I understand the urge, but I don't think a "pure" form of feminism exists. As has been talked about, feminism as a movement has been guilty of racism, classism, even misogyny. No social movement is without its serious blind spots and drawbacks. None can be glorified.

I also agree with some things you said, Heart, but it seems as though the right has succeeded in its attempt to divide and conquer.
