Saracuda vs. "Feminist" Piranhas
Bruce Walker explains the difference between the personification of true feminism, Sarah Palin, and the rabid moonbat "feminists" who denounce her with such hatred:
What we have been taught to call "feminism" today has nothing to do with original feminism. The pseudo-feminism of NOW is simply the Ladies Auxiliary of modern Leftism. When Clinton brutally raped a woman, where were these feminists? No where. When radical Moslems right now treat women in ways that would have horrified Americans two centuries ago, where is the support for American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan? Again, no where. When a woman, lovingly supported by her husband, builds a career as a reformer against a corrupt political machine, where are the pseudo-feminist cheer leaders of the Democrat Party? Cheer leading for Obama, the product of a corrupt political machine.
What the original feminists had and what Sarah Palin has is what the pseudo-feminist party hacks lack: Principles. Feminism was based not upon the proposition of advancing "women's issues," but upon [advancing] principles of individual equality. The platform for these principles was not the Democrat Party Platform but the Judeo-Christian moral tradition of divinely created human souls. Feminism was concerned above all with the process of fairness, not the equivalence of result.
Like the civil rights movement in general, feminism has been corrupted into something its founders would not have wanted any part of.
On a tip from Byron.

I don't think it was corrupted; I think it was always a vehicle for leftist agitation, much like the civil rights movement.
In both cases, leftists saw the legitimate grievances of a group as an opportunity to "organize the masses." That drew in people who subscribed to redressing those grievances to the broader goal of the organizers.
That's particularly clear in the case of feminism. The legitimate grievances have now essentially all been addressed; there are no issues remaining, and all that's left is leftist agitation, the one overriding principle throughout.

The old-time femnists --in America, at least-- felt that they had proved their point and gained pretty much what they wanted durring World War Two. In the forties and fifties, it settled down a bit to individual causes, but then was "revived" in the RADICAL SIXTIES, joining the "civil rights movement". This was to the LATTER'S advantage, as the "marchers" didn't really support the "libbers". The "women's libbers" abandoned the feminine cause and worked to eliminate the social diffrences between men and women, which is a part of the COMMUNIST society. They also publicly endorsed the communists in Viet Nam.
As Jay pointed out, the leftists/communists infiltrated any group they could to spread their poison. It was not untill the Iron Curtin fell and our agents were alowed to view Soviet documents that we found out just how far they had infiltrated the West.

the feminists were always communists. the suffragettes were not feminists, they were suffragettes. the feminists gathered these others unto them and "christened" them feminists as a way to ligitimize themseleves.
the noble feminists were always a myth.
who they celebrate has to be political kin, they have always shunned women like palin. many know who sanger is, few know who emmy noether is.
"Feminism, Socialism, and Communism are one in the same, and Socialist/Communist government is the goal of feminism." - Catharine A. MacKinnon, Toward a Feminist Theory of the State (First Harvard University Press, 1989), p.10
"A world where men and women would be equal is easy to visualize, for that precisely is what the Soviet Revolution promised." - Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex (New York, Random House, 1952), p.806
“Overthrowing capitalism is too small for us. We must overthrow the whole... patriarchy.” -- Gloria Steinem
"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within." -- Josef Stalin
"Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of 'emergency'. It was the tactic of Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini. In the collectivist sweep over a dozen minor countries of Europe, it was the cry of men striving to get on horseback. And 'emergency' became the justification of the subsequent steps. This technique of creating emergency is the greatest achievement that demagoguery attains." -- Herbert Hoover
"We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism." -- Nikita Kruschev
"The threat of environmental crisis will be the 'international disaster key' that will unlock the New World Order." -- Mikhail Gorbachev, quoted in "A Special Report: The Wildlands Project Unleashes Its War On Mankind", by Marilyn Brannan, Associate Editor, Monetary & Economic Review, 1996, p.
just some interesting quotes i found.

Bingo. Sorry, ladies. History illustrates that the real feminism is embodies by Sarah Palin. The Gloria Steinem version? Not feminism, just “liberalism with a woman’s face.” Or more specifically, socialism-communism with a woman’s face.
