Editorial: Is feminism about justice and humanity, or just about women?

Article here. Excerpt:

'Unless feminism is not about justice and humanity. If feminism is about women, however, then the condition of men is irrelevant.

If far more men have suffered economic hardship in the recession, there should be rejoicing that they are returning to work. It ought not be an occasion to suggest that sexism is coming into play so the goal of having women as secondary citizens is affected. Men are not trying to “snag” a woman's job. Men are simply trying to find work, any work, including work that had been done formerly by another man.

Today, “A Doll's House” would need rewriting. Nora might put it this way: “Before everything else, I'm a woman. I want women to gain power notwithstanding the real conditions of the world. It is only women who concern me. Men may be human, too. I'm not sure.”'
