Are you pained by the nonchalance of younger Feminists or younger women in general?
I don't think we can expect any more from younger women in general than previous generations did. Every generation makes that comment about the next generation, especially when it comes to sexual matters. The first wave made them about the second wave too.
If you're talking about younger Feminists, the word on the street is that the women who preceded us were bad-assed heroines. The nonchalance depends on where you look. Women like me wouldn't be here trying to build on your successes if there was any nonchalance about them.
These women are heroes to me. I don't consciously take anything they did for granted. Some of my favorite Feminists at DU are in their 60s through 70s and I'm looking forward to learning from them and growing with them. I could be mistaken but I think we had a private exchange once on race and feminism. Despite some of the testiness, I appreciated everything you shared and am glad you showed up in this thread. I hope you share a lot more sister.
