Those who support feminism should do what everyone else does to get the attention of today's mindless youths: market it.

How about e-feminism? Feminism-X?

I do, of course, jest. The problem is that a lot of people just don't care about social issues any more. Give them enough booze, celebrity gossip, and other facile culture and they'll be docile enough. Go against the grain and you'll be labelled: a hippie, a traitor, a freak, a goth (don't ask), or some other ill-conceived insult.

I blame that internet thing.

Worse than that, though, is folk who are aware of feminism, however broadly, and think that it's somehow old hat, or something to do with previous generations of women.

I remember being in an otherwise all-women tutorial group for Scottish Literature at University, and I ended up transferring because I kept getting into raging arguments about feminism - it was just too weird being the only bloke and the only feminist in the room! (What a ridiculous situation; a man shouting at a woman that feminism isn't bloody well 'over.')

isnt it amazing how modern 'young women' seem completely oblivious to the suffragette/feminist movement and fail to understand had it not been for these movements/women, they would not have the priviledge of being so nonchalant

getting yer tits out on page three does not a liberated woman make
