Subject: To Lizzy and Enrica -- Re: To Meg...Re: To Enrica...Re: Taslima Nasreen and her head


Lizzy -- Thanks for lumping in all the women activists who are fighting
for women's rights from here in Cambridge!  Nice touch!  :>...glad so
many women out there feel as you do about TN...we're all in the fight
together...however, this won't and shouldn't bring TN back out of
hiding...not very soon...even if she can escape to the west.

But Enrica -- it won't change a thing...women will fight among one
another and look for symbols as long as we maintain the patriarchy, east
or west.  Men know this...it's built into social structure, corporate
culture, into governments, into education...and men sit back and watch
the divisiveness they have engendered in us for milennia.

Wishing success to women struggling together.
