Who Cares? A Feminist Critique of the Care Economy We live in an increasingly uncaring world. Patriarchal capitalism offers rich financial rewards
to those who pursue their individual self-interest and penalizes those committed to the care of others. Competition is more highly valued than cooperation, and individual rights trump social obligation. Family and community life are treated as leisure activities......

The Timid and Intimidated Nature of the Pro-Abortion Movement Not only should abortion be legal but it also is well worth arguing that having children should be made illegal (as in a crime). Now here is a statement even most sleeping Americans would agree is a radical proposition (so radical in fact you almost never encounter it). And yet it is a very practical and sane proposition, even to its extreme, logical outcome, that is allowing our very own human species to become extinguished (as in extinct). After all the ecological system of this world doesn...

Occupy Oakland: The Assault on Patriarchy Continues At the GA on Sunday, 1/27, approximately 90% of those in attendance
expressed an interest in continuing a discussion on the harmful practices
of patriarchy at the GA next Sunday, 2/3. I take this to mean that we
don’t want these problems to be neglected any longer. Several agenda items
have been suggested for this work, and we hope others will critique this
list and contribute items of their own. Here are some agenda offerings:...
