In an age where we are all so ‘woke’
I thought it would nice from time to time to pay respects to the mid-twentieth century movement that made all this possible: Feminism.
The feminist movement chose an internationally recognized symbol
long associated with oppression
to express their ideology and objectives. The world largely ignored this obvious affiliation with a movement that was otherwise shunned by Western countries at the time, leaving feminism to continue its march towards “equality.”
How did the feminist movement do in the intervening half century? I leave you to decide for yourself, based on contemporaneous facts and reports from the field. For the first installment in what is sure to become a recurring feature I offer the following for consideration:
In the 70's feminists told women they could be anything they wanted to be. Eventually men demanded the same rights and what some of them wanted was to be women.

Another historic achievement for equality. Congratulations, you’ve come a long way, baby!
