(860 posts)I see some strawmen there. I never once talked about boobs on the tv or female directors. You are using those examples to trivialize the very real struggle that feminists have against the very real threat to their autonomy and equality. That is not very nice, is it? Why would you insult the work to promote human rights?
For the record,
1. you don't have to go to the fourth world to find hunger.
2. Being told you can only have one child is also controlling a woman's right to choose over her body.
3. The woman in Africa, if she's been unlucky enough to have to go through Female Genital Mutilation, has to actually SURVIVE a pregnancy before she can worry about what to do with the baby, and really.... All of what this tells me is that we need more feminism, not less. A more intersectional feminism that listens to the troubles of all its members, but nevertheless more.
