Ah sam--those Feminist Epistomologists! What a great name!
Yesterday on your advice I spent a long time ( well it wasn't that long-just felt like it) aquainting myself with their point of view. Although I can see the attraction of some of their ideas about the nature of the aquisition of knowledge and I feel that language is often used unthinkingly and far too glibly, I am having problems accepting the artificial constructs that I feel are the result of much of this particular philosophy. This is evident in the quotation above. We are all, regardless of gender, even if we are male, 'enmeshed in social relations... etc'.
Broadening the origin and application of this quotation to include all would be a nice idea though, so I think I am, after all, agreeing with your last sentence.
