Which I blame on two important historical facts: 1) the US government effectively infiltrated and smashed the feminist movement, just as they did the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement, and the progressive movement; and 2) the angry, arrogant, ball-breaking stereotype feminists enjoy in the mainstream media is mainly the one the US government manufactured for them. <br /><br />Unfortunately the US intelligence role played by America's feminist poster girl Gloria Steinem is still largely invisible to most Americans. In 1976 Steinem blocked Random House from publishing details about her CIA past (see http://www.mail-archive.com/ctrl@listserv.aol.com/msg02217.html). Steinem also very effectively used Ms Magazine to create massive divisions between professional and working class feminists and between feminists and the male gender. More recently evidence has surfaced about an operation Steinem created and ran to plant "black feminists" in civil rights organizations to break them up(see http://rah.posterous.com/black-feminism-the-cia-and-gloria-steinem-fwd). I write about my experience with some of these "pseudo-feminists" in my recent memoir: THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY ACT: MEMOIR OF AN AMERICAN REFUGEE (www.stuartbramhall.com). I currently live in exile in New Zealand.stuartbramhallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416342540260631414noreply@blogger.com
