This is an interesting article in its own right of course but the rhetoric does strike home tto some extent.

That is feminism generates an awareness of inate social bigotry. However, is replacing the old boys' club with the young girls' club better? I asked myself this question. The answer is quite simply, yes.

Will it improve things in the long haul? I don't think so. If you look at those institutions that have implemented organizational change on the basis of race and gender, there is no guarantee that chauvanism and elitism will dissappear. Quite the countrary this bourgoise notion of social change gives us powerful elitist leaders like Condoleeza Rice that fit the required demographic.

She may become the next president of the United States but that will result in virtually no change in social policy.

On another level though feminists do not really want to replace one organization with another but rathher, mock the authority.

In this sense modern feminism has more in common with Quakerism than say Liberalism or some other narrow dogma.

Society of Friends

What is the philosophy of feminism? What are these young women saying in general about human experience?
