The “Women’s March on Washington” is a misnomer. The correct name for the spectacle on Saturday, and a spectacle it was, should be “The Feminist March on Washington” or “The Liberal Women’s March on Washington.” The 1960s “women’s movement” wasn’t a women’s movement either. It was a feminist movement.

The distinction is crucial because the implication of a “women’s” march or a “women’s” movement is that all women think alike, or should think alike, and therefore become part of a sisterhood. Ergo, those who don’t join in are looked upon as backward or strange.
