Looking at the Twitter feed, there is a lot of criticism towards A+ from women, and yes, feminists, too. ... The feminist issue is the Achilles heel of the whole A+ idea. Feminism has numerous strands that hold incompatible views - particularly in regards to sex positivity. The A+ claim that they c...
