On Feminism

I have been very busy on Twitter today (clearly), and that i know not everybody who belongs to the city here's on Twitter, so, with apologies to individuals who're seeing this both in spaces, I am attempting to share the highlights.Simply mind boggling how much hostility continues to be produced through the simple suggestion to exhibit gratitude to feminists/womanists. #tellafeministthankyou&mdash Melissa McEwan (@Shakestweetz) Feb 12, 2013Seems as if there's a minimum of at much antipathy about acknowledging women's value &lifier act as about feminism itself. Not really a coincidence.&mdash Melissa McEwan (@Shakestweetz) Feb 12, 2013I'm also unsurprised to determine once more the tries to discredit feminism by demeaning US activism.
