Not so much the SM, I mean, as that whole weird *idea* that we can understand where a person is coming from without asking what dynamics have affected her.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and you might be interested in this post of mine:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://trinityva.livejournal.com/573624.html" REL="nofollow">http://trinityva.livejournal.com/573624.html</A><BR/><BR/>just because I (and B|L, there) have noticed the same exact shit wrt kink and class... can't all be a coincidence.Trinityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06846032433424879965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-33749997960097508322008-01-22T22:38:00.000-06:002008-01-22T22:38:00.000-06:00Well, you know, my own definition of feminism is e...Well, you know, my own definition of feminism is essentially humanism with a specific focus on gender. It's worth asking, though, if feminism is going to be a selective politics that is only about empowering certain people, then do we really need it? I think we do, because other social justice movements have neglected issues of gender, but it needs to be transformed in a big way.Plain(s)feministhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056404699624958898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20435429.post-170685672054115962008-01-22T22:23:00.000-06:002008-01-22T22:23:00.000-06:00"How do we define women's issues?" my definition ..."How do we define women's issues?" <BR/><BR/> my definition has always been "any issue that affects women is a 'women's issue'" that pretty much covers everything. <BR/><BR/> I've never really considered my self a feminist - I consider my self a 'humanist' and I want to empower everyone so that no one has to be "of privilege" or "Not Privilege" some day, so I may not be the one to ask for a definition of that.
