What does feminism mean and what are you fighting about?

Perhaps, it's just me, but I'm not entirely sure what feminism means at this point, or perhaps, more to the point, what older and younger feminists are arguing about. Was there a feminist argument against Clinton? Was their a feminist argument against Obama? What specifically are you arguing about?
Finally, I'd love to know why the level of discourse became so vituperative during the campaign. There clearly is/was a great deal of animus here. Why? Where does it come from? Why would it be generational?
I've been reading posts from this section for the last two weeks or so. I think the issue is far more serious than many are willing to believe, and I am fascinated by the apparent lack of interest on the winning side in developing talking points to try to reconcile with those who were on the losing side. I'm not sure the Obama people actually want to reconcile with the Clinton people. It doesn't sound like it anyway.
