Canadian columnist Karen Von Hahn has declared feminism "out of style." Her evidence? The unpopularity of Ms., the fact that her daughter doesn't recognize Gloria Steinem, and the unwillingness of women to vote for Hillary simply because she's a woman. But she also attributes the "failure" of feminism to womens' unwillingness to embrace each other as sisters. "Like mean girls in the playground, we started feeling all warm and fuzzy toward Clinton only after our claws and barbs drew tears. Which, given the current 'race versus feminism' question, might help explain why Clinton is doing just about as well with black voters as Obama is doing with women," Von Hahn writes. "Because if there is one thing that blacks and women share, apart from their oppression from the white male corridors of power, it is their enduring lack of faith in their own community."
