Does anyone else not follow this bit, btw?
'Many of the Mumsnet feminists I talked to said they had always been "feminists" but not "academic" ones ? as if a discussion of intersectionality and gender theory were the real ways to define themselves as believing in equality, rather than the way they chose to live their lives.'
I'm not entirely with it right now - does she mean she thinks we think gender theory is the 'real' way to define as a feminist and we're all nursing inferiority complexes when we say it's more about how we live our lives? Or what?
It is a really good article, I'm just puzzled by that bit. And sniggering over basil, of course.
