I haven't been around for awhile. Political overload? Not really sure . We get these dry spells I guess. Anyway. Finally managed to replace my copy of Women Healing Earth. Some random thoughts half way through the intro.
The attitudes of white upper middle class and upper class feminists seem to have a disconnect with working class white women and women of color. And especially their second and third world sisters. How does our import, long distance food economy affect third world women who can not get enough food for their families because the best farmland is growing export crops? How about access too clean water because water is being diverted to grow GMO crops that need more water and fertilizer? What is the effect on families of debt taken on to grow crops with seeds that can not be saved and shared? How many of these problems fly under the radar while we share a picture of the president with paper on his shoe?
