I can't agree with the sentiment "Everything feminists have fought for in terms of improving girls' educational opportunities and women's employment is now in potential jeopardy." In one sense, everything has _always_ been in potential jeopardy so this is no big change. But isn't "affirmative action" a rather timid utopia? How could _that_ represent everything feminists have fought for? What about social justice and political power? And, what lessons might be learned from the passage of proposition 209? I also don't see a post-modernist analysis in Myra Strober's post, forwarded by maggie coleman. So I'm wondering whether maggie's p.s. was an aside or a non sequitur.
