(don't even get me started on her book club.) haha, flora, i don’t think oprah had much to do with this particular article, but still, her website (and show) has been a forum for sickly-sweet, subtly anti-feminist messages. starting with suzanne somers and her weird vagina injections….gross!

Thinking of the word "feminist" as opposed to "feminine" is the oldest and most annoying stereotype in the book. Shame on you, Oprah. Just when I was beginning to like you because of your "Precious" endorsement. Is this woman from the stone age?

She said that it will always make people uncomfortable because it points, in no uncertain terms, to the fact of disparities between the sexes that negatively affect women. Read the Oprah article. "Feminine-ism"?? Now there's a clumsy word. Why not simply say you're feminist and feminine? Much more provocative--in a beautiful way.
