Hi Kaldari, thanks for your note about the above. I don't know whether the copyright issue was ever sorted out completely. I don't entirely trust the version that's on the page. It wasn't written by a regular editor, none of the references have been checked, and it does seem a bit POV. However, to check it all would involve a lot of work. I've been tempted to reduce it back to a stub, but haven't because that would be a lot of material to remove, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed with it. ] <sup><font color="Purple">]</font></sup> 13:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Hi Kaldari, thanks for your note about the above.

:My impression is that the current version was written by an academic, probably someone in the Women's Studies department of a university, judging by the writing style and their talk page comments. Personally, I doubt it's plagarized just from their defense on the talk page. My experience is generally that copyvios don't get defended by their posters, much less discussed in depth. I agree, however, that it could use a bit of ]/] cleaning. And, of course, someone should try to verify the sources at some point. Maybe next time I'm at the library :) ] 16:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC) :My impression is that the current version was written by an academic, probably someone in the Women's Studies department of a university, judging by the writing style and their talk page comments.

My impression is that the current version was written by an academic, probably someone in the Women's Studies department of a university, judging by the writing style and their talk page comments. Personally, I doubt it's plagarized just from their defense on the talk page. My experience is generally that copyvios don't get defended by their posters, much less discussed in depth. I agree, however, that it could use a bit of POV/OR cleaning. And, of course, someone should try to verify the sources at some point. Maybe next time I'm at the library :) Kaldari 16:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
