As an anarchist I see autonomy as a good thing. The freedom to do with your own body. The problem with people like the women posting to this thread on A Room Of Our Own is that are Stalinist who want to dictate to others what they must do, hardly a liberationist position.

So true, Suzan…the inability for self assessment…self criticism has been the downfall of many, not just the radical feminists. (I was in SDS as well…it eventually got to us too). You write how it has always escaped you how those demanding autonomy are so short sighted, and I am with you. I will never understand the kind of elitist BS and horizontal discrimination some are capable of dishing out. I guess they must forget our own repression experiences, or else just strap those blinders on.

I grew up seeing racial horizontal bigotry…for anyone living in or near a big city it was unescapable. How does this cycle continue to perpetuate itself?? How do you break the cycle??
