In this article, Susan Faludi ( a prominent American
feminist) criticizes what she sees as an unfortunate transformation of feminism.
She thinks until a few decades ago feminism was a broad social movement aiming
to create a better world for all – and liberate men, too, from the shackles of
an oppressive socioeconomic success. Now much of what passes for feminism apparently
focuses on personal success (and perhaps equal opportunity self-indulgence?) for
women belonging to the educated elite.
