Erm, feminists never burned bras, it was a myth. Nor was being celibate, although a small group in the second wave did advocate not sleeping with men, but back then if your husband ***** you it wasn't legally considered r@pe, being married back then still meant giving a man unfair control over you. Mind you back when women couldn't even own property and their husbands legally owned them and their salaries, feminist still got married, it was never a majority view.

Ah, sorry.

I should add if you have facebook look for rebELLEs and Proud Fringers, they're both really good online groups for Canadian feminists.

The bra burnings didn't happen because of lack of permit, if memory serves.

Nah, it was a myth created after a protest in which bras and panties were thrown into a garbage bin in protest of the Miss America pageant, somehow it got reported that they were burned.

Eh, I'll sit out on the girl's club. I reject your gender binary :P

I agree that they were not burned. I'm saying the reason they were not burned is that a permit for the burning could not be obtained.

That's what I found to refresh my memory.

This will sound horribly prejudice and awful, but, I think a lot of population issues aren't being helped by Mormons and their producing like bunnies
