re: #4 wrenchwench

In the seventies, the big controversy in feminism was recognition of Lesbians and their issues as feminists and feminist issues. Then women of color. Not surprised that now it’s trans women.

The TED organizers are just cashing in on the movement, celebrating what some women have achieved and ignoring the poor, as always. They are rich women (look at the ticket prices) and rich women have never had a problem with access to abortion.

The rich by and large don’t have to deal with real political opposition to getting what they want, so it is easy to understand where this political naivet (if that’s all it really is) is coming from.
