Hello everyone,        
         Although I have  been a lurker for over a year, I have never
felt an overwhelming desire to contribute until now.
I must admit that when the extremely long post came through
my first reaction was to *Delete*.  But giving the author the benefit
of the doubt, I began and getting caught up in the melodrama I 
read and read and read.  Taking breaks and returning, partly to 
find a point and partly I think for the same reason, I like Elaine Bobbett.

        This post should not have been, or could have been done 
differently or  or or.   

        But, there is a very real topic here and if  we don't focus on it
and get caught up in the politics of the vehicle we will be missing out.

        Green Village's are not ecofeminist societies.  No one went out
of their way to take patriarchy out of their society, except maybe 
lesbian communes.  And even they, I would imagine must struggle.
Do these places exist and if so how did they arrange their society differently?
And if they don't exist, how would we go about structuring a truly ecofeminist
society?  How do translate ecofeminism to female/male relationships?
