Wow, this old feminist feels absolutely enshrined.  Now if I could just get my niece to get it.  LOL!  My sister who passed away on 9-30-2011 had mentioned to me that her daughter and her friends would go "women's lib?"  They didn't get it, and I guess I thought maybe they didn't need to.  But about four years ago, my niece then 24, had put an article on her MySpace that really turned my head around.  She is one of those conspiracy theorists who see outrageous plots in just about everything and worries about the "New World Order."  Anyway her article was about one of the Rockefellers telling an interviewer that he bankrolled the feminist movement with the whole idea in mind of breaking up American families to further his New World Order cause.  In the article, he claimed to have financed Ms Magazine and said that Gloria Steinem was a spy for his organization.

Wow!  After all my sister and I did to bring equality to my niece and her generation, this is what they thought about all that???  It caused me to write a very long essay and send it to her.  I have no idea what she made of it.  My niece was born toward the end of 1981, and she also loved shows like Designing Women.  And she had no idea of who Gloria Steinem was until that article she posted and my rebuttal to it.  She is still a conspiracy theorist and the "only one" who really knows what's going on, so I doubt she got much out of it.

So, Alise, your post was a wonderful gift to me and you made my day.
