Date: Thu, 17 Jul 1997 00:21:54 -0400 From: "Tamara A. Turner" <tturner-AT-halcyon.com> Subject: M-FEM: Double standard, etc. Dear Matt: First, this is a MARXIST FEMINIST list, and by that, I assume the list is for discussion among Marxist feminists. If you are not a Marxist feminist, then YES, of course you disagree with me. Second, your response to my depiction of how socialist feminist men can make a contribution to the woman question, i.e., by standing up for feminist issues EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT WOMEN, seems to upset you. You wonder "how personally am I to take this?" That, Matt, is something only you can figure out. Third, you respond to your disagreement with me by calling me a "Trotskyist sectarian". IMHO, when people begin to substitute invective for argument, to call names--that is an announcement that they have nothing further to offer, that they have no respect for argument, that they have gotten themselves in a situation that is so unbearable their only recourse is to stamp their feet and swear--and all the other forms of attempted intimidation, bullying, etc. No thanks, Matt. --Tamara
