Talk:Women's Brigade of Weather Underground

Untitled
You noted that Angela Davis worked in conjunction with the Brigade on a bombing. What other actions if any did the Black Panther's participate in with the Women's Brigade of Weather Underground?Elizabethgaye22 (talk)

Sorry for the confusion. I'll change the wording to make the sentence less confusing soon. Actually, if you were to click on the hyper-link to Angela Davis' Wiki page, it explains her role with the Black Panther much more in detail. The Brigade's bombing was in solidarity with Davis who was arrested for having owned a shotgun that was used during an escape attempt by George Jackson. She was charged as an accomplice to the crimes committed that day in August 1970. Angela Davis did not work in conjunction with the Brigade. (Sherlockhemlock (talk) 06:16, 4 March 2009 (UTC))

Connecting Harvard and Vietnam War
Can you discuss further why Harvard was chosen for their ties to the Vietnam War? What did they do to put them at the top of the Women's Brigade list?Elizabethgaye22 (talk) 21:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

According to Harvard Crimson (the University's student paper), “Many students believed there was a direct relationship between Harvard as an institution, and the Pentagon and White House,” stated Timothy P. McCarthy ’93, a lecturer in History and Literature who teaches a class on protest literature. See the article here: http://www.thecrimson.com/printerfriendly.aspx?ref=522612 Also, Harvard's ROTC program angered anti-war activists who considered the program as the University's nod of approval and direct support of the Vietnam War.

I added more info on Harvard under Notes' heading. (Sherlockhemlock (talk) 08:17, 13 March 2009 (UTC))

Six Sisters
Was there a conflict of interest between the Women's Brigade and WUO since their beliefs didn't seemed to mesh well? (Thegreatbuckeyes (talk) 16:23, 17 March 2009 (UTC))

Bias and Sensationalism
I believe that this article is somewhat biased. There were certainly monogamous relationships in the weather underground, even if monogamy was looked down upon as counter revolutionary. the wording of parts of the first paragraph such as " All female members were required to have sex with all male members, and women also had sexual relations with other women, as monogamous relationships were considered "counterrevolutionary."" seems sensationalized to me.
