Demonstration patriarchy

Feel that we live in the post-feminist era? That "values" issues are somehow separated from gender-driven power relations and other pathologies of our society? Guess again...
  1. South Dakota bans abortion, insists on compulsory pregnancy for incest and rape victims; other states lined up, birth-control next target.

  2. I'd rather my daughter die than have sex -- it's control that matters (and/or denial!), not a woman's health or wellfare.

  3. Wingers think that "keep your legs shut" is a reasonable solution, even for married women, if they can't handle more children. Because this approach would of course have no consequences (for what marriage, exactly?!?).
At some point will the population at large begin to believe that women's rights groups haven't been exaggerating what's going on?
