The feminist divide

Someone posted on twitter that parents spent such effort wanting or teaching their kids to walk and talk, and when the kids can walk and talk, the parents want the to sit down and shut up.

Listening this bloggingheads.tv episode makes me think of how this twitter comment relates to the disdain older feminist feel for younger feminist. The old feminist want all young women to have choices, to go out and fight for what the want, and to be authentic, but they get offended when the choices they younger women make differs from their own, they get offended when the younger women make choices they cannot imagine.
