Feminism has changed the way women think, and it has changed the way men think, but the trouble is, it hasn't changed the attitudes of babies at all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Historically, men have a hard time getting onboard with feminism, but I think that's changing.
The fact is, feminism is not what it used to be.
The idea of what a feminist is has changed so much that there needs to be a new word for it.
Has feminism made us all more conscious? I think it has. Feminist critiques of anthropological masculine bias have been quite important, and they have increased my sensitivity to that kind of issue.
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.
Earlier feminists were almost universally pro-choice and have dominated political debate until now. Having access to abortion was viewed as the only way women could have full equality with men, who, until recently, couldn't get pregnant.
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.
The most empowering feminist act is for women to be taught about the ways babies bond and then decide what they want to do.
Feminism is not just about women; it's about letting all people lead fuller lives.
The word feminism needs to be taken back. It needs to be reclaimed in a way that is inclusive of men.
