Let me add my "me too" do the discussion.
I also started reading this group as a grad student. I laughed when Susan
said she mentioned the younger woman who don't get the point of feminisim,
and sooner or later see the light. I was one of those! Although, I'm still
not a feminist I understand more about the movement and its necessity. I
have enjoyed the lively debates that have followed any mention of the
topic and it is great to hear the experiences of other women who might
have not lead the same charmed life as myself.
On the other hand, when I was having a difficult time with my M.Sc.
supervisor, this group was essential in my realization that I'm not stupid
or different as this supervisor was in the habit of pointing out. It was
him with the problem, not me. I'm sure that without the support of this
group I would have called it quits long ago! Thanks to all!
I haven't posted much to this group because of the moderation. I have
typed numberous long replies to have them lost in the process. I just
don't have the time to waste typing, but I enjoy reading.
