Return or re-run?

I find myself siding with Katz on this one, that we may be doing little more than commenting on "...how things have not changed". Let's see, how does that quote go... "the more things change the more they stay the same"? An unforunate but fitting commentary on feminism, methinks. So what has changed? Over the years, the antagonist has. During Susan B. Anthony's day, it was government and politics that wore the black hat in the showdown for suffrage. Then (skipping forward a decade or few) it was the "man" we fought to claim a place in the working world. Yes, we proved we could do more than wear short skirts, sharpen pencils and make coffee. Later, it was Jean Kilbourne and her team of crusaders, fighting against media's demeaning depictions of women. (Editor's note: If you don't know who Jean Kilbourne is, she's worth discovering. She's a "reformed" fashion model turned activist. Try finding the DVD 'Killing Us Softly'.) Now in 2008, the antagonist we fight is the hideous beast Vocabulary. What hasn't changed? That we're still fighting. We, like every other minority group and human being impacted by the use and power of language, are always... fighting... something. Granted, we've "come a long way, baby" (I sure hope it was a woman who first spoke those legendary words), but will the fight ever be over? Can it be won? I may speak for some percentage of grrrls when I declare to the world, "Call me Girl or call me Woman, but don't you dare call me the wrong one." Until we can collectively figure out which term's right and which one's wrong in which context on which day and in which of the four seasons written by which author implying which nuance, well... we'd best just keep fighting.
