As all advocates of feminist politics know most people do not understand sexism or if they do they think it is not a problem.

The feminists are trying to tell women that there is really no difference between them and men. Just as men can be promiscuous, women can, too, and go for one night stands without consequences.

I think we have to try to right that first, and from there and all these more pressing issues will follow.

The goals of the feminist movement have not been achieved, and those who claim we're living in a post-feminist era are either sadly mistaken or tired of thinking about the whole subject.
