Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem had their day. Back in the sixties and seventies women were relegated to secretary and nursing jobs. Women still have some distance to go to break into the various engineering fields which includes computer science and wage parity in all fields.

What my question is here is; Are radical feminist agendas invented by the right wing media so that their target market the middle aged uneducated male has a scapegoat for disappearing jobs?

Also,

If these so called Feminazis do exist why aren't they screaming about the leggy blond Miss America candidates broadcasting the news on FOX?

I am a female in a 99% male profession.

But, I am not radical......or, invented.

I use my looks to get jobs.

I work outside......in the heat......I wear short shorts and tank tops......many times wet.

So, if Fox hires good looking EDUCATED females......that is OK with me.

there really are no "radical feminists" just women working to get equality. just where are the radical fems? do they march in the streets? picket? riot? stomp their feet? no. the only real organization for women and equality is NOW and they just go about their business trying to make folks aware of the problems facing women of the world and try to solve the problems. the radical feminist are mostly made up in the minds of men who don't want women to be on equal footing as men. if the shoe fits.....

Any one else?

No. They make themselves look like idiots. They wear vagina and breast costumes outside the GOP national convention. They wear tampons as ear-rings. They are quiet when an abortion doctor keeps baby parts in jars in his office, when it comes out that some abortion clinics use unqualified personnel to give anethesia and when information is provided that there is little state oversight into the safe practices of abortion clinics. They are silent when a university "uninvites" a muslim woman who has personally experienced unimaginable torture and speaks out against muslim practices used against women. They are silent when a previous female Secretary of State is "uninvited" to speak at a university commencement but which then invites Snookie to speak. They whine that as college students they can't afford birth control so they want you and me to pay for it. They are silent about the alarming rise in single motherhood (and the almost guaranteed poverty that comes with that choice). Their female "womens' studies" professors steal anti-abortion signs from students on their campuses, and they are silent when female progressive students tell other students to stay away from conservative female student booths at on-campus womens' functions. They are silent when the administration declares that there is a "war on women" in this country, when there is a real war on women taking place in muslim dominated countries all over the world. They leave threatening notes outside of (and throw eggs at) the dorm room door of a conservative muslim student in Michigan because they do not like what he wrote in the college newspaper.

I could give more examples but you get the idea. NOW and other agenda driven womens' groups sold their soul to Washington decades ago.

Look - I am a woman and I know first hand that women experience many challenges in life, and that some of those challenges are society created. But to say that there are no radical feminists and that women are just "working to get equality" is disingenuous. So was the comment about men not wanting women on equal footing (which was the real point of your post). You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it. So get real, or stupid posts like the one I quoted above will receive the dismissive trashing that they deserve.

My thought is that people would rather get their news from good looking people than from ugly people. Just like they'd rather watch movies with good looking people and watch music videos featuring good looking people. Just like they'd rather vote for good looking people.

Move it along. Nothing to see here.

No, there are radical feminists, full of hate, venom, anger, and prejudice. They lead the movement into its current state of sheer insanity.

Those who are "working for equality" are fans of Sarah Palin.

The rest are radicals filled with hate.
