LoneEel rated 3 weeks ago- Love it. A run-down of the most prominent subdivisions within feminism that is much more direct and entertaining than surfing around on Wikipedia.

- I regard myself as a feminist, having claimed everything men claim from life, and having had to prove myself in a totally male working world. I was the only female in my workplace when I started out, and nearly 40 years later I am in a very large workplace where women are appallingly outnumbered and outranked by men -- for no other reason than an ingrained unconscious assumption that men do it better. Yes, women still have to work harder to overcome prejudice. Yes, the continuing servile status of women gets me hot. But Women's Studies -- wouldn't it kill you? zzzzzz Besides, the requirement to toe a particular line in any of its sub-genres is the kiss of death. ISMs are deadly. And the feminist bookstore I know here is like this. The atmosphere is suffocating.

- RADICAL FEMINISM I hate to break it to you, but contrary to popular belief, it takes more than a bad attitude, hairy armpits, or lack of a sense of humor to be a radical feminist. Read on... Part 1: Definition Radical feminism arose in the late 1960s as a political movement that identified the oppression of women, as a sex-based class or caste, as the most pernicious oppression of them all. The "radical" part came from its proponents' background in the student left, civil rights, and antiwar movements, and was coupled with "feminist" to formulate a radical approach to women's liberation. Radical feminists wanted not for women to share power with men but to abolish the notion of power itself--starting with the sex roles that establish power relations between genders. They led direct actions like the 1968 protest against the Miss America pageant and a sit-in at Ladies' Home Journal; held speakouts about once-unmentionable topics like abortion and rape; tackled the myth of the vaginal orgasm; questioned the nuclear family; and encouraged women to point out oppression wherever they saw it.

- I'm not a fan of Christina Hoff Sommers and other "post-feminists", but I do wish the author hadn't simply written them off. Apart from that, great article.

- "The "liberal" part refers not to today's muddled characterizations of Democrats, progressives, or granolas in general but rather to the 300-year-old political philosophy detailing the natural rights of "man": inalienable rights to government, property, the development of powers, and gratification of desire--in other words, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the right to vote and to shop. Today, liberal feminism is at work in the countless local, state, and federal bills that attempt to codify the seemingly no-duh stance that gender should not be a factor in education, employment, housing, or anything else.
