[edit] Mainstream
I think it's horribly problematic to refer to non-CHS style feminism as mainstream, as I also explained on the CHS talk page. Even if we could come up with a good definition of mainstream and figure out what varieties of feminism are really "mainstream," CHS specifically calls equity feminism "mainstream." If it seems important to you, I can find a citation for that. So even if labelling one of competing views as mainstream isn't inherently POV, in this case it comes down to taking sides in an ongoing debate that should be being represented somewhat objectively in this article. So I added the qualification "academic" before feminist theory, since she has a thing about academics being gender-oriented, so it would still be considered mainstream within academia, according to CHS, I think.
My use of "popular" before feminist movement may be wrong. I like the use of feminist movement over feminism, but I think adding the qualifier popular makes it sound more about beliefs of groups than a kind of objective feminism. But I'm not attached to the word if somebody thinks it's ill-chosen. NickelShoe 19:03, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

- Okay, I think this is better. I went back to mainstream feminist theory and feminist movement, because I think CHS would agree she's out of the mainstream there, but added a sentence about how she considers herself in the mainstream for the general female population of the US. Hopefully better? NickelShoe 17:37, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
