You know, I just deleted my journal, and ended up undeleting it, and I'm glad I did, I really like reading your posts.

I'm an older feminist, I went to Evergreen, but a long time ago, and experienced that trouncing, but it wasn't horrible, back then. There were no women's studies classes, we put them together ourselves. But recently I was on a feminist board, and I ended up leaving because of being attacked, over and over, for being the mother of a son. By young, righteous women who just KNEW. It was awful, and did mute me. I do believe we need to fix things and that we can't do it as a tiny group, we have to educate people gently, in a way they can hear. People who are trounced stop listening, of course they do.

I'm in my 50s and so far there hasn't been a time where anything I've ever been dead sure about isn't eventually having to be re-examined.

I'm glad your back, I noticed your deleted journal and was wondering where you'd got to. I am sad to hear some young "feminist" giving you crap about raising a son, where are the new breed of men going to come from if not us?

I keep hoping that as I get older I'll learn more about how to communicate with people, move them with inspiration rather than a desperate need to get away from me!

P.S. Don't delete your journal again, it's yours and your history and it deserves to be shared!
