I don't agree with her anti-feminist beliefs. I liked, however, what she said about going toe-to-toe with each man in her life instead of getting "political" about it; that makes sense to me, that we have to be feminists in our personal lives and deal with each individual individually. But "the personal is political" is another statement (not Joan's) I agree with; perhaps for her there is a bigger, starker divide between the personal and the political/public, since her experience of the two is so widely different than it is for someone like me, who has never been in the public eye. She's got a lot of wisdom, our Joan, so I try to remain open-minded to what she says, and think about it a while even if my internal jury remains out. But sometimes she is a little ... hm ... sometimes I just don't agree with her. It sounds to me as if she equates feminism with some radical, hostile, man-hating, man-imitating movement. Was feminism like that once upon a time? Some of it was. And perhaps Joni has lost interest in following feminism as it has changed from the sixties till now. Kate in Sask b?b 1b.b?b 1b.b?b 1b.
