What is feminism?

What is feminism?  Left wing papers and feminist commentators are raging against yesterday’s news that the UK’s second female Prime Minister will again be a Tory.

“Don’t confuse the Conservatives’ embrace of female leaders with feminism”, declared a column in the Guardian. “A Tory leadership race between two women is not a feminist revolution”, read the heading in the New Statesman, describing the Tory leadership contest as a “panicked pound-shop Thatcher tribute band contest”.

Andrea Loadsom came in second.  She has been criticized for overstating her professional qualifications.  She got 84 votes to 194 votes for Theresa May.  The vote which decides who will be the next Prime Minister occurs Sept. 9, 2016.

The hard left  Labor leader  Corbyn  who is  supportive  of VICE magazine gave both candidates a “0/10” “feminist rating”.

Corbyn  concluded: “So who wins? Well not women, that’s for sure. Or anyone, from the looks of it.”
