I don't know the direct answer to your question about other feminist lists
with a socialist perspective, but I _would_ like to say that what you call
the theoretical/academic approach of this list is really not a result of
any charter or policy, but rather -- I would say -- of a saddening 
non-participation by most of the list's subscribers.  Perhaps it's a vicious
circle, but it would be very excellent to somehow see it broken.  Why can't
the theoretical/academic coexists and interact with all kinds of other 
approaches?   I would say, in fact, that if it doesn't, its value is pretty
dubious.
