>How do you define ecofeminism?
Women or feminists interested in the ecology, from a woman's perspective,
of course.
Or feminism?
Feminism is the body of thought that women by and large are equal to men
allowing of cousre for differences in individuals. While there will never
br exact equality in all things between any persons or groups, we should
all be equal before the law and in terms of rights.
>Do you not think the personal is political?
Pardon me but thats the stuff that sounds like bafflegab. Do you mean that
persons have rights? If so, sure.

And just who are you a man to say or suggest what I am.

One of the places I am coming from is the idea that were all equal, and we
should treat our planet sensibly.

I joined awhile back and just read stuff for awhile and then replied to
something about a meat free Christmas or something that just seemed kind of
funny or silly, so...

Those are nosy questions I think. I also think feminist areas like this one
should be one of those places where women can go and chat without males
around. There may really be something to the idea that there is a special
link between feminism and the enviroment but we won't find out with guys
lurking about. But the very presence of men can interfere with tone or
ambience or whatever you call it. It inhibits frank speaking sometimes and
well, it can just be inhibiting. One of the things I wonder about is why
your here all the time. Isn't this a womans place or supposed to be? Don't
get me wrong because I like men in their place of course, but is that place
in places like this. (I know all that sounds confusing or jumbled but you
know what I mean.
