27. living a feminist life:
•does not mean adopting a set of ideals or norms of conduct;
•although it might mean asking ethical questions about how to live
better in an unjust and unequal world (in a not-feminist and
antifeminist world);
•how to create relationships with others that are more equal;
•how to find ways to support those who are not supported or are
less supported by social systems;
•how to keep coming up against histories that have become
concrete, histories that have become as solid as walls.
