A Feminism With a Fuller View of Woman

I thought you two might be interested, for different reasons, in this article.

I'm always glad to hear St. Thomas referenced.

I think the last paragraph focused on an important point: the only way into Islamic society is through Muslim women; particularly the introduction of the Christian view of women as against the Islamic view of women.

Perhaps Islamic women can be "attacked" through the privacy of the internet.

De Solenni speaks of four kinds of feminism. I think you are referring to what she calls anti-essentialist feminism or deconstructivist feminism. I agree that the postmodern feminists are part of the Socialist program (whether they know it or not). I disagree that we should let the left continue to take over and change the meaning of words (look at what they've done to the word liberal). It's high time we told them "Enough!", took back the word feminism and returned it to its full glory.

I tend to agree with FITZ. The word feminism is so far removed from the correct understanding of femininity that it is probably beyond rehabilitation. Time to think of a new word.

Time to think of a new word.

Any suggestions?

This is probably the best tip I've received on the Free Republic. Thank you!

Thanks for the ping, ELS. I have read a few articles about Solenni, but nothing of any length. I would like to see her write a book.
