      This

      been
      the
      theme
      of
      feminism
      over
     
     
      ie
      past
      number
      of
      years.
      Many
      of
      these
      feminist
     
     
      woman
      have
      been
      preaching
      this
      as
      gospel
      since
      the
     
     
      beginning.
      Now
      lam
      not
      talking
      about
      the
      average
     
     
      oman
      who
      is
      looking
      for
      equality
      between
      the
      sexist,
     
     
      or!
      amall
      for
      that,
      but
      rather
      I
      am
      talking
      about
      the
     
     
      foman
      who
      seem
      to
      rather
      enjoy
      using
      half-truths
      and
     
     
      nisquotes
      to
      help
      prove
      their
      points.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      tis
      a
      sad
      fact
      but
      it
      is
      these
      people
      who
      are
      fighting
     
    

    
     
      o
      hard
      for
      the
      feminist
      movement
      that
      are
      helping
      to
     
    

    
     
      lestroy
      the
      movements
      credibility.
      How
      many
      of
      us
     
    

    
     
      io
      not
      picture
      the
      ‘‘typical
      feminist’’
      as
      a
      mean,
      man-
     
    

    
     
      yating
      fighter.
      Although
      this
      is
      untrue,
      this
      is
      the
     
    

    
     
      Mage
      that
      many
      of
      the
      ‘‘extreme’’
      feminist
      are
      giving
     
    

    
     
      the
      movement,
      It
      seems
      strange
      that
      although
      most
     
    

    
     
      minist
      do
      notalways
      agree
      with
      the
      extremist
      in
      the
     
    

    
     
      ovement
      that
      there
      are
      so
      few
      of
      them
      that
      vocally
     
    

    
     
      te
      this,
      Ifonly
      more
      would
      speak
      up
      and
      show
      that
     
    

    
     
      ey
      are
      not
      as
      radical
      as
      the
      extremist
      them
      maybe
     
    

    
     
      hat
      would
      start
      to
      revive
      the
      credibility
      back
      to

      ;

      then
      in
      trying
      to
     
    

    
     
      bllow
      meekly
      behind
      some
      of
      these
      ‘‘bold’’
      leaders
     
    

    
     
      ho
      give
      a
      distorted
      ij
      ee
      to
      the

      yet

      lot
      farther
      ahead
      in
      the
      long
      run.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      One
      last
      thought.
      It
      has
      been
      suggested
      that
      maybe
     
     
      some
      ofthe
      great
      minds
      of
      our
      past
      were
      simply
      men
     
     
      taking
      the
      credit
      for
      their
      wife's
      ideas.
      I
      guess
      Mrs.
     
     
      Einstein
      was
      the
      one
      who
      really
      came
      up
      with
      the
     
     
      theory
      of
      relativity
      and
      that
      Albert
      only
      got
      the
      credit
     
     
      because
      he
      was
      a
      man.
      If
      this
      is
      true
      ,
      do
      we
      also
      give
     
     
      the
      credit
      for
      helping
      to
      develop
      the
      nuclear
      bomb
      to
     
     
      Mrs.
      Einstein?
