Subject: Faludi article


OK, this post isn't all that germaine to FRENCH Feminism, but it is to
feminims.  I was browsing the women2women website and found a discussion
of Faludi's LA Times (i think) op-ed piece on the presidential sex
scandals and the difference between girl power (defined as immature and
politically powerless) vs. the 'power' of adult women.  The essay seems
concerned largely with the question of women and emotional maturity. I'm
including the link because this might a topic that could get us going
again on this list.  It seems to me (without a whole cup of coffee in my
system yet) that there are possibilites for looking at this question in
light of both Kristeva's and Irigaray's works/categories, and besides I
thought it was rhetorically a very interesting piece.  A little cultural
critical fun anyone??

merely an opposite of the masculine,
but something in itself; 
the feminine human being.
