but one of the new feminists, jessica valenti, wrote in "the washington post" just a few weeks ago that the definition of feminism is that we are under an oppressive patriarchy, and they've got to work to overturn it and stop it so that's what feminism is. it is also not true that they are working for equality. the feminists are for empowerment by the female left. you find that they're not empowering all women, they want to make an alliance with the left wing, and so it's the female left that has become so powerful when it aligned itself with the obama administration. now, when the feminist movement got underway really in the late '60s, early '70s, they called themselves not feminism, they called themselves the women's liberation movement. and you have to ask what did they want to be liberated from? they wanted to be liberated from home, husband, family and children. and so you find that they were, are encouraging women to be independent of men. that's why they were big supporters of divorce, and they looked upon marriage as a very confining role in life. gloria stein them in said that
