What if we elected women that are anti-choice like Carly Fiorina or anti feminist like Rebecca Noecker.<br /><br />"If feminists were to take a step back and view the current situation of women in this country objectively, they might realize that women no longer need interest groups, support networks, activism and doctored curriculae—that they, in fact, are better off without feminists’ supposed help," - Rebecca Noecker. http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2001/10/16/the-farce-of-feminism-strolling-through/<br /><br />If we can't acknowledge that women are unfortunately still at a disadvantage to men - for example: salary or reproductive rights, how can we work to solve these problems. Its like people saying global warming isn't real, and they also don't suffer immediate consequences of rising sea levels. What makes me worried is Rebecca's total sense of privilege. She has never faced adversity because of her gender, therefore it must not exist. I think it is dangerous to our democracy to have people in power who lack the understanding of institutional inequality who then disparage any organizing of individuals for attempting to achieve equality and justice.
