Digress away,
"Who Stole Feminism" by Cristina Hoff Summer tells an intelligent tale about what happens when a vital social movement achieves its goals as an advocacy movement (meaning that further improvement is possible- but the need for political intervention has passed) and is then grotesquely twisted to fill the empty lives of an increasingly fanatical minority who need to find an outlet to deal with personal issues.
The same can be said for other movements as well.
Someone is going to misread this and go off- but oh well. I said it as carefully and succinctly as possible- so to hell with it.
