"Originated in a Very Different Time"

"But not all feminists see the international working class as their target audience. In the year since the Women's March, they've focused on exactly what Bustamante and the IWS organizers find to be inadequate—elevating the visibility and power of women in business, in the media, and in politics. Given the number of those who rallied with IWS last year compared with the massive turnout around the Womens March even in its second and smaller year, it's reasonable to guess the feminist politics of IWS are still in the minority, even after the flash of radicalism we've seen in recent years."
