Is This the First Feminist President?
Change of Heart
(Fox News) - When then President-elect Obama was naming his Cabinet in December, many feminist groups were upset over their perceived lack of representation. It seems that anger has dissipated and those women's groups are now claiming Mr. Obama is the first "feminist president". Cybercast News reports the president of the group Feminist Majority — Eleanor Smeal — said Monday that when she met Mr. Obama "he immediately offered, 'I am a feminist.'"
She also handed out a special inaugural issue of her organization's magazine — which created artwork of President Obama wearing a T-shirt that reads, "This is what a feminist looks like."
Feminist author Christina Page says, "week one of Obama’s administration, we thought maybe we should start packing our things, because our whole agenda is going to get done by the end of the month."
