"We
need another feminist movement for the younger women. I don’t
know who is going to start it. I don’t see any leadership
in the society doing that for the younger women, because
the feminists have declared success and gone home. Their
job is done, and they
are retired.
"
How many women’s voices did you hear during the recent
terrorist crisis as expert commentators? Zero. I think the American
feminist
movement has basically abandoned women, given up on them
and declared success, prematurely, and said we made it because
a few women have
been appointed into professional positions.
"
I don’t think that is enough. I mean, look at the CEOs
of professional corporations. Look at the major politicians.
Whom
do we have? Have we ever had a woman president? How many
media outlets do we have with women at the top or women as anchors?
I
think there is no hope, I don’t think in my lifetime
it is going to change. It makes me very upset that in my
lifetime I am
not going to see the kind of life I want to have."
