Okay, here's a feminine perspective from someone who used to refer to
herself as a feminist, before the Hillary Rodham Clintons took over the
'movement'...
I find this site insulting. I find the whole concept insulting. The idea
that women (and altho it isn't spelled out, it seems marketed towards women)
are more interested in fashion items than political substance.
The idea that we will automatically vote for a candidate because she
presumably has ovaries, that we will vote for a one-name personality who is
marketing herself like a superstar icon, ala Cher, Tina, Liz,
Aretha....Evita?
We don't see any male candidates marketing themselves this way...and we
never see conservative female candidates doing so, either.
It is a pandering and condescension towards women that 'the women's
movement' has been fostering for the past 20 years, which is why I no longer
refer to myself as a 'feminist'...
