Are feminists out of touch with the majority of women?
Article Abstract:
Disagreement exists on whether feminists have lost touch with most women in their society. Critics see the 1970s brand of feminism as promoting an alienated egocentricity, where economic concerns and self-fulfillment have replaced relationships. Supporters note that more women voters consider themselves feminists than any other kind of voter, and that the traditional gender gap in voting and political issues will expand.

Legislators are examining the possibility of using a history of domestic violence as evidence in pleas of self defense.
