I, too, yearn for the good old feminist days, but that's another story. For what it's worth, here is my 2 cents on why women are so damn hard on another women. To blame women for rape or harassment is a form of self-protection -- if it isn't the women's fault, then it must be men's: random men and a whole system of random sexist crap that you can't control. Way to scary to imagine that no matter what you do, some terrible thing might happen to you. Far easier to blame the woman who lost control over her life.
