History of Feminism

it can be legitimately pointed out that yes, we have indeed come a long way since the 1950s.

And honestly, a lot of the problems that *are* occurring, from what I have observed, is the term "privilege" itself being used to describe what is really the opposite for the "other side", as it were. We cannot forget for one moment that there's a whole world outside our little bubble; 90% of ordinary people have no idea what this term originally meant in a social justice context and, as such, they often get the impression that you think that they're better off than the norm & that they're somehow undeserving of whatever good they've got in their life, like a steady job, a good family, etc. I realize that's not the intention in most cases, but I've seen these kinds of problems unfold all too often.

We do need to talk about these issues and understand where & how they intersect, but it's also become clear that we're struggling to reach the public as much as we could, and a good part of that is, sadly, because this outdated theory is really holding us back. If we want to truly capture the hearts of the American public, or at least those who are able to wake up, we definitely need to rethink some things.
