i've been reading alice echols' cultural feminism: feminist capitalism and the anti-pornography movement, an essay linked in this post and contemplating the ground that movements ostensibly directed towards liberation inevitably cede to oppressive structures, in this case capitalism, but what interests me more is an essay cited by echols, namely the personal is not political enough by one elizabeth fox-genovese. now this is a piece i'm going to have to track down at some point, because it touches upon a phrase that has been rendered utterly meaningless by contemporary cultural feminism (i've clearly imbibed a bit of that essay into my vocabulary). besides that i'm quite curious as to why race isn't mentioned even in passing in echols' essay.
