I share your hesitation. Up to recently, I also avoided commenting about
feminist theory and research. However, now, under influence of talking with
Debra Hicks, I start coming to a conclusion that maybe our male silence is a
part of problem. By not discussing and referring feminist theory and
research we, male academicians, may undesirably exclude feminists approaches
from a legitimate academic discourse.
What do you think?
