Women and Lists Re: Solidarity & "Humanitarian" Imperialism (was Re: Yoshie's dearthoffemale contributors)

[Max Sawicky]

Please read the entire subject line. It tells a tale. We (marxism, lbo,
pen-l, and L-I) simply cannot keep a thread on women going. Humanitarian
Imperialism is a vital subject, and I've had much to say about it in the
past and will in the future. But I think the quick mutation into something
else of threads on women is a pretty good synecdoche for the status on the
left (in practice and theory) of the "woman question."

Is there some place where women keep such threads
going?  It doesn't seem to be FEMECON-L, which was
barely alive when I was last there.

There are probably various ways male behavior on
these lists could be improved, but I have to wonder
how relevant that is.

For instance, there's a list for african-economists.
It has almost no political discussion, and not much
traffic in general.  Mostly professional stuff and
a smattering of academic questions.

I have to think this all speaks to the narrow appeal
in the sort of politics or 'discourse' that goes on
here.  I happen to enjoy it myself, but I'm odd.
And so are most of you.
