a. Feminism has been criticized as exhibiting a rigid intolerance which, unfortunately, has driven away women who choose motherhood over high-powered careers, women who are American patriots, many religious women, women who do not identify themselves primarily in terms of sexual preference, and women who oppose abortion, pornography and prostitution. Said outside-the-mainstream feminists hold abolitionist views about pornography, prostitution, trafficking, and sexual slavery; viewing males as partners rather than oppressors; in short, are conservative.
b. Support for these excluded but self-identified feminists has come from an unexpected precinct: author of Third Wave Feminism, Rebecca Walker.
Her mother is Alice Walker, Second Wave Feminist, and author of The Color Purple.
According to Alice, her mothers absolutist presumptions about male oppression, and the burden of having children, alienated her, and produced the kind of atmosphere which can only be considered child abuse.

The truth is that I very nearly missed out on becoming a mother - thanks to being brought up by a rabid feminist who thought motherhood was about the worst thing that could happen to a woman.
You see, my mum taught me that children enslave women. I grew up believing that children are millstones around your neck, and the idea that motherhood can make you blissfully happy is a complete fairytale.
I was raised to believe that women need men like a fish needs a bicycle. But I strongly feel children need two parents
But I honestly believe it's time to puncture the myth and to reveal what life was really like to grow up as a child of the feminist revolution .with my mother's knowledge, started having sex at 13. I guess it was a relief for my mother as it meant I was less demanding. And she felt that being sexually active was empowering for me because it meant I was in control of my body.
The ease with which people can get divorced these days doesn't take into account the toll on children. That's all part of the unfinished business of feminism .Feminism has betrayed an entire generation of women into childlessness. It is devastating.
I am my own woman and I have discovered what really matters - a happy family.
