"Disheartening. Disappointing. Infuriating. These are the emotions young feminists feel when an older person in the movement seems to forget what feminism is all about: the equality of all genders.
When older generations of feminists champion discrimination and prejudice against women who don't look exactly like them, the entire movement loses."

Anyone remember NOW and the Lavender Menace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavender_Menace)? "But... we don't want to be associated with THOSE women..."
