Arnhart clearly had a lot of fun writing this piece. He has done an impressive amount of research and brings considerable passion to his subject matter. I am happy to offer a few brief comments.

Feminism without ethics is inconceivable. Each feminist position makes contact with previous politico-ethical systems, sometimes extending, sometimes repudiating features of those systems. In this article, the author elaborates the relationship between feminism in its radical, liberal, Marxist or socialist, and ecological varieties and various political and ethical positions on some of the most highly charged issues of the day. Her aim is to show that feminism cannot escape exuding ethical assumptions and implications and that feminists can and should be held accountable for the stances their own positions either underwrite or repudiate. In this matter, at least, Jean-Jacques Rousseau was right when he insisted that "those who would separate politics from morals must fail to understand both."
