As A Second Wave Feminist, I Am Pissed

 

I was a charter subscriber to Ms. Magazine. I wrote the Roe v. Wade extra edition of The Tech (OK, Beth told me to write it, but I wrote it). I have never dated a woman who wasn’t a feminist.

Imagine how pissed I am to find out that in the 21st-century not only don’t we have flying cars or humanoid robot servants, we don’t have abortion rights and we don’t have workplace equality. I was reminded of this bitter truth recently by an article about how hard it still is for a woman to have children and a career ― a choice that men don’t have to make.
