Summary table of major feminist goals in the United States

This table seems to be

original research. Unless someone can produce some sources the say that these particular goals are in fact the major feminist goals in the United States, I think the section should be deleted (or seriously reworked). At the very least, it is misleading, as it implies that there is a single, coherent set of objectives for all feminists in the US, which is very far from reality. Different forms of feminism have different goals. Rather than presenting such an over-simplified view, perhaps this information could be presented in prose with explanations about who, in particular, has campaigned for or supported each goal.

Hello everyone! I changed the introduction section of this article but have reversed those changes back to its original state. This time, I just added a few words to a sentence to get rid of the awkward phrasing, so instead of it saying "feminism has massive influences" I added "feminism has had a massive influence." Let me know if you agree or disagree to this change, thank you. CollegeFreshmen (talk) 00:08, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone! I just added a couple of sentences in the criticism section of this article introducing intersectionality because this section is referring to how women of color feel excluded from the movement and I wanted to touch base on this topic by introducing and later explaining everything that leads up to intersectionality so I just introduced the topic as a start. Please let me know what you think of my game plan for this section of the article, thank you.CollegeFreshmen (talk) 03:30, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone! I would like to contribute to the critique section of this article so this is my plan. Let me know what you think, thank you! I would like to transition from the third-wave feminist time period to modern feminism by adding examples of how women of color have either made progress or are still hindered from the feminism movement. I would also like to mention the concept of intersectionality and then address opposing views that come with it. 1. Intersectionality: I’ve already tried to start this but I would like to transition from black women being excluded to the history of intersectionality. I’ve already introduced how intersectionality was created. Now, I would like quickly give background information on how Crenshaw came up with the term, how it’s benefited women of color and address opposing opinions on the matter. 2. Opposing Views: There are some people who are against the idea of intersectionality and I would like to present those views. 3. Not Just Women of Color: I can’t just talk about black women, I’ll run out of things to say so when I’m done with analyzing intersectionality, I’d like to expand how exclusive the feminist movement is towards the LBGT community and Trans community.CollegeFreshmen (talk) 02:27, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

MeToo Movement Section

MeToo Movement Section Added a section about the MeToo movement Shiragriffith (talk) 23:46, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The TimesUp Now Movement

Added a section on the TimesUp Now Movement Shiragriffith (talk) 00:02, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Semitism in Feminism

Added a section about anti-Semitism in the movement for the Criticisms section Shiragriffith (talk) 03:02, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reformat

I reformatted my section on the MeToo and TimesUp Now movements to clearly show that they are each 21st-Century feminist movements. I also added a section on anti-Semitism in the criticisms section, as there has unfortunately been anti-Semitism in the feminist movement.Shiragriffith (talk) 03:14, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add a section on Christine Blasey Ford, since she is the 21st-Century version of Anita Hill. If anyone has any suggestions on where I should put her section, I would greatly appreciate it! Shiragriffith (talk) 20:55, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A section about Ford probably isn't appropriate in this article. See
WP:TOPIC. There is a BLP on Christine Blasey Ford as well as a major section about her in the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination article. Articles should be specific to their topic rather than containing digressions on other topics. Paisarepa (talk) 23:22, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply

Criticisms Section

Fixed things in the criticism section (gave the other part a subheading, fixed some spacing issues, and linked important terms) Shiragriffith (talk) 03:24, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I worry that the criticism section is now too large -- it is the largest section in the article and may give undue weight to the criticisms. See

WP:UNDUE. It could also use more reliable sources and the tone could be made more encyclopedic. I will probably pare this section down in the future if another editor doesn't want to jump on it first. Paisarepa (talk) 18:44, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply

This section reads more like a scholarly paper than an encyclopedia entry. For example, the Audre Lorde quote, while inspiring and properly sourced, doesn't specifically relate to the issue of diversity (or lack thereof) in feminist discourse. I want to remove the argumentative portions and unsourced claims, but I realize it'll be delicate going. Anyone have any thoughts on how to do this w/o starting an edit war?
