If a group (us) has a common definition of "feminist" - well that's exactly what vernacular is. We can speak of feminists within those terms and have an understanding. And this thread has already unfolded in ways that don't fit your stereotypical political polemicism. 'Tis a bit more nuanced my friend.

quote:I've not seen one offered and this thread is inconsistent as hell. For instance, you said "most feminism up to and including The Feminist Mystique [sic] (60s-70s)" which is not very useful in that two decades is not a particularly useful demarcation, there was stuff being produced even then which was "social and anthropological," and the stuff on either side is hardly a unified voice, there are feminists on either side I can think of that you would likely want to push back and forth. I'm especially unsure why you would want to include The Feminine Mystique in your personal canon since it's like the ur-text in pushing the boundaries of feminism beyond simple legal equality (there's an entire chapter devoted to how 1950s-style consumerism reinforces the patriarchy, for instance).
