I actually think that in many respects, NOW it's almost as damaging to scream from the rooftops about it. It used to be effective.
From what I've seen, I think that feminists have screamed about it for so long and so hard that people just don't listen any more. They've heard it all before, and some don't believe it anyway. The rest know that it's unfair, but have heard it for so long that the speech is actually annoying.
When I see women who say things like what you've used as examples above, I want to strangle them. When I see women who scream about how things are unfair, I kind of want to strangle them too.
Personally, I think that feminism would make a better stand by getting involved and doing, rather than mainly saying. I'm involved in outreach and stuff, and I think that it's more important to SHOW people what you're capable off than to just say it. It's different; people have heard, but they just haven't SEEN.
