What is feminist answered Violet's way. :D
Dan Knightmare (knightmare4u) says:
Feminism is a relatively recent term for the politics of equal rights for women. It came into use in English only in the 1890s, and many languages do not have this noun at all. It is also a system of critique and has as its central focus the concept of patriarchy, which can be described as a system of male authority, which oppresses women through its social, political, and economic institutions. Feminism is therefore a critique of patriarchy, on the one hand, and an ideology committed to women's emancipation on the other. At the heart of feminist social and political analysis is the challenging of the public/private divide in politics, which has historically denied women access to the public political space and therefore representation of their interests. Starting from a point of unity—‘sisterhood is global’—feminism today is an ideology with many practitioners that have situated themselves on various theoretical intersections—Marxist feminists, anarchist feminists, radical feminists, liberal feminists. Feminism, however, is not only a critique or an extension of, traditional ideologies but has also made a significant contribution of its own in the field of theory and praxis. Feminist methodology, which arose from a tradition of ‘consciousness raising’ in the women's movement and by drawing upon women's subject experience to extend the boundaries of theory has, for example, found an important place in the field of methodological analysis. Issues such as race, sexuality, class, and ethnicity have served to disperse the idea of an essential ‘woman’ in which all women would recognize as themselves. Critiques of first- and second-wave Western feminism by black and Third World women, and lesbian groups, have introduced a diversity of approaches to appear within the feminist discourse. This tendency has been further reinforced by feminism's encounters with post-structuralism and post-modernism. Feminism today is not simply an ideology but a growing academic discipline. While this is making issues of gender accessible to women in education in a systematic way, its incorporation into academic curricula is also causing concern among many women who see the cutting edge of feminism—its political activism—being blunted in this process.

Dan Knightmare (knightmare4u) says:

Harold Kumar (hkdude) says:
Keep the skunk girl in the comic. Make her Violet's new friend or something. She's cool.
Pete Bagheera (bagheera) says:
So they both learned something new! :)
Oof, knightmare, that language is too complex this late in the evening. :) (*stifles a yawn* - off to bed with me)
E voyager (darke3_voyager) says:
my mind is shutting down. more in the morning. i love the way Page helped raise Violet. i'm sure this is her influence as much as her mothers.
Sean Chapman (angstskunk) says:
My criminologist teacher was of the liberal fem type (men =/= women) and she was pretty cool. Heh, she actually warned us about her beliefs and teaching style - though she got rid of a lot of myths about feminism (i.e., they're not all man-haters).
Greg (greg) says:
Shouldn't this strip be followed by a PSA saying you can learn about feminism, and many other subjects, at your local library?
Mittie Jane Katlin (mittenjanie) says:
Hey, a skunk girl. Like how she looks. Though her version of feminism is not helpful.
