<p>I started a thread over at the Harvard site entitled \"Women\'s Issues\" and I am startled by how few have expressed an interest in the either the Harvard President\'s statements or the dearth of tenured female professors there. I hope that it is a \"weekend thing\". I am surprised that such a thread gets more play here where you have women who are well represented in the university hierarchy. You would think that more people there would be concerned about these issues.
Anyway Congrats to Princeton for creating a more gender balanced campus. I hope Princeton sets an example for what women can do when given the opportunity to lead an elite institution.</p>
<p>summer's statements have already been beaten to death on the forums so you're a little late. and if you insist on typing like that, will you at least explain what it means.</p>
<p>Just a couple of points for the Capster:

radical feminists simply believe that men are the oppressors of women, a philosophy which i strongly support. how can you view things any other way? what was it 1990 before they let women in ivy club? if that isn't oppression i don't know what is.

The problem I have with radical feminism is that radical feminists often:
a) Take their views of women's oppression to extremes--to the point of characterizing men as oppressive when they often aren't.
b) Victimize women. Radical feminists have an unfortunate tendency to see oppression before they see anything else---I've noticed that in some historical accounts written from a feminist perspective, women's status as "victims" is emphasized to the point of making them appear helpless.
You called radical feminism a "philosophy," and it is one---it often seems that all of a feminist's information is sifted through a picture of the "oppressor" and the "oppressed," gender being the most common dividing line.
Call me naive, but I'd tend to think that many men are not oppressors and many women are not oppressed....
(And I can think of a few women who might not feel overly oppressed in missing out on an Ivy Club membership. ;))

radical feminists strongly believe that prostitution, pornography, and "pin up" calendars, for example, are morally objectionable as they exploit women for the benefit of man (both financially and sexually). i happen to agree.

I think a lot more people besides radical feminists dislike pornagraphy, etc.
Also--it seems to me that some among the more radical Left act in support of the porn stars/prostitutes themselves on the grounds that they have a right to "self-expression" and "free speech". It's interesting that radical feminists so closely ally themselves with the far Left if they really feel that passionately about the evils of porn....</p>
<p>Hear, hear, Kebree. You said it better than I ever could.</p>
<p>Hope you're having fun on the other side of the pond. :)</p>
