ABSTRACT
Feminist attention to children almost always focused on girl children, on attacking sexist biases and promoting alternative images. Now and then feminists would call attention to the need to raise boys in an anti-sexist manner but for the most part the critique of male patriarchy. The insistence that all men had it better than all women, trickled down. It started with grown women in feminist movement receiving therapeutic care acknowledging that they were abuse survivors. And bringing this acknowledgment out of the private realm of therapy into public discourse. And feminist movement must critique women who abuse as harshly as we critique male abuse. Visionary feminist activists have never denied the importance and value of male parental caregivers. Even as we continually work to create greater cultural appreciation of motherhood and the work done by women who mother. In future feminist movement we need to work harder to show parents the ways ending sexism positively changes family life.
