Goodness knows, dear David, that you are an expert on things feminist; especially from your male privileged perspective. And yes, I am being sarcastic. 60 years of exposure to academia will not educate you nearly as much as 24 hours in a male dominated world as a 2nd class citizen. I am trying to say, politely, that you don't know squat about the benefits of the feminist movement. And I doubt that you are open-minded about it. An open mind is something I have yet to see you demonstrate. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Horowitz" <Dhorowitz@earthlink.net> To: <sixties-l@lists.village.virginia.edu> Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 3:23 PM Subject: Re: [sixties-l] New Movie on SDS > Bob Dylan yes.
