I have a question about "ecofeminism" in general. In a paper posted on the internet by Nancy Paterson at gopher://echonyc.com/00/Cul/Cyber/paterson Paterson refers to "the association of the feminine with 'nature' advocated by eco-feminists and theorists such as Camille Paglia" (I've also seen this intimated in Carolyn Merchant's criticism of ecofeminism). My understanding is that ecofeminism asserts that this **historical** linking of woman/nature was a 'tool' of patriarchal capitalism to oppress both women and nature. Aren't ecofems saying "hey! women aren't more *natural* than men"?? Aren't we trying to break free of this dichotomy? thanks for your info- shawn davis grad student, Southern Oregon University >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Dec 9 13:55:08 1997 by mizar.usc.edu (8.8.8/8.8.8/usc) Date: Tue, 9 Dec 97 12:55:01 PST From: Gloria Orenstein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Requital 2000/1: population/biodiversity In-Reply-To: Your message of Fri, 5 Dec 1997 13:49:52 +1200 Dear Chris, Do you really have a CD?
