Nathan, feminism is definately not dead. There are still some laws/policies in society that may be unfavorable to women, and these are brought to the govts attention eg no health coverage for birth control pills, but coverage for Viagra or the failures of many hospitals to full comply with the law to use a ‘rape kit’ (which collects all necessary evidence of rape) etc. Nicole, would you consider bans on reproductive services for poor women in 3rd world countries, obscurring of campus rapes by some colleges in favoring of maintaining their reputation, or unaffordable, inaccessible birth control all ‘wrong problems’ ??? If you think ‘yelling at congress is unproductive’ then how do you think you got the right to work, vote, own property, run a business and be considered a human being with full rights as a US citizen!!?? Bill, I do agree that many females have babies way too quickly with men they don’t know well enough – but men also have sex way too quickly with women they don’t know well enough. I truly believe it is best to wait until you can afford children before having them, so you’re not struggling with 3 jobs and allowing your kids to hang out and get into trouble. Poor parenting has really nothing to do with feminism, and the alarming rate of men abandoning their kids is proof that both men and women can be terrible parents. Cynthia, feminists never said women should not stay home and be ‘taken care of’ they just want females to be able to chose between being taken care of, and taking care of themselves. Aren’t you happy that you have that choice?! And if you’re planning on not getting an education in favor of being taken care of your whole life, you’d better start spending some time on ‘looking pretty’ so that you’ll be able to get and keep a man.
