Womens Conference runs into rough seas of their own making

[Ken Burch]

244. That was my post.

And the sort of person I listed in the last paragraph of the post you responded to would fit that mold.

I wasn't saying that nobody in the feminist leadership today is doing anything worthwhile, just that that leadership is way to the right of what that document in 1977 was about.

Let me reframe the question(and again, I agree that Bernie should turn down the speaking slot, as any other man invited to give it should have done):

If the purpose of having this event is to reconnect to the heroic, radical spirit of the 1977 Conference-which speakers, in today's national feminist leadership, still back a program that has any real connection to what the 1977 Conference? What purpose would be served by putting someone whose message would be "stay the course, ask for as little as possible"?
