Xena, thanks so much for this response to Straughan.
  I recently was reading posts on a TedX talk by a woman who clearly doesn't get feminism.  
          This TedX speaker was feeding the feminist haters club and Karen Straughan's name was brought up several times in the follow-up replies.  I'd never heard of her and listened to a video of her....arghhhhh   ..it was so frustrating/maddening and this really made me appreciate finding XenaAmazon.  
Thank you much Xena...keep it comin'.  You so get it and it worries me how popular the feminist-haters groups have become.  I recently read a wonderful article in WMC WOMEN UNDER SEIGE 
 online and wanted to share it.   I can't get enough of these smart writings. 
  I'm living in Florida and find it very stressful after living most of my 79 years in Baltimore, a diverse city I love.  
Hope you find this as interesting as I did if you haven't already read it. 
  Also, I've been involved with a pretty decent group called Humanists of the Treasure Coast and gave a talk on a new terrific book by Jack Holland, an Irish writer called " A Brief History of Misogyny, The World's Oldest Prejudice" and I highly recommend it to women and men.    patricia winchild
