Paglia is a feminist.  But does every individual feminist constitute a distinct "form" or movement within feminism?  What I object to is (1) your providing only one citation for one kind of feminism, and no citations for the "other" kind, and (2) you label the other kind "mainstream" feminism as if all "mainstream" feminists think the same way, and are homogenous.  They are not.  There are debates within every feminist organization.  I can see the sense in saying "feminists argue over whether this equality can or cannot be achieved through special legislation" - then you are characterizing a debate.  But in this debate both "sides" want men and women to be equal.    |
