Catholic Feminism, Again

Who Were the Early Feminists in the U.S.?

The first generation of Uhmerican feminists are ok because they were "pro-life"; never mind what their other beliefs were - sounds like the Catholic support of the Republican party, doesn't it? And it sounds like the author doesn't disagree with the goals of contemporary feminism, either: "Forty years after abortion was legalized, women have not achieved pay equity in the workplace, and they’re still doing most of the work at home."

Why U.N. Feminists Should Want to Partner with the Holy See by Erika Bachiochi (via Mirror of Justice)

Is any sort of argument defending tradition because women benefit evidence of "the feminine imperative"? She may cite John Paul II about the domination of women by men, but what of the domination of men by women? Or the abuse, disrespect, and maltreatment of husbands by wives?
