your work

Cleaning up the Natasha Richardson article, I saw your handiwork, well done. I'm glad to see someone pays attention to The Handmaid's Tale (one of my favorite books). Just wanted you to know that not all of us Americans are clueless about the rest of the world, just some of us:) Cornell Rockey 20:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean never to be released? Trapped for all eternity in an endless MR office? Or did you come across dynamite research/opinion? I once did a survey, erm... helped cause a lot of problems as most of the entries were faked. -- max rspct leave a message 13:59, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

jimbo

hmmm, i clicked on the 'what links here' box and no user pages showed. sorry.

i do realize it's a parody, as you can see from my comments on the 'user trusts jimbo' category. i actually posted that template to jimbo's user page (using a sock) just to see if he'd remove it, which he did. at any rate, sorry you weren't informed ... for whatever reason no one was listed as using it at the time of posting. i still think both templates & categories should go; though i am considerably more offended by the brown-nosing ones.

Sydney, hmmm. I'm thinking about taking a job at ANU, but I keep reading unhappy things about Canberra ... "soulless", "boring", "lifeless", etc. Is it really as dull as all that? I'm quite enjoying being single in San Francisco, so that kind of talk makes me nervous. Can you reasonably escape to Sydney on the weekends, or is the traffic hell? Derex, not a fuckhead seppo (I think). Derex 14:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking for an opinion

Hello Anna: I write articles about sculptors and am about to do a couple on some women sculptors - and - do you think [or feel] that it is necessary for me to include the fact that they were lesbians? In some ways it seems gratuitus but in other ways it seems that "outing" them is appropriate, [most of them were pretty Out as it was], that it is nothing to hide or avoid. Or, is it nobody's business? I am emailing my daughter too and am pretty comfortable letting you two decide for me [the coward's way out] Of course if you two don't agree . . . . . . . ..................

HI

I'm fabrixio form south-america, i put that about individualist feminism because here in latin america and also in in Europe, there are very anarcha-feminists that are also individualists feminists. She not only put the enfassis in gender issues but in the individualists perpective of anarchism. There are many groups and anarcha-feminists with this kind of thinking and also disscussions about it.

But something is clear they are anti-capitalists.

I think wikipedia not should speaks only about U.S issues but all world. It colukd be something cultural but U.S is not the entyre world.

-excuse my english--200.69.166.68 03:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is in Spanish, a lot of articles about anarcha-feminism [1] Mujeres Creativas

[2] Feminismo o Individualismo (Feminism or Individualism ¿?)

If this is enough for you, please try to explain in that article that individualist feminism in the rest of the world is nearest from Voltairine De Cleyre than to Wendy McElroy. In other words they are anarchists and not capitalists in any way.

If you want to write to me: fabricio_tedel@yahoo.es or to the blog: http://www.insurrezzion.blogspot.com

I sincerely apologize.

We're making a fuss over such trivial details in the picture that I thought fingernail color was a funny thing to bring up. I honestly don't know anything about nail color and thought I would good-naturedly suggest you weigh in on the matter. I thought you wanted to participate in the humorous discussion and didn't want you to feel like we were ignoring you. Regardless of my intentions, if you were offended I am sorry. Please let me know if you would like me to remove that section of my comments directed at you. Lawyer2b 03:33, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:PistolPower

User:PistolPower put this message on your talk page today, explaining[3] later that it was supposed to be an in-joke. In case you disagree with this characterization, please let me know. Thanks, --MarkSweep (call me collect) 21:35, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I explained here, (which has now been cleansed from his talk page), I don't know PistolPower at all and he is not invited to email me privately. AnAn 02:34, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Emma Goldman...

I said several times that she is indentified as a anarchist communist. It even says it on her page. She was deported under the palmer raids for being a communist. This is not a pov term. Also the section is reserved for American communists I should have noted that. Anyways thanks for your concern.

Feminism

Since you mentioned before that you were frustrated with the "ifeminist project to diss all other feminisms", you might want to check out the discussion I'm trying to start here at Feminism. I don't know whether you watch that article, so I thought I'd let you know that this was an issue here in case it matters to you. Catamorphism 03:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Its not like lesbian anarchists regularly go onto the white pride page and demand that neo-fascism be described with their sensibilities in mind." A normal human male visiting wikipedia and asking that an article such as Radical Feminism be modified is hardly in the same realm as you visiting a white pride page. By using such a ludicrous anallogy, you only make yourself seem completely unreasonable and unwilling to engage in free thought. Hiding behind a veil of "libertarianism" while spouting anti-male slogans makes you as much, if not more, of a "proto-fascist" than those you attempt to expose as such. You can tell me to fuck off if you like but it doesn't change the fact that I'm right. Easter rising 16:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What, my dear, will change the fact of your poor anargumentative technique?? AnAn 06:18, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Freedom of movement

