Laura Hudson says;

''Take comfort in knowing this not a new development: feminism has evolved over the years from concerns about suffrage, to concerns about reproductive rights, to concerns about including ALL women in its mandate''

''I have great respect for the contributions that many older women made to the feminist movement, at times when it was harder than I have ever experienced. It is also time for them to listen, to learn, to step aside''

Laura hasn't actually set an age limit for stepping aside (Or the 'Logans Run' mandate as some Twitter users are calling it)
Laura seems blissfully unaware of The Equality Act, its become irrelevant now all the lesser battles have been won. Ageism doesn't concern her at all.
She's said we can rejoin feminism when we catch up.

Oh, she's about the same age as me. Does that mean that I am still young?

Ha ha ha ha. No.

Laura Hudson only has the privilege to say this because of all the women who came before her.

Her entitled attitude can kiss my 43 year old arse.

Who is Laura Hudson, and why should I care? (I mean, as far as I can see from a quick google, she's hardly an intellectual heavyweight of the stature of Germaine Greer, or someone with the political clout and effectiveness of Barbara Castle...)

She's pushing 40, while not being particularly old, it's not young either.

People have not been taking this lying down.

''And young feminists have almost successfully taken women's rights back to the age of Industrialization. They're authoritarian, anti-freespeech and ban pinks cat hats because they are apparently symbols of white supremacy.''
