(What am I talking about .. there are also the Christian sites.) Anything can be done badly but that doesn't mean we should consider the entire endeavor to be shit. Anyway it probably is time to question conventional feminist positions in light of societal changes. My lot is being swept out by the next and everything has to be rethought again. But I hope they do mind the baby.
True, but part of the problem is that they aren't trying to fix their own problems; they seem to be denying that they have any problems while behaving like mirror images of the Christian fundamentalists they hate so much. The people who were banned because they stepped ever-so-slightly out of line question them a bit, but it's never been well enough organized to really get them to notice. Maybe, if you could get enough of these people together and get them to talk rationally and reasonably about their complaints and get them into the larger picture thing, there could be a legitimate place for them.
