Back to the basics: What the modern day feminist movement can learn from the suffragists

Radical feminists have forgotten the roots of feminism. They have distorted the term so much that many young women shy away from it, refusing to label themselves as feminists. They have reduced "women's issues" to an incessant debate over reproductive rights, complaining about fictional forms of oppression ad nauseam in the process.

Worst of all, throughout all their complaining, the feminist movement ignores the plight of women around the world. Feminists from Hillary Clinton to Code Pink have even gone so far as to say that Iraqi women were better off under Saddam Hussein. Better off under an oppressive dictator? That hardly sounds like a voice of justice and equality for women.
