  Excuse Me Ms. Magazine - But is There A Mr. On Your Cover?

  Melissa McEwan's blog post was disappointing. She obviously knows very little about Barack Obama's record in Illinois and his work on behalf of equal rights. The people who responded to her blog wrote very frustrating comments, making it seem like no man can be a feminist. As a proud feminist I supported Obama early on and I was proud of his more "feminine" views on foreign policy and in his perspective. I majored in Women's Studies at Berkeley and we always defined feminism as any person who believes in equal rights for men and women. When we make it an exclusive club we are not helping our cause. It seems there is a generational divide on how we view feminism and the future of our movement. I hope that older feminists start valuing the input of younger feminists more and listen to us over the battles we think our worth fighting. At this point, I am more interested in results than symbolism.
