Feminist author: Abortion is anathema to authentic feminism, deviation from women's movement's origins

One of modern feminism's central tenets – abortion as empowerment – symbolizes failure rather than progress in the women's movement, author Erika Bachiochi suggests in a new book.

#MeToo, Harvey Weinstein and the objectifying influence of rampant pornography are all evidence to Bachiochi that feminists, while thinking they're equalizing power, have encouraged some of the worst aspects of male exploitation.  Men, not women, she suggests, are the true benefactors of dismantling sexual norms. And ignoring the very real differences between the two has handicapped women's flourishing in an increasingly male world.
