Is feminism over? The last time I recall hearing anything about it as a movement or cause was the He For She talk five or six years ago, with Emma Watson. Now it seems I only hear about it in the context of trans rights, specifically in an anti-trans context (TERFs, Trans-Exclusionist Radical Feminists), from trans activists rather than feminists.
- Same here. Seems that if you don't fully buy into men somehow magically transmogrifying into fully-fledged women, you're some how anti-feministNairn
- I totally get where Rowling and Greer et al are coming from - i don't see them as being exclusionist, just somewhat realist and peeved by another domainNairn
- being hijacked by men. Or, 'ex-men' at least.Nairn
- I followed the Rowling thing (read her essay) but it seemed to have less to do with feminism than trans activism.i_monk
- That's a tar baby issue, frankly. Anything short of complete deference is considered a hate crime, so there's no room to discuss anything.i_monk
- Ironically, Radcliffe and Redmayne got more coverage for denouncing Rowling that Watson did.i_monk
- no, it's everywhere. and quotas are a very real thing.inteliboy
- Zealots hijack and ruin everything and end empowering the people they're most opposed to.Fax_Benson
- If feminism is now just about staffing quotas, maybe it is over.i_monk
