Re: Effects of patriarchy and the right to gaze (Re: [Fwd: Re: de-tenuring of Mary Daly (fwd)])

This is an allusion to an exchange on the feminist economists list
that Katha was part of. Some participants deemed it inappropriate and
insulting to deny the existence of witchcraft or to criticize wicca
as a religion. Katha's other instances - CFS, repressed memory, etc.
- were also covered in that exchange.
