This article was posted in the Daily Mail Hating Feminazi's from Hell Facebook group, I posted a comment on the link & have just pasted said comment below as, even though it's really rough around the edges, it was my immediate thoughts & feelings on the article.
I'm going to read that article again after I've had time to process it as I really hated it, aside from it being incredibly dry & boring it was utter shite that seemed to attack anything & everything, had no real interesting insights other than saying 'ooh remember when we did that? Weren't we daft to think that was a good thing' then reached no real conclusion or solution with the last paragraph stating that we need to be victims to be 'normal'???
It's a mish mash of references that don't seem to connect or say anything particularly useful or inspiring, it contradicts itself too, one minute candid writers offer us nothing as it's a one sided conversation the next Betty Friedan doing the same is a form of self criticism women today are not capable of. If anything though I suppose the article makes it's point that we're all confused, don't know where we're going but are doing it anyway.
As I say though, I'm going to give it another go, it can't be all that bad but my overall first impression wasn't too great & any good points I thought it was trying to make were ruined by the impression that it was just pointing to different women & labelling them or their actions 'good' or 'bad
As an antidote I then found a gem of a mix tape from the blog Don't dance her down boys... called Consumerism Harms Women which is fantastic, celebrates female musicians & cheered me right up.
