Could she have something there? Insufficient experience with the thread, I'd say. Karen

Hi JC, I wasn't sure what your point was in your post, actually. But about this: So, the special problem is how a woman disassociates from the radicals. You could argue that as a matter of principle this should not be necessary and is therefore not worthy of addressing ... but do you want principle or do you want the White House? </I. I've been a proud feminist since the early seventies, nearly thirty years now, and haven't seen hide nor hair of a 'radicalist" faction in probably fifteen years. By "radical" I mean predominantly lesbian separatists. This doesn't mean they don't exist (and if they do I'm thinking it would be on college campuses and in rarified places like Berkeley. To me, the radical feminists are marginalized, like radical anythings, and have no bearing in a discussion of a woman in the White House. I missed your wife's comments! I'd enjoy seeing her more often. About this: Related is a comment Ms. J.C. made last night about this thread: "Do you notice how the women never challenge each other, but the men do it all the time?" I've always been fascinated by gender differences, particularly in communication. I can't speak for anyone else here, but I have PM relationships with a number of people (some of whom are on the opposite side of the political spectrum) and tend to try and address ideological differences with them privately.
