[Peace-discuss] Anti-lactating feminazis

[Karen Medina]

Scott,

I did not see abortion mentioned in Bambi's article. Did I miss it?

I do not fully understand Bambi's "Sex and the City" feminism reference. I've seen the show several times, and find it somewhat entertaining (4 women with varying perspectives on relationships, sexuality, and middle age); and somewhat offensive for several reasons not just as a female but also as a person who has lived in other countries and has had to deal with the perception that all people from the United States are like those that are portrayed on television.

There are good and bad ideas that are supported by people who consider themselves religious.

On an issue related to feminism, I am looking for a definition of feminism that goes beyond just gender. I know the feminist method has been used more broadly in research, but the dictionaries all seem to still relate it only to gender.

>It seemed to me that the article was claiming the breast-feeding movement for Christianity and the right. But NOT the "bad" Christianity that was upset about Janet's wardrobe malfunction. The other, "good", Christian right that stands up against the "bad" feminists who "slaughter babies on the 
alter of abortion". But NOT against the good feminists who, unlike the bad feminists, do not command control of their sexuality like men. The "bad" feminism archetyped, according to the writer, in "Sex in the City". (I believe it is actually "Sex AND the City", but nevermind).
