![]() Of course, there is always the inevitable time in each course when I must address various feminist issues. It is just one of those topics, like civic engagement, and socialism, that I have limited knowledge of, little desire to focus on and that I do not feel qualified to analyse or debate. However, I make an explicit effort to avoid debates within feminist discourse, out of fear of saying the “wrong thing” I am not completely ignorant to the actual theories behind, and reasons for, such discourse, and I am in no way saying that it is unimportant. I consider myself to be a pretty open minded individual who is rarely afraid to challenge the status quo, develop odd theories, or discuss almost anything (no matter how taboo). There are all sorts of reasons for this, most of which I will not talk about in this post, but some of which will surely become evident as I move forward with my discussion of some of this week’s readings. It is time for another in-blog confession! I am a female academic, who knowingly takes advantages of all of the rights and benefits that the feminist movement has fought so hard for, but actively avoids dealing with feminist discourse. ![]()
