I'm not really a labels/ideology-type, overall, so I'm not sure what the right catchphrases and all are. Keep in mind my formal edumacation in this stuff is minimal and mostly a decade old. Julia could probably tell you more about the right labels for me than I could.
Some stuff about me and feminism, though: I tend to hang out a lot with Goddess Spirituality folks, when I'm looking for female empowerment and all like that.
Politically, I think it still makes sense to act like a minority --there are still "women's issues", and their still not being addressed right by the media nad the mainstream culture, and we still aren't there yet.
I'm philisophically in the school that says that feminism is ultimately about people's rights rather than some subset of people's rights, and I'm right out there with the postmodernist in being flexible about what defines a person as a woman. But on the other hand, I still see an incredible value in separatist -style womenspaces. I think we ultimately need to all come back together, but I don't think we're in a place culturally to do that yet.
Sorry if this is a bit incoherent. I've had a little monster all day today.
