Reply #104: You can see the problem. Feminism, abolition and the peace movement

were born as triplets. Clinton's relationship to that history seems tenuous at best given not only her voting history but also the campaign she's run. And then, unhelpfully, some of her more unhinged supporters are urging people to contribute to McCain. Until she decides to discourage that behavior, is it really slander?

The claim that Clinton somehow represents women is a political talking point not really born out by her actions and often waved around by her base who largely seem to know little or nothing about feminism at all. It's branding and it diminishes the women's movement.

Feminism is too diverse in itself for anyone to claim to be a "true" feminist. But there is philosophy and behavior that is materially not in the feminist tradition -- like telling women who they must vote for.
