Really? I’ve gotten quite the opposite impression from “The Youths,” that second-wavers are joyless has-beens who want to discourage “sex positivity” and find the notion of being a “chill girl” problematic. There is a lot of internalized misogyny in this country, and much of it is directed at second-wavers.

Sorry...yes, indeed, I was venting. My comment was really directed again the implicit slam against second-wave feminists in the original post, which seems de rigeur these days. I absolutely agree with you.

God, I am just so FUCKING TIRED of all the second-wave feminist bashing. No one ever bashes throwback white male 60s radicals with antiquated, simplistic, and pseudo-colorblind views of gender, race, and economics with the same viciousness...instead, they turn them into cult political figures. Second-wave feminists…
