engendering equality

6. You're not alone

I also have trouble with the idea of "connecting" with all women just because of gender. For one thing, Ann Coulter is a woman. Michelle Bachmann is a woman. Melissa Farley is a woman. The only thing I can see connecting with these women is my spit. I don't think this is an attempt by me to ingratiate myself with a majority or gain acceptance- it's pure disgust with their patriarchal cheerleading.

I can connect with them, in a way, as fellow human beings but not in any other way. Certainly not in acceptance of them as part of a sisterhood- we share nothing but genital configuration and that's not enough for me.
