Yep, and feminists completely failed at gate keeping their movement. Since when did feminism need to be inclusive of men? This is an argument I will never understand.

I think what happened was that older feminists, like myself, thought the most crucial battles had been won, so went off to live life.

In the meantime, some nefarious forces, who don't want women to have freedom, realized that children really are the future, so changed "Women's Studies" to "Gender Studies" at universities and started pushing a new "feminism" - Third Wave or whatever - that is actually a men's rights movement.

Then older feminists like me woke up and the house was on fire, so we became Insta-TERFs.
