Comments on: Discomfort and its Proposed Benefits: Regarding Feminist Philosophy http://unpopulardissent.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/discomfort/ The political and social musings of a pissed-off metalhead. Fri, 20 Feb 2009 21:57:29 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Dollface http://unpopulardissent.wordpress.com/2008/09/30/discomfort/#comment-30 Dollface Mon, 10 Nov 2008 06:40:47 +0000 http://unpopulardissent.wordpress.com/?p=53#comment-30 Really interesting post. As a girl in a feminist theory class at the moment I have this advice: if you want to speak in class, please do! There are a few guys in my feminist theory class and they never speak up. Now, it may be because they aren't comfortable speaking in class, or it could be because of the same apprehension you experience. I know personally I am interested in hearing people's thoughts about feminism, regardless of gender. I think one of the crippling problems with the feminist movement is its "women only" stereotype. Sure, as a male you can't walk in our shoes. However, if you are compassionate and thoughtful on the topic of women's issues, there is no reason you can't be a positive contributor in a women's studies class (or in society).
