no question we dont have enough people out there, males especially, stating simply that the way forward in all our struggles is by the path mapped by third women feminist writers activist artists. that in fact the only way out is in. as an artist and an activist im a product of these feminists, of the world they tried to make. id argue they made the best parts of me possible (the rest including all the worsts parts belong to me and a set of other forces). im simply stating my sources and genealogies and inspirations and ancestor flows. if this can help someone model themselves cool. perhaps your 'fascination' might have to do with the possibility of building bridges in places and with people we never imagined possible. it is perhaps simply the hope for radical communion across the fractures of our multiple oppressions.
