I hope it's understood that this has very little to do with feminism , as such.
It seems to be group of women with a politcial agenda who interpret feminism to serve their politics

If feminism were ever to come to full fruition, groups like this would become obsolete,and we would be talking about persons, not feminists or misogynists

Expecting Hillary to be a certain kind of woman (as in the linked criticism) is not an expression of feminism,. It's the oppostie.

Hillary, of course, is a politician and her choices are her own, as a person, not a feminist.

It's time they were prosecuted. They sure seem to make a lot of “mistakes” and get away with it.

I'm not familiar with this group and don't recall hearing from it during the Ohio primary.

Facing South has alot more about the dealings this group has been up to and the connections to the Clintons.
John Podesta on the board. They are involved with direct mailing for the Clinton campaign
Also, they have been active in disrupting voting in several states including Wisconsin, Ohio, ect.,
I'm posting a paragraph from Facing South about the connections to the Clinton campaign and a link to the site so people can read the several posts as the day unfolded and the post this morning.
This kind of stuff is pure Rovian.

But one of the most striking connections between WVWV and the Clinton campaign -- and one particularly relevant to a story involving what appear to be voter suppression efforts right before an election -- was pointed out to us by a reader. He notes that the firm in charge of voter outreach for WVWV is MSHC Partners, whose president is Hal Malchow. Sourcewatch.org reports that Malchow was a member of WVWV's leadership team.

At the same time, MSHC also does direct mail and outreach for the Hillary Clinton campaign. In fact, the campaign owes MSHC $807,000, according to Politico.com
