Feminist Grievance Industry?

Kobi · 11-19-2011, 10:42 AM

Was reading an editorial in the local newspaper today about the sexual harrassment allegations against Cain. The author referred to conservative Republicans calling this a part of the "feminist grievance industry" i.e. women finding a way to be offended by male behavior.

I have never heard of this before. Tho it is meant to be insulting, belittling, and demeaning to women, the phrase itself is starting to grow on me. Put a different spin on it, and it is something to lay claim to like reclaiming dyke or queer.

Found a few references to it and wonder what others thoughts on it might be.
