'second wave feminism" [View All]

I've done some reading about this but I'm much more familiar with feminist writings about getting the right to vote and the 70's feminists. I'm fairly knowledgeable about earlier feminists. Ideas change and evolve. I do not support everything the early feminists said or promoted but I honor them and respect them. Some of the posts on the 'bitch' threads implied that the 'new' feminists are better than the old ones. Smarter, more politically astute, and the old issues hurt feminism. I just don't get it or understand. I think you don't understand the context of the previous fights. Does anyone want to explain your animosity and self-righteousness to older feminists?
