Entry: The sad state of American feminism: a great Mother's Day gift! Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/the_sad_state_of_american_feminism_a_great_mothers_day_gift#26090 Post contents: Femininsm, I thought, began generations ago with the Suffragettes. It wasn't invented by Bella Abzug and Betty Friedan. The Left highjacked the feminist movement at its moment of fruition to give itself gravitas. This story of unwarranted laurels is, or should be familiar by now. Wasn't it generations and generations of both black and white Americans who fought for the Civil Rights Movement, until the Left highjacked it in the 1960s to claim the victory for Marx at the finish line? Need we look at environmentalism, or Nature Conservation, as it was once called, another movement going back at least to Teddy Roosevelt? And who painted the environment in Leftist colors to claim it as their own invention? And more recently, how about political conservatism? Who highjacked and claimed it as their own? Any pattern here? Maybe we shold go back to the writings of the Suffragettes to get a clear picture undiluted by an alien Leftism to understand what these ladies always had in mind, and let the Bella Abzugs rot.
