Did Slate's collection of essays to inspire anyone to engage with the hoary question "Who Gets to Be a Feminist?"

I mean, anyone other than the women ? the writers were all women ? who wrote the essays.

I pointed you toward my essay here. Did you even go over there and read what I wrote? I know I got almost no visitors coming here from over there. Did you click back to page 1 of the 4 pages of essays and read through them all and spend time cogitating about what "feminist" means?

I'm seeing zero discussion of this essay collection elsewhere on the web. It got a few links, but not with any engagement in the question. I'm not sad about this, mind you. The lack of response kind of proved the point I made in my essay.

Talking about feminism is a sidetrack, and the women writers ? they're pretty much all women ? who occupy themselves writing about the meaning of feminism are willingly confining themselves to an echo chamber. Liberate yourselves!
