...nothing if not anti-feminist, because its very mission is based on restricting others’ decisions. Wagley assured RUS members that the club does not advocate legal restrictions on sexual behavior. In a recent blog entry, co-president Leo J. Keliher ’10 stated a similar point. But if TLR truly has no interest in political advocacy, then why would Wagley state in a question-and-answer session with the Institute of Politics that TLR was one of several “social policy initiatives” with which she was involved? Why would the club post...
...through conferences on her magnum opus, The Second Sex. Her encyclopedic letters to Sartre shaped his thought on existentialism, while her fiction earned global acclaim. And away from the public eye, headstrong Simone hid a surprisingly tender woman. To her beloved in Chicago, the anti-chauvinist crusader sent adoring letters that sometimes smacked of anti-feminist submission. And Beauvoir always kept her body to herself: she hid her hair under a turban, her legs in flowing mismatched skirts, her aging chest in collared blouses.

They, along with the baskets of dental dams next to the push-pins at the Women’s Center, the stay-at-home-or-work debate, and the final club problem, are perennial favorites in the inter-feminist and anti-feminist conversation. The institutions are relatively innocuous compared to the implications made by the arguments, built precariously upon them, that often stand in for actual issues of substance. These imperfect scapegoats are, in many ways, an indication of the luxury feminists at Harvard enjoy: However snide and insidious is the sexism that feminists say they face...
...escape the view of a woman as a person who is supposed to submit to a man. I thought Harvard would be a more feminist-friendly place, but surprisingly, judging by the reaction to the new Women’s Center, I was wrong. Even women here are sometimes anti-feminist, which is strange...
