Feminism asks that women be free to define themselves -- instead of having their identity defined for them, time and again, by their culture and their men.
More Quotes from Susan Faludi:

Bush's, just imagery-wise, allows people to feel that -- particularly men, to feel that something was handed down from father to son, that there is a legacy. And similarly with Gore, who's father was senator, and similarly with someone like John McCain, who just wrote a book on his father.
