Actually, you did Sweetie. I made this thread to seperate your claims about women in politics and social equality from the abortion thread, but because you had no ability to back up your claims of supposed equality and political same-footing, you constantly and pointlessly drew the issue back to abortion.
You've made your bed, now sleep in it. See VM's post about your comments and "anti-lifers".

*twitches* Sorry Godfry, just a bone to pick: "Self-Actualisation" didn't enter the vocabulary of feminism (or anything else, for that matter) until the 70s Human Potential Movement. And just as a random aside: I really fucking hate the concept, and more often than not, actual psychological philosophies of "self-actualisation" have run counter to feminism, since it reduces social problems to individual ones and therefore removes the possibility for wider political and social change. I just prefer to use the term
female autonomy, since it's the real cornerstone phrase that has constantly been used since feminism first formed properly in the 1800s, and doesn't have so much, er, pop-psychology baggage attached to it. Many may argue that they're the same thing, but I don't.
Dunno if you've got me ignored or not... but I figure I may as well point it out anyway...
