What I read today on WIkipedia

Mar 22, 2007 21:51

Today was an interesting day in the reading of Wikipedia. I am going to list all of the articles that I read today, maybe you'll see something interesting and go learn about it.

Concsiousness raising, Radical Feminism, Steven Golberg, Sari, Salwar Kameez, Burqa, Niquab, Purdah, Chador, Dupatta, Punjabi, Headscarf, Dhoti, Gender Differences, Sexual Dimorphism, Testosterone Poisoning, Feminazi, Andrea Dworkin, WKKK, Sex-positive Feminism, Identity Politics, Methodological individualism, Structural Functionalism, Collectivism, Holism, Gender feminism, Psychological trauma, Machismo, Misandry, Idividualist feminism, Wendy McElroy, Classical definition of effeminancy, Love Shyness, Masculism, Patriarchy, Consumerism, Hedonism, Hedonism Resorts, Stoicism, Epicureanism, Institution, Materialism, Physicalism, Monism, Atomism, Unhappy consciousness, Master-slave dialectic, and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel .

Somewhere in there, I also read The Myth of the Vaginal Orgasm by Anne Koedt, and Backstabbers by Laura Miller, which is an article about the book Woman's Inhumanity to Woman by feminist Phylis Chesler, but neither of those was on Wikipedia.

The links presented here were posted in reverse chronological order of me reading them, with the last being read posted first and the very first article read being posted last. I jumped between subjects when one terminated or lost my interest. The very first entry read was when I looked up the term Hegelian, which came from one of Antonio Uridales's recent Notes on Facebook. From there I learned so many interesting things, if only to a superficial level, yet I must say that my existence has been enriched by having gained even that amount of knowledge. It has caused me to reflect on certain viewpoints that I hold and reconsider my viewpoints in the past. I'm not really any more sure on some of my most important questions, but some information and ideas on some other very important issues to me has been elucidated.

I think the articles I spent the most time on, had the most interest in, and spawned the most links to other subject I was interested in were those of Patriarchy and Misandry.

How about you, gentle reader? Have you come across any of these topics recently? Did any catch your eye? Did any repulse you? I am curious as to your thoughts.
