Historically, there have always been women who have supported feminism in its meaning of self sufficient , strong women, who have been alienated from the feminist leadership and its goals. Current feminist leadership is primarily bourgeois in its thinking, valuing the language of consumer choice above the language of human rights. The Women's Liberation Movement started with the language and philosophy of the civil rights movement- it was about obtaining the same RIGHTS for women ( the ERA) as for men. Today, feminism is about CHOICE, which has to do with who has the dollar.

Many women who are pro-woman are alienated from current feminist thought, for this very reason. It has become corrupted and lost its way.
