Why do people (who should know better, people on NPR even) say "women's movement" when it should be women's LIBERATION movement? Or, if you can't say that many words, how about one fairly short one, feminism? They will say "civil rights movement" and "gay rights" but "women's movement"
sounds like someone is having trouble with their bowels. Are we so unconsciously uncomfortable with the concept of women having rights? Or just unaware of what the movement was actually called...it's like saying you like women's magazines. Are we talking Ms. or Glamour? There's a huge difference!
