The San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women, which is the organization pushing this agenda, considers itself to be a liberal organization. The distinctions between liberal and conservative are mostly myth these days. The labels are more about rallying troops and garnering votes than any actual ideological split. In reality, both sides favor moral authoritarianism to protect people from themselves and a big powerful nanny state government.
As a classical liberal, I am offended by what most people consider to be liberal today, and by the people who think they can call themselves liberal. I think that it is this betrayal of the original liberal ideals that has made the very word into some kind of profanity.
