I didn't feel that way when I was reading it, but I could see how some older feminists could take it that way.

On the one hand, it seems like it was written for people like me who are younger and are just exploring feminism. On the other hand, I've heard that some older feminists feel alienated by Valenti, as if the third wave is dismissing their past accomplishments so that they can be the "cool" feminists. At the blog Shakesville, someone said, "feminists stop being cool the same age they stop bing f***able." Did you get the sense while you were reading that Valenti wasn't acknolwedging older feminists? I’ve been kind of on-and-off about whether to read this book.

"Want an operating system that doesn't constantly crash, get viruses, or eats up your wallet? How about one that's virtually unhackable, fully customizable, and noticeably improving every day? Ubuntu is for you! How about it?" Just spread out a book with one page of text on it.
