Whoever Wins, We Lose...

Protein Wisdom's Darleen Click on an interesting front that just opened up in the identity politics war:
Elisabeth Badinter, a leading French feminist, has warned the green movement is threatening decades of improvements in gender equality by forcing women to give up their jobs and become earth mothers.

Mrs Badinter claims a “holy reactionary alliance” of green politicians, breast-feeding militants, “back to nature” feminists and child psychologists is turning Frenchwomen into slaves to green “fads” like re-usable nappies and organic food.
It's amusing, but I'm afraid for me, it's another of those 'Can't they both lose?' scenarios...
