"concrete, measurable goals"

Steve rings the bell.

Feminism originally pursued goals like equality in wages; women were notoriously underpaid compared to men doing the same work nd when occupations like nursing because feminized their wages fell.

And lo, feminism made some progress. Wages converged a little. Not completely but measurably. One would think this would be cause for celebration.

This isn't what happened.

Some feminists were in it for equality and political gain; others were in it for the rage. When I volunteered at a co-op I got smoldering glares from feminists with facial hair because I was male.

Anyway this is when the womon/womyn and fish/bicycle bullshit started and discussions switched from wage equality to immeasurables like patriarchal attitudes.

Can anyone say we're making progress toward diminishing patriarchal attitudes?
