Feminism, which is as misguided as any other wonderfully totalitarian
approach to systematic thought
JE:
Care to clarify?
Thank you, Judy. I'm not familiar at all with Muriel Rukeyser's poetry, but
I've known of and long had a saintly vision of her as a
spit-in-the-face-of-sexist-fascism liberal activist, somewhat along the
lines of St. Dorothy Day. So I was surprised to see feminism equated with
totalitarianism by David, but I thought I'd wait a while, read more of his
posts to see if he was being sardonic or what -- perhaps we just don't know
how to read him yet. But I think now that your approach is the better one:
clarification, please.
