Thank you for such an eloquent, lively, and thoughtful post, for acknowledging the efforts of generations of women to create a better, more fair society, and for alerting us to the ambivalence and concerns of rising generations. I hope that young men are embracing feminism because they are beginning to get that fairness and flexibility are better for everyone. I have never been able to wrap my brain around why feminist values and politics continue to be associated with women, as if the well-being of our sisters, daughters, lovers, mothers, and friends is not a life issue for everyone, regardless of one's own gender.
