Because of the feminist perspective, we have gotten a view of the world that is distorted.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is a widespread assumption that simply because my generation of women has the good fortune to live in a world touched by the feminist movement, that means everything we do is magically imbued with its agenda, but it doesn't work that way.
The feminists who are aware of the effects of patriarchy realize that we are all in the same boat from the dangers of patriarchy, and that the oppression of women is universal.
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.
Feminism is an attack on social practices and habits of thought that keep women and men boxed into gender roles that are harmful.
Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women's issues.

It's self-deceptive to think we're in a post-feminist world when we never tried a feminist world.
I think of feminism as a socially just and imaginative world.
