98. :-) When it comes to women I characterize as "feminists" (very much with quotes), I'm completely serious about the vast majority of them never having actually DONE anything. They just talk, talk, talk as if they "deserve" to be listened to simply because they're talking. It's like bloggers, thinking that they're actually "influencing history" or "influencing public opinion" when all they're really doing is typing a few words into a computer, most of which are never read by anyone at all. Probably only a couple of dozen bloggers have any effect at all. When it comes to feminists (without quotes) I am spoiled because I got to work with and alongside many of them over the years. Real feminists don't whine. Real feminists don't have to come up with silly "manufactured outrage" battles to fight. On the whole, they're too busy trying to actually DO something with their own lives, and help others DO something with their own. I have ZERO respect for talkers. I have great respect for those who DO something. Nothing about Judy Stein convinces me she's ever done shit -- not in the world of spirituality, not in the world of business, and not in the world of politics. I think she's basically a blogger with an overinflated view of her audience. She rants to a very, very small "audience" here on FFL, *most* of whom don't even bother to read what she writes. And to her this is synonymous with "DOING something." To me it's a bunch of talk, talk, talk. A woman who quietly achieves her goals in life without making a big deal out of it has done more for feminist ideals than 10,000 women who rant and whine about the mistreatment of women. That one woman is providing an *example* of a woman DOING something, whereas the 10,000 are just talk, talk, talking. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" > > <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > <snip> > > > I don't agree that you and Raunchy (if that is > > > who this round is aimed at) don't do squat and > > > blame others for your not doing anything.
