Feminism is out of style?

My first reaction was, "I never realized it was in style."  More importantly, though, the problem with "feminism" as many of my generation and younger experience it is that, like many orthodoxies of the Left, the establishment that espouses it has a rigid, one-size-fits-all small-tent approach.  If you're not burning bras and raising consciousness and sitting on hand mirrors, then you're not "really" a feminist.  That's not appealing to me, or to many other people of my generation, who actually do believe that women and men should be treated equally in the eyes of the law and by employers, educators, and other institutions, but who may not subscribe to the man-bashing, lipstick-foreswearing, fish-and-bicycle crowd. Jessica over at Feministing had a similar take. 

Just an FYI, I first noticed Feministing because of the infamous boob-gate squabble between the Feministing girls and the Divine Ms. Althouse, and I've been loosely following it ever since.  I'm not inclined to share most of the Feministing views, but the posts can be extremely interesting and sometimes even cause my hair to actually burst into flame. Which I like.

AND, by the way, since we're on Feministing: Wow, just wow. That beats the Hillary nutcracker by miles and miles.
