The Feminist Mystique
h/t InstapunditFeminism is not an idea or a collection of ideas but a collection of appetites wriggling queasily together like a bag of snakes. Feminism has nothing to do with the proposition that women should be considered whole and complete members of the body politic, though it has enjoyed great success marketing itself that way. ...A useful definition is this: Feminism is the words I Want! in the mouths of three or more women, provided theyre the right kind of women. ...Feminism began as a simple grievance, mutated into a kind of conspiracy theory (with patriarchy filling in for the Jews/Freemasons/Illuminati/Bohemian Grove/reptilian shape-shifters/the fiendish plot of Dr. Fu Manchu/etc.), spent the 1980s in grad school congealing into a ridiculous jargon, and with the booming economy of the 1990s was once again reinvented, this time as a career path.
