Give me that old time feminism Blog

In  her 2006 essay for the Huffington Post, "Give Me that Old Time Feminism", New York Times bestselling author Barbara Erhrenreich asserts that, old time feminism is dying out and how some of the older feminism groups have started calling of the dogs and have given in to the new role for women in society. However, noting that there are still some old time feminists still out there ready to make a big deal about the mistreatment of women, and to fight pornography and fight for women's rights among many other things. Then she brings the point to the table about how Islamic culture treats women like chattel (property).







I dont necessarily think think that full-on feminism is the way to go, but i do agree with many points that she has in terms of how women are treated in the world today, and how they have been treated. I did start off reading it and it seemed extremely boring, but then i read to where she talked about Islamists, and i was like Yes ,that culture does treat women like crap, this lady has made an excellent point, thus making me somewhat interested. The way Islamic culture treats women is horrific to say the least. If any women think they have it bad here, they really would not last long in largely Islamic cultured countries.
