Counterpoint: Women need to get over themselves
Article Abstract:
The biggest problem with American feminism is its obsession with women and much of the contemproary American feminism movement is preoccupied with the mistaken belief that female leadership is inherently different and will lead to feminist social change. The actual workings of power will not change with more chromosomal diversity among the powerful and hence it is best to accept vital feminist work to keep from losing out on tremendous liberatory potential.
