Some people are very fatalistic & claim that within a generation, the worst of feminist ideas will be universally accepted & adhered to. /2

They speak of indoctrination but I'd remind them we've had communal Christian worship in schools forever &most of us still have no faith. /3

They still want what they always want -opportunities to do what it was they wanted to do anyway & loving connections to the opposite sex./6

So we definitely need to be concerned about these ideas & counter them but lets not get apocalyptic about it. The tide is turning. /7

Interest is waning. Most ppl just want to be able to do what they want to do & we can now. The rest of feminism is special interest

@tibfulv Very little of what we want is culturally conditioned. Culture just affects what is on offer and the way we frame it & justify it.0 replies 1 retweet 5 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
