What did feminism mean 40 years ago in Europe and what does it mean today?
It didn’t have a good reputation then nor it has it now but this is fine, because it means it’s alive.
Really?
Obviously, because otherwise it would be in a museum and wouldn’t scare anyone.
Is it possible to say the same thing about global feminism?
Yes, of course. There are many societies where feminism, I guess, has a horrible reputation. Just think about all those places where women are not considered as human beings.
