Young actress Shailene Woodley was correct in her statement about feminism and the proper balance between the sexes.
Her statement put older third-wave (boys should be raised like girls; male characteristics are inferior) feminists on their heels, all-of-a-sudden doing a turnabout and maintaining their brand of feminism doesn't try to pull men down (it does).
Here's The New York Times story on it.
Woodley's comments hopefully reflect a growing attitude among Gen Y women that Betty Friedan, not Gloria Steinem (third wave), was right. Friedan, a mother of boys, always maintained that women and men were both good and equal, just different.
