A fine summation of everything I would have said myself. Sadly, she will likely become a strawman in many-an-argument against feminism. Sex-selective abortions are symptoms of a larger issue; if there is to be outrage over it, people should be consistent with their outrage.

memories are not tangible and as i said foetuses do possess them as far as i know |
memories are in theory a recollection of a specific sequence of neurons firing. Triggering a memory is refiring all those same neurons. A foetus could, in theory have memory, but because their brains are growing at such an incalculable rate, they get lost in the traffic.

Just because you have the right to do something does not mean you have the right to not be judged for your choices.
She chose to abort her child because of it's gender and that choice make's her a complete and total cunt.

Those proclaimed to be feminist are more and more moving from seeking legitimate progress to privilege and slagging off men. And the more reasonable feminist are unwilling to critique any of the bull shit third wave feminist spout.

good point, they would have to be stored tangibly in some way, although i think there are still aspects to how this works that have to be analysed

Equalist = believing people should be judged by their character and not their genetics
feminism = believing women should have all the rights of men (and then some)
Feminist had a chance to prove they were an equality movement when the issue of child custody became big in the 80's and they sided with women retaining their preferential treatment.

There's no such thing as "THEY". feminism is about equality for both genders. if someone isn't trying to get equality, said person is not being a feminist.
