but it hasn't penetrated the consciousness of the American female It has penetrated all the females who seek it and they have the law and public opinion behind them. That's how I define success. If some individual females or even the majority of individual females don't want it, that's their choice. It's all about choice, not homogeneity. If we are expected to choose hero costumes rather than princess costumes, what have we won? "Doing their movements a great disservice" is what "they" always say when trying to put down a movement. Maybe "they" do but that doesn't mean that's what I'm doing. You're entitled to your opinion but you only speak for yourself I think I clearly said that it was my opinion. Twice in that post.

Cool concept - "Magisterium of the Specially Anointed" - I like it.

So what do you think of the Supreme Court pick? I'm sorry that Bush had to imply, by his picks, that the only capable woman he could find was Meirs (what a joke), and that barring her, he has to pick a guy. Of course I also favor a litmus test- and I would boot this guy if he thinks he is going to change Roe, just as I would boot off anyone who thought they would change the travel cases. I do not think it would be healthy to change either, and I don't have any qualms about litmus tests- and no one else does either, really, they just aren't honest about it. It's clear Bush has a very hard and fast test for his nominees, but he'd lie until he was blue in the face if you asked him directly about it. Go figure.

I thought of you when I read this blog post. You might find it interesting. Or not... <g> Message 21860007 A snippet: >>The bad news is that the Feminist Movement never realized that the mission had been mostly accomplished. The women who want to become professionals--or do anything for that matter--can do it--including becoming wives and mothers if they choose. The war is won, but the Feminist Movement continues to battle on, oblivious to that fact.<<
