I despair sometimes about the feminism. Took an intro to women's studies class a few years back that was titled "Women's Issues" (fortunately the prof, who had taken the class over from someone else, succeeded the next year in getting it retitled, yay), and the first day we were sent out into the halls to ask people what they thought about feminism, who feminists were, etc. Not one person owned up to being a feminist. Most people's free-association went something like: "hairy...lesbians...in the 70s...hate men", but one person who looked legitimately confused and finally said, "someone who doesn't like women?" Good grief, I thought, where are the rest of us? Certainly I'm not the last feminist, even in NH...
please count me in
