Feminism and Diversity

You are correct in saying I signed up to specifically respond to your comments. I am an older woman so a) am still new to dialogue on the Internet and b) as a woman of color am perhaps overly sensitive to comments that unfairly malign individuals in generalized statements. Not to nitpick and to quote you back to yourself, you wrote: "outcasts of feminism...were considered an embarrassment...by people we lionize as leaders...of feminism (ie Gloria Steinem)...she wrote and spoke some pretty hurtful stuff for... decades." I hope you won't consider it "snarky" or combative of me to ask for any instances of this, especially since you have such a wide and interested audience who could also perhaps gain from this dialogue, if you are willing to respond, myself included.
