273. And the article under discussion is written by a preeminent young feminist who has an astounding

resume for such a young age--her magazine is quite polished, and her essays are thoughtful and articulate. I haven't seen anything save complaints from her detractors--if they have a record of activism, it's not present on the internet like the works of the women in this group.

Unfortunately, too many people didn't look her up, or even realize this entire protest was being publicized by a group of organized feminists (not some leering "he&quot who are the future of the feminist movement, and who have their own ideas about what's "OK" and what's not.

I'm an old fart and this kind of "in your face" display is well outside my comfort zone. I don't consider it "shocking" or "sexy" or "Oooh la la"--I consider it unseemly and undignified, because that's how I was brought up. That said, these young women could give a flying crap what I think, and that's completely fine with me --they're the future, I'm the past, and I can understand why they're doing what they do. I admire their courage even while I question their judgment and fear for their safety.
