Feminism and all that

I'm halfway through Bitchfest. Sometimes there are articles of interest to me and some I just skip after the first two paragraphs.
I'm not sure exactly were I fit in. I've been trying to raise my daughter gender neutral. I thought this would be easy. I liked sports and hated not to be able to play on the jewish orthodox little league team. We changed that and I got to play. The Congressional League softball teams require that there will be 3 women on each team. That rule keeps it non-serious and fun. Although I generally don't like quotas, I do believe they have redeeming factors. My daughter does not have my sports gene. At least not yet. She likes nail polish and dresses. I'm hoping when we switch schools it will all change.

I'm glad I'm reading it. I thought I knew what a feminist was and I thought I was one of them. No one knows what it is and there are only bad associations with the F word. They actually need a compelling issue to stay relevant. Pro Women is a lot of things. They need to become relevant. They need an issue no rational person will argue with. I have to think about that.
