I remember a copy of Ms Magazine while I was - in college, I think? With Gloria Steinem, bell hooks, Urvashi Vaid, and maybe one other women on the cover, and they cover tag "Feminists Don't Agree about everything - who says they have to?"
And I wondered, who said they did to begin with? (Then I started analyzing the relative position of each of the women on the cover to one another and what that MEANT. Remember, college student.)
As my friend Kendra said to me one time "Everyone has their own politics." Our opinions rarely mesh 100% with any given "party line" (and I tend to be suspicious of those who do, it implies to me a lack of free thinking.)
