The devil and God are components of a Siamese twin. Neither has any existence apart from the other. In denying the existence of the one, Christians have helped to kill the other. If there need to be no fear of hell, people may well ask what is the attraction of heaven? Gods and devils were born together. Gods and devils will die together.

Jessica Valenti of Feministing has an excellent interview in Salon, and has also written a book on contemporary feminism. I hope it does well! It's probably very polite — I'll let you know after I finish reading it.

Does this mean that even feminism can't compare itself with feminism any more?

I've spent a little time reading and commenting on Feministing. There mostly wonderfully intelligent people, and therefore discussions, held there. However, there are moments when the site has made me very frustrated, because I want so badly to identify as a feminist. The problem I've run into, stated vaguely, is that a lot of the regulars there mix third and second-wave feminism at their convenience, then mix in some relativism whenever it feels good, but back off from it when necessary. It's even evident in the interview. There's also a strange obsession with crappy, mysogist advertisements - posts which are largely correct in their critiques, but seem like a terrible use of time and energy.
Anyways, despite that summary of my gripes, I'm certainly cheering Jessica on and I'll be eagar to read her book.
