vandana shiva

[andy <snyder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

vandana shiva is a friend of a friend, and a really nice person.
and her work does contain interesting ideas, radical perspectives
from an unusual perspective. i disagree with an earlier post which
claimed that she doesn't reinforce tired gender stereotypes. like
many (not all) ecofeminists she is an essentialist, seeing feminine
"nurturing" energy in opposition to masculinity.
she is helping my friend to set up an alternative skool in india. it
is always nice to know that some theoreticians actually interact with
the world.
