Finished Tong's chapter on Liberal Feminism today. An initial thought for those seeking to discredit liberal feminism: why the hellbent defaming of Betty Friedan? She's one woman, entitled to her opinion, who wrote two books after her first, detailing her growth in thought. While her initial design may have been flawed regarding "the problem that has no name" because she failed to consider women of different class or social standing than white, middle-class, she spent time reconstructing her ideas and writing two more books about her intuitive growth. And that's an extreme example of human development, if you ask me.
This inter-factional feuding is just one more thing complicating the goal achievement sought by those with feminist intent. So, if I'm at liberty, may I just say, "stop, already"?
Annnnnd, here's an example of rampant internet sexism via Facebook:
