We're just disagreeing.
I just checked in TT and saw the discussion of our combined-strategic-talking-points-united-front stuff and can tell you that that's just not the case. I am not an editor; I'm a writer. I am speaking entirely for myself in these posts. I have not conferred with my colleagues on what to say or how to say it.
I am simply answering your thoughts with thoughts of my own. It seems to me that the frustration (for you) is in the fact that my response is not "You're right!" And perhaps mine with you is that your response is not "You're right!"
But just because neither of us is getting the desired response doesn't mean that there's not a conversation taking place.
I don't know how many ways to tell you that I understand the complaints about the segregation. I do! I do! I write (in part) about women's issues and the feminist movement for a living. I promise I get it; I promise I've thought about it a lot. I just disagree with you about it.
