Feminism Overshot the Goal | Opinion
The following essay is an excerpt adapted from Peachy Keenan's new book, Domestic Extremist: A Practical Guide to Winning the Culture War, out June 6 from Regnery.Feminists fought for decades to help girls succeed, but they overshot the goal.
They crossed the finish line and then hit the gas and drove the car right off the cliff. The early feminists who wanted women to be treated as equals under the law would spin in their graves if they saw where their descendants have gone.We can all agree that voting and equal rights for all people, including women, are good.
However, "equality" and "feminism" are now just weasel words obfuscating nasty outcomes for your innocent daughters. The kindly, maternal figure of the traditional grandmother has been swallowed whole by the wolf—and she/they plans to eat you next.
Too many of America's boomer grandmothers are more likely to teach their granddaughters to make "My Body My Choice" signs than how to bake a pie.
