Date: Sat, 24 May 1997 10:35:44 -0500 From: Doug Henwood <dhenwood-AT-panix.com> Subject: M-FEM: discourse Since I've retired from flaming, I can view the present events with Olympian detachment. I'd really like to have a place where we can discuss gender relations from a Marxian viewpoint. That will not happen if the usual gang of vanguardists and unaffiliated moralizers engage in their usual pronouncements and denunciations. I think a vigorous policy of suspensions and expulsions is the only way to guarantee a reasoned exchange. The sanctioned can whine about censorship, but this is not a state; this is a collective of sorts trying to hold a conversation, and the only way we can hold it is if people who make hideous noises are shown the exit.
