I think my favourite part of any discussion like this is whose expected to think of these issues.

My prof in class the other day also argued that the woman's movement was a failure because we didn't have a majority of women politicians here in Magical Canada Land. "Why don't women vote for women?" he asked. When I said "Why don't men?" he got quite snippy with me and said men weren't anything to do with it.

(Then I was informed that lack of access to child care was an "excuse" for why women don't make it out to the polls, and told that women have cars, damn it. Because... all women are middle- to upper-class and have easy access to child care and aren't working more than one job, even though your chances of actually voting lessen depending on your economic status. I guess I shouldn't expect any better of a class that doesn't think the sexism in the Civil Rights movement is relevant, the racism in the feminist movement is relevant, the homophobia in either movement is relevant, and that the important voices in the fight for contraception are college-aged white men.)
