Because I've noticed that a lot of the people complaining about feminism in this section are really really defining it the most narrowly I can think of. There are groups of feminists who are pro-life, groups based on racial gender issues, those anti-p**n and those pro-p**n, those who are ecologically-minded, liberal feminists, anarcho-feminists, those who concentrate on third-world treatment of women, and those who just hold to some basic ideas of changing the way social conditions work for women, who may not even call themselves feminists, but that's mostly because it's a dirty word.
Why do you think it is that the view projected by anti-feminists is so negative and biased? Is it because of the media's defamation of the word "feminism"? What can happen to reclaim the word, or to help others realize the breadth and scope of world views of women? And if you don't think that I'm correct here, can you intelligently explain to me why?
