill of goods about American feminism. The enormous changes in women over the past 40 years are constantly and falsely attributed to the organized women's movement of the late 1960s and '70s.
Feminism is not just about women; it's about letting all people lead fuller lives.
My generation was not only maligned in book reviews and attacked in graduate school but we lived to see our adored and adorable daughters wonder why feminism had become a dirty word.
I think it was really entering my 30s that I began to embrace feminism and call myself a feminist.
Our mothers' generation fought so hard to change things and we're the first generation to benefit. And now you get girls in their twenties who say they're not feminists.
