ohhh grrrl. i wanted to discuss feminism and the veil with you. i'm kind of exhausted now but i hope you will discourse upon it at greater length. western feminism has a great deal to answer for. still, when i see pix of the women of RAWA being beaten by taliban thugs for -- whatever, for not wearing the veil, for learning to read and write -- i have to think that they're being beaten for not doing something that is rotten and fascist to the core. and, i'm very interested in the frenchies' args on headscarves in the state schools. finally, i do very much understand that there are many many points on which white people of good will should STFU. and the Ms feminists are just such an one.
