Thanks
for your note to FEMINIST.COM
and to be clear...I believe
that there is only one branch
of feminist. I think the divisions
of "power feminists" etc...
is a tool of those who oppose
feminists--to divide and conquer
as it were.
As for family....my take on
family is that it is what you
make of it. That means biologicaly
related or not. It's more a
sense of community than obligation.
I think that the family should
be a place of respect, not one
based on top down domination,
which in most cases means father,
mother, children. It should
be about individuality not gender
roles. My family is my mother
and my aunt--and then I have
a very big extended family (as
I call it)--of friends and other
mothers.
For some good books on parenting
from a feminist persective,
please see: The Politics
of Parenthood by Mary Frances
Berry. That should be a start.
