March 4, 2005:

Sexism as moral corruption. The impossible destructiveness of all's fair in love and war. This is part of the story of our lives, I think. "Men and women are different species."

Cultural Feminism: the problematic of pre-feminist patriarchy viewed from the subjective point of view of female solidarity. The stereotypes of patriarchal ideology are all correct: the point is to fight the war from a position of power.

Pathetic.

This ideology is reprehensible, it's corrupt, it's stupid, it's beneath the dignity of the people who embrace it. Women are not from Venus, men are not from Mars. Women and men are both from earth. This is the promise and the point of feminism: that liberation belongs to all people.
