Last weekend, Madeleine Albright condemned me to hell.

While she was speaking at a campaign event for Hillary Clinton, Albright delivered a grim warning to young female voters—who favor Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton almost 2:1—saying, "...There's a special place in Hell for women who don't support each other."

Soon after, when Gloria Steinem was asked why so many more young women are drawn to Sanders, she said, "When you're young, you're think 'Where are the boys?' The boys are with Bernie."

As a young feminist, this is incredibly disappointing. To have these feminist icons, both of whom I have long admired, disparage me for my new interest in politics and for choosing to vote for a candidate I agree with is nothing short of a huge step backwards for the feminist movement.

Corwyn Cullum, 23, weighed in, "Young feminists are trying to have their opinions and voices heard, and they want to matter. (Albright and Steinem) are condemning women for having voices and beliefs that contradict theirs, which goes against the very movement they represent."

"If you think it’s foolish of young women to not more broadly support Hillary Clinton, you don’t understand modern-day feminism," says Samantha, 29, the author of the "I Write About Feminism" Tumblr. "To today’s feminists... giving one of the most privileged and powerful women in the world even more privilege and power isn’t exactly at the top of our agenda, especially for a woman whose policies have contributed to the exploitation and oppression of marginalized communities."

As I've said before, feminism is a movement for equality. Feminism is not about shaming people into agreeing with you, or otherwise dictating who/what they should or should not be. Any feminism that tells me I'm not allowed to make my own informed decisions is not a feminism I will be a part of.

But that's the feminism Albright and Steinem have been espousing: a heteronormative, holier-than-thou, narrow caricature of the movement they helped ignite.

"Could it be that I want support a candidate who might support my needs once they are in a position of power? Could it be that I want to really analyze whether or not I agree with a candidate's politics, so I'm doing my research? Could it be that I feel it is my duty to be educated as a voter?" Hannah Crain, 22, said in response to Steinem. "No, I probably just got involved to meet a nice fellow so we can pop out some mini-Democrats to further the species."

Exactly. And no thank you.
