Here's another article--love the title


Feminism is no longer a dirty word

The face of feminism, Gloria Steinem, turns 80 on Tuesday
Carol Costello says feminism is popular with young women, who reject stereotypes
Rush Limbaugh railed against Sandra Fluke, but his jibes cut little weight with many, she says
Young women see the value in speaking out against gender bias, she says

The "Face of Feminism" turns 80 Tuesday, and guess what? Feminism seems to be turning the corner -- again. Many young women are now embracing the term and rejecting the notion that feminists are hairy, ugly, man-hating, angry women.
Heck, even Beyonce appeared on the cover of Steinem's magazine, Ms., last year.
