Where are we now, in public perception? Ecofem and deep ecology are being targeted and used in lawsuits (slapp suits) in the US by extractive industries. Timber in particular <http://www.superiorwild.org/> and gaining the ear of legislators and the general public in the United States. This counter-philosophy was used recently in Alaska against my efforts in a campaign to protect the temperate rainforest, "She's a work of the devil, an ecofeminist." The timber industry went on to say in print, "See for yourself that ecofeminism is a religion, a cult that has no part in public lands management." The editorial in the local paper and the local town's website listed Richard Twine's site. >From a media perspective I'm compelled to recommend Twine's website and encourage everyone on this list with an ecofem website to become part of the ecofem webring, at the very least. http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/8385/ecofemlinks2.html I can't help but feel notoriously guilty for not being public enough beyond my geographical region to make a difference in the status quo of public perception in general. Not in places as remote with so strong a capitalist bent and federal incentive. In places wanting capitalist theory to work from ground zero, ecofeminism is beyond comprehension. Women and children are less than, that's a given. Wildlife even more so. I wish we were more outspoken. /d
