 Dave: Kim Stanley-Robinson-"2312" Diversity of sexuality.
+FRED: Once femininism is introduced into Utopia it ramifies out to other needs and demands, like oppressed minorities, affecting the whole society. Cf Engels "condition of women expresses condition of the whole society."
+Sam: Charlotte Perkins Gilman's HERLAND uptopia. Women reproduced their own kind.
+RG summarized Anna's WIKI piece on collective childrearing. Anthropological contribution and archiological evidence.
+David cited two books (please fill in, David) from a Marxist viewpoint. Lisa Vogal (?) and social reproduction theory. KS Robinson comes from a sort of neo-malthusian perspective projected into future. He is utopian, not distopian -- refreshing and inspiring. Distopia pushing people back into escapism.
+MOSCOW back again !!!! Scandal in Western countries. Different internationally. Women need rights as citizens. Basic rights of 20th century needed NOW. Christian and Muslims both repress women. Monks write public school state school texts on family life. Women in Iran make revolution by removing their veils and defying religious taboo. Women's lib comes with liberation of whole working class.
+David: Netflix series of imagined history of gang in Manchester.  Peekee Blinders.'Jesse Eden a real person organized women in a huge general strike around 1933, active Communist, tenants organizer etc  Dave will send her bio. Progressive messages in series. Women working for gang walk out and join general strike, struggle for equal wages, abuse at work. Powerful. Popular culture today showing progressive examples, prefiguration (Ernst Bloch), even in corporate culture.
+Alexei: among these sources one by Meryl ???? why the armed Kurdish women fighting ISIS where women are bearers of civilization against barbarism, dispelling myths about womens' 'backwardness' fighting not for 'western' values but HUMAN values; building democratic society as SUBJECTS of liberation not formal liberation as in USSR.Would like someone to report on this here.
+David knows someone. Anna is studying this.
+FRED: Nextweek: violence, non-violence, and self-defense (Kurdish women)
