We Won, and We Are NOT Happy About It...

I've mentioned one or two times about the way I like to link Punk Rock and Christianity: they both keep getting declared dead, and they both keep staying around to get declared dead some more. I'm now adding a third movement to that list: Feminism.

What is this, the fourth time feminism has been declared dead? I remember hearing that Three's Company killed it in the late 70's (something having to do with the blonde one and the fact that she was none-too-bright), and that Ally McBeal killed it two decades later, unless it died because the movement leaders protected Bill Clinton against his various semen-receptors.

And now it's dead because...it achieved everything it ever wanted? Except it didn't, if you Read The Whole Thing. Unless it did. At any rate, there's still something or other to be upset about.

Which means feminism isn't dead.
