Status: RO X-Status: X-Keywords: X-UID: 265 danny,just a quick clarification.....you say that you are a hard-core radical feminist.  from what i know about feminism, you probably aren't a radical feminist.  radical feminism emerged as a response to liberal feminism, which tried to obtain equality between men and women in job spheres, home spheres, etc.  it argues for a somewhat separatist notion of female, almost essentializing women.  women are inherently more compassionate, possess nurturing capacities distinct from men, draw power from sisterhood and solidarity.  it implicitly calls into question the need for men.  i would think of radical feminists to be andrea dwarkin and catherine mckinnon (all sex is rape, she argues).  On Nov 4, 2005, at 3:15 AM, Daniel Reeves wrote: Quick show of hands for your basic attitude towards feminism (and also I'm curious who all is reading along)? http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/dreeves/improvetheworld Don't forget to hit submit on the whiteboard.  If you don't know what that means, just read the poll at the link above and email me your (ideally one-word) response.
