i have read some but i am not a woman so do not 'live' the prejudice, androcentricity, misogyny, that this entails. i could say that the same about feminism. my interest has been philosophical and in a sense it is the intellectual aspect, not the religious aspect i enjoy learning about. i have not enacted any particular buddhist practices. i have tried zazen, i have entertained searching conversations with some buddhist friends. My knowledge of buddhism has been almost entirely through reading.
this book is written from a modern, western, open sort of culture, not reactionary and conservative, or so i liked to believe until certain political happenings.
perhaps they rather claim to be post- but this is just indication of how that term now characterizes more 'militant' attitudes. i notice this book is older than any of the young women who serve me at this coffeehouse, none of whom will allow claims of being feminists. If you like this review i now have website: 230417: excellent work unifying, contrasting, mutually aiding, feminism and buddhism, in practice, in thought, in this very real world of patriarchal dominions.
