I want to talk to you about a new feminism for the 21st century.

There are three pillars to this new feminism, dignity, the word no, and men.

That's right, men.

But before I expound on these three ideas, you need to know something about me.

I was very involved in the feminist movement, including being on the board of directors

of the National Organization for Women.

For this I feel much pride and some guilt.

Pride because feminism has pushed forward some very important and needed changes.

And guilt because it has also done a lot of damage.

My work now is to reverse that damage.

So in that spirit, let's talk about the first pillar of this new feminism, dignity.

Dignity is at the core of what feminism should always be about.

And it means that a woman should be able to freely choose her own path in life.

That's what feminism once held.

But does it still?

Ask almost any female college student today what she aspires to be, and she'll list any

number of career choices.

The one she won't list is wife and mother.

In fact, anytime someone has the temerity to suggest that a woman might want to look for

a husband while in college.

As a very successful Princeton grad recently did in a letter to the school's newspaper,

feminists go nuts.
