Why does feminism still make people angry?

[Z0rr0]

Fairly pointless short feature in Marie Claire promo-ing Badly Behaved Women. Think it's ghost written so hopefully the book is better written than the article. A bit disappointed to hear she spoke to Juno Dawson for the book.

The article reads like a GCSE project.

The first feminists
The first feminists – the suffragists – got called angry, too. Especially when their ‘Deeds Not Words’ campaign saw some of them smashing shop windows and setting fire to pillar boxes. This was desperation, really, because at that point, no one was listening.
When the suffragists began campaigning they provoked great anger. Why? Because women were only seen as wives and mothers, it was men who went to work and held political power. Anger towards the suffragists translated into violence, prison sentences, force feeding and public shaming.

Don't think I'll be snapping this book up in the hope of a fresh take or incisive analysis.

Jesus that extract. That's sub GCSE. I wrote more sophisticated stuff when I was 12.

Yeah the article is poor. Clearly not subbed as it's riddled with typos and poor structure.

And not true, because working class women were at work!

This was desperation, really, because at that point, no one was listening.

More importantly, because they couldn't vote they could not take part in the democratic process.

The first feminists, because Mary Wollstonecroft et al just didn't come up on the wiki page.

Well, I had to go and look! The wikipedia 'history of feminism' is quite good.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_feminism

She wouldn't get a good Mark for this at GCSE - the suffragists (as any fule kno) were non-violent, and worked for women's suffrage by legal means. It was the sufferers that chained themselves to things etc.

Bother - 'suffragettes '. Also, suffragists included men as supporters.

This article is one of the worst-written things I've ever read. Hope her book's editor is good.

I think it qualifies as anti Feminist propaganda and goes some distance to explain the answer to the question it asks.

Because real feminism doesn’t include men.
