A Response to ‘Women Against Feminism.’
July 27, 2014 § 4 Comments
Wow – waking up this morning and seeing all the tweets and posts on social media in response to the group Women Against Feminism – which is too disturbing to me on so many levels to go into, I’m reblogging this response from iwantedwings – A Geeky Feminist’s Musings on Visual & POP Culture. I wonder who is behind the anti feminist campaign and the motive? What do you think?
Imagine this:
The year is 2014. You are a white Western woman. You wake up in the morning in a comfortably sized house or flat. You have a full or part-time job that enables you to pay your rent or mortgage.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I’m outraged by the ignorance and maliciousness here. The same my mother tells me she faced in the beginning of the movement in the 1970’s.
