I'm really glad that Jym posted his analysis of differing types of
feminism, as they are (in my opinion) central to understanding why
soc.feminism continually is the site of misunderstandings and ad
hominem attacks on "feminists" at large.  Certainly there are posters
here who will attack (or defend) any kind of feminism at the drop of a
post, but I also think that there is a lot of ignorance about the
history of feminism and the different philosophies of feminism which
make it easy to label all feminists with the same brush.

Ellen (who moves through every single position in the feminist rainbow
except that of the liberal feminist and doesn't plan to ever include
that in her repertoire :-)
