[soc.feminism] A little confused ...

JPR1@ns.cc.lehigh.EDU ("James P. Reynolds") (06/14/91)

[Everyone: This question comes up every now and then.  What I thought
I would do this time is invite everyone to contribute to what will
eventually be an essay explaining the various positions, conflicts,
and ambiguities.  When this is done, it could then be mailed out to
those asking this question, and it could be considered as, oh, I don't
know, like a basic background knowledge that everyone here could be
assumed to have (perhaps a monthly posting).  What do you think?  Send
comments in to feminism-request@ncar.ucar.edu...or post if you have
substantial comments and references to make.  Thanks muchly, --CTM]

I have seen references here to several different branches of feminist
thinking.

What's radical feminism as opposed to cultural feminism or liberal
feminism?  (if anyone can clue me in in brief)

By the way, if you REALLY want someone to tear apart, read Nietzsche's
essay "Of Old and Young Women" from _Thus Spake Zarathustra_.  I'm a
big fan of his in general but don't think I'll vouch for that old
woman's line at the end!
Bye.
