Trickle Down Feminism

So proud of these millennials for Bernie!

1. For all the suposed "increased radicalism as we age,"...

Allot can be said for the fact that a lot of these old guard of the Feminist movement have a lot of fairly well connected positions in society as well as decent net-worth's. I am not questioning their commitments to the cause, but I am just noticing what seems more like a power clique helping their friend out more than some genuine heart felt belief. Maybe Steinem and Albright believe every word their said, maybe they are just looking for ways to help their friend (Which is admirable, I mean I respect loyalty to friends pretty highly).

Still, lets see this for what it is. I don't think Steinem or Albright are necessarily being malicious, I think genuinely they just want to help their friend.

2. I do agree - but don't make snarky comments about the girls/women that don't want to be part of that

clique.
Every generation has their own goals. We should thank the ones that paved the road before us. But now it's their turn.

This was actually from a #notforboys twitter page.

5. And I really believe that they and many Hillary supporters think women should stick together

and vote for Hillary so we can have a woman president.

I don't see how else Steinem could have said that ugly comment she did. I'm glad she said it though, frankly, because I think she really solidified the young woman's support of Bernie by accusing them of doing it for silly reasons.

6. The birth of the good-old-girl's club

Patriarchy ultimately knows no gender.

4. It's true that the establishment is pushing trickle down social justice

And of course the people at the top are fine with that- wanna be equal? Work for it with the deck stacked against you. If you manage to do it, you "deserve" it.

7. The neoliberal translation of feminism

is just another country club.
