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.

Doug
