The Legacy of Radical Feminism

Alice Walker, best known as the author of the novel The Color Purple, is one of the most renowned feminist authors and activists of her generation. She is also a mother, and that fact brought her public and private lives into direct conflict.

--snip--

That is because Alice Walker’s brand of feminism was the kind that taught that “motherhood was about the worst thing that could happen to a woman.” So says her daughter, Rebecca, who suffered the consequences of that thinking. In a recent London Daily Mail article, Rebecca Walker reflected on the neglect she experienced with her divorced father across the country and her mother too busy for her, frequently leaving her alone for long periods as a teenager. With her mother’s knowledge—and even support—Rebecca became sexually active at 13 and had an abortion at 14. She was well aware that her mother thought of her as a burden.

In her own way, Rebecca—like many other daughters of the feminist revolution—is trying to put her own set of injustices right, not through selfishness and neglect, but by loving her child.

Click the link. She is one messed up femi-nazi. And no surprise that she messed up her daughter’s life as well.

Thanks for the link. I didn’t realize she was such a scumbag. I’ll check your keyword before I post any more stories of how her feminism claptrap has so ruined other people’s lives.

My heart goes out to Rebecca, but she sounds like a strong woman despite the abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother. I'm happy to see she has become a nurturing mother to her own son and didn't take her anger and resentment out on him, which is no doubt what Alice Walker did to Rebecca.

Alice Walker is a small minded, vindictive witch.
