Before tonight's results

There is an interesting piece titled, A Letter from Feminists on the Election in the current Nation. I enjoyed reading it however I saw a lot of rainbows and unicorns dancing in the background. It's not that I'm against what these feminists are saying, it's more that I'm cautious of their reactive stance. Where was this discussion a year ago? Yes, Clinton and Obama have had to downplay their gender and race but there has a been a rift in the women's movement for awhile now and frankly, I rarely hear it being discussed by these same feminists. Again, like so many moments in the past twenty years, certain feminists are acting reactively versus being proactive. Could they not meet more frequently?