Hey Anna. I'm aiming to get Freedom of movement (a fascinating and important topic) up to featured article status by summer. Anything you can add - even if just a sentence or an inkling of information - would be appreciated (particularly from the AU perspective). Cheers! bd2412 T 00:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jura Books

thanks for the heads up. I have added a little to the article. The Fanya Baron Library was formed at a meeting during the anarchist conference in Sydney in Jan 1975. I was one of the attendees who formed the Fanya Baron Library. --Takver 09:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SCUM Manifesto

I see you are interested in the page, but do you agree with the actual manifesto? I read about half of it before giving up. It had some good ideas, but was far too extreme on some issues. Just wondering. The Ungovernable Force 08:48, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Parachute Pants

Golly, judging by the recent contributions to your talk page, parachute pants must be at the far back of your mind. However, you encouraged a negative-sounding contributor to make it right in Feb 06 (without contributing content on your own, I might add: pbbbt!!!;). That bastard didn't do anything positive, nor did anyone else much. I did some editing to this on my own recently, it's somewhat silly, but the parachute pants article has had a "casually significant" revision. Glance at it, and send me feedback if you care to.

Someone trying to hijack WikiProject Gender Studies...

An anonymous user has edited Wikipedia:WikiProject_Gender_Studies and has edited its aims so that it reads (the following quote is taken from the talk page):

* Correct articles where the term 'gender' is overused, used incorrectly, or used pejoratively to pander to (what Christina Hoff-Sommers, Wendy McElroy and other more moderate feminists call) a "gender-feminist" POV.
Correct articles where the term "gender" is used (without reference to NPOV dictionaries and other NPOV sources) to replace the term 'sex' as a ploy to pander to "gender"-feminist POV. Correct the usages so that the proper definition is used without regard to UNTESTED and often invalid 'gender theories', so distinctions can be made between 'gender' and 'sex', and so that the usage reflects some sort of NPOV take on a highly loaded term. Just because some widely criticized academic fields have used totalitarian tactics to force 'gender' and censor the usage of 'sex', in US humanities programs is no indication of the validity of this politically-loaded term. Consult NPOV sources such as dictionaries, opponents of "gender"-feminists and NPOV mass media sources to balance 'gender' POV with 'sex' POV.

Correct articles where the term 'gender' is being used gynocentrically as a front for 'oppression'-feminist political, legal or cultural power plays. For example, in feminism (Status) there is no mention that for the male 'gender', military mortality is 98% compared to 2% for the female 'gender' (in Iraq)...but other forms of far less serious female "gender" oppression are implicated (covertly and most disengenously) as having something to do with the gender "oppression" of women. This kind of blatant, gynocentric "gender" bias is no less POV than the other forms listed here.

Said user has further edited the talk page suggesting that (the following quote is taken from the talk page):

I suspect this project was created to pander to the points of view of misandric, gender-ginning, 'patriarchal oppression' feminists (please see Women's studies, misandry and feminism ) who use the term 'gender' as a cunning, covert, and blatantly gynocentric weapon of war. Many other more moderate feminists and non-feminists have challenged these blatantly gynocentric, and often misandric "gender feminist" ideologies. I insist on a non-sexist, non-'genderist', non-reverse sexist project...otherwise this project is just the usual type of cunning totalitarian tactic we see so much in other politically correct channels. To revert the above content just because none of the orginal authors of this project page like it is a POV stunt to have ones cake and eat it too. I am going to reinsert the content. I insist that before it is reverted again good NPOV reasons be provided. My aim here is some kind of GENUINE non-sexist, non-reverse sexist, and non-'genderist' NPOV...as may be shown well in Sexism (drop in editor) 00:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

The idea that the term gender (that is, the idea that at least some of the differences between the roles of men and women in society) is socially constructed, yet 'sex' (i.e. that any differences between men and women are essentially biological), at the very least, looks like misogyny|misoginist]] POV bias of the worst kind. Any assistance arguing against the point would be greatly appreciated.

Wikipedia Project Gender Studies

Hi AnAn, I'm asking a few Project gender studies members for opinions on a few changes to the project templates. The discussion is here. If you're interested have a look. I'd also like to have the project page unprotected so it could be editted to give due balance to the Gender Theory activities of the project as well as the removal of systemic bias activities - what are your opinions (discussed here)?--Cailil 18:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
