Someone may have mentioned this--I was off the list for two weeks--but there is a flyer/poster in circulation that has, at the top, in large capital letters. "I am not a feminist but...." It seems addressed to exactly the people this discussion is talking about. It then lists about seven propositions--such as "do you believe that women and men should be paid equally for equal work, and have equal opportunity on the job...." or "do you believe that a woman should control her own body..." etc. At the bottom of the flyer\poster the reader is told that if she/he believes in those ideas, she/he IS a feminist. This poster was in cirulation in the UC Davis history department for quite some time; I have not seen a copy recently. I think it would be effective in provoking thought among people who shy away from the feminist label, but who are in fact feminists. cliff hawkins
