Chris writes: "As a member of a group in which two women appeared to be oppressing another with imposed moral assumptions I reacted defensively to protect the oppressed party. It is right to apologise on a group's behalf if one sees oppression occurring. It is protective and nurturing. I intend to nurture all oppressed women until the tide turns." Just who do you think you are Mr King? Two feminists disagreed with a third female's point of view on the list and you came in like a big daddy to interfere in the matter and apologised on my behalf (something which you had no right to do)? Firstly, I am sure Teri is well able to argue any matter for herself. Secondly, you are muddying the waters of reason by justifying your patriarchal actions based on *your ideas* (your version of what happened is not truth Mr King - you are not God but you may think you are). Your *protective nurturing* stifles debate and is patriarchial and mentally abusive to those whose bad luck happens to bring them into your sites.
