 With respect, I ask this in the hope of stimulating discussion:
Isn't it a fairly common thread of ecofeminism to feel that "the
fundamental problem of the human race" is first world (male-dominated/
male-style) exploitation of the third world and the planet in general?
Isn't lobbying congress just going to make them drop a batch of condoms
from a helicopter over third world countries they are actively grinding
into the dust? Put another way, isn't the solution going to involve a
major paradigm shift that can't really happen through lobbying existing
power structures?
