This is a joke, right?
"Ideologically pure"? Feminism is a very diverse discipline and
there is no "orthodox" feminism, nor is there a feminist
clearing-house that gives anyone a stamp of approval. (There are certain
schools of feminist thought that sort of "endorse" certain folks. But
it's not organized.) "Allowed" to be hired? I think you're talking
about the Freemasons, and we all know they exclude women.
