A Gold Mine of Information and Quirky Attitude: Quite a "Find"!

Here is something that I stumbled upon in the course of attempting to stumble upon something else:

It is Chapter 129 of a very long (obviously!) book -- only some of which seems to be available at the website. The political orientation appears to be pro-life religious conservative, but unlike anything else in that line I have ever seen before.

The author writes scathingly and piquantly about something that he (she?) calls "neo-feminism", and from the description given, I think that most of us could agree to call this plain old radical feminism. Yet the author seems bent upon "redeeming" what he is pleased to call "true" feminism:

"There are several major inconsistencies that are central to the very spirit of the Neofeminist movement. These inconsistencies cannot be excised without destroying the essence and basic philosophy of the movement; the inconsistencies are an integral, vital and inseparable feature of Neofeminist thinking.

"The Neofeminist movement was created when traditional feminists began to apply double standards to their thinking. Eventually, the movement came to rest on these double standards and use them as its foundation. Therefore, if Neofeminists jettisoned their inconsistencies, their movement would lose its heart and die or revert back into a true feminist movement."

Wow! This ALMOST sounds like something that I myself might have written! All except the bit about "true feminist movement". I would personally never say anything like that. In fact, according to me, "neofeminism" itself IS the true feminist movement. As true as it gets.

All right, so head on over there and enjoy that. It is long, but I think you will find it richly entertaining and chock-full of stuff you'll find useful to know about.
