It’s too bad that blog readership plummets in the summertime, because there are such good conversations going on right now.
A few weeks ago, the feminist blogosphere was in a tither about whether or not feminism has put the interests of middle-class women on hold, while they pursue the interests of poor and working class women. The controversy was sparked by an opinion piece in the Washington Post by Linda Hirshman, who said that feminist goals had become too broad. Feminists should let others deal with social justice issues, while they focus on getting women up the corporate ladder. Less talk about welfare, more talk about glass ceilings. (links when I get the time.)
Last week, some said that feminism was too narrow and had neglected the needs of disabled women.
Today, Megan writes that feminism should include libertarian women, who are lukewarm on abortion issues and aren’t supportive of large governmental programs.
What do you think?
