		<description><![CDATA[Susan Faludi offers a litany of pending women&#8217;s issues (not in the quoted section below), in describing the anger among feminists regarding the treatment of the Hillary Clinton candidacy, and offers a timely and appropriate caution against post-feminism or new wave feminism attitudes:

Dennis Perrin: Opposed Until They&#8217;re Not
Gee, I don&#8217;t recall this kind of liberal concern about John Kerry in &#8216;04, who voted the same as Bayh, and made the same insipid excuse that he was &#8220;duped&#8221; into backing the [...]]]></description>
