PS. hehehe, I loled at your feminist classifications. Radical and seperatists are traditionally the same, and stem from the second wave.
Okay, I will check a few things and then most likely comb ... |

Actually it is no coincidence, Crowley was very liberal in acknowledging his influences and there have been certain members excluded for saying so within Thelema.
Well, I will only say that I am ... |

I think you give too much credit to secondwave feminism, as it was the feminism that entrenched the universial notion of a woman. A woman who is black, working class, disabled, etc, but still essent ... |

I think they confuse the notion of idealism with the freedom you get once you realise there is not Reality reflected in language, but just languages' realities. It is a subversive, yet electrifying ... |

Subjectivity is also a construction, in true nar-nar post structualist fashion (for those who don't get it was a joke that PSs always have a way to deconstruct everything).
