I hate it when conservatives talk about suffragists as "traditional" and such...completely ignoring their progressive activism. You would have hated Stanton and Anthony just as much as you hate Steinem and NOW today!

Please, stop co-opting and whitewashing feminist history because y'all have a girlcrush on Palin. :(

Can you imagine the reaction if Gloria Steinem wrote her own version of the Bible? I'm pretty sure the word "traditional" doesn't mean anything anyway.

The Woman's Bible is pretty awesome!

Apparently, feminists are SO MEAN because we don't want to hold hands and sing kumbaya with "conservative feminists" while they take away our rights.

(here by way of your crackbroom recs)

...srsly, they're trying to co-opt suffragists now?

That is so BAD TOUCH and DO NOT WANT that I can't decide whether to gag or curl my lip at them in disdain. I don't think attempting both simultaneously is recommended by the Surgeon General.

Because early feminists were pro-life (in an era w/ no safe abortions) they must have been conservative! Or something. :(
