There are women excluded from the feminist movement? How would that make any sense? Women fighting for equal rights means for all women, doesn't it?

You should have seen my five year old daughters face the other day when I told her that not long ago women couldn't vote, and weren't allowed to do certain jobs. Actually the expression on my son's face was the same. Both thought that was just crazy. Which just illustrates that bigotry in general is learned, taught to our children by society. Humans don't come into this world that way.
