Feminism in Russia

 * ... that in spite of the official Soviet ideology of gender equality, feminism continues to be a dirty word for women in Russia?


 * I don't think you have a source for your comment that it has negative connotations. I'm not sure we should have a POV on whether the anti-Putin demos were/are revolutionary or not, and if we do it needs citing. I'd be happier with more Russian sources - it just feels western POVy.

 * "CGS members interpreted distrust toward feminists as deriving from Russian history, which has made women activist avoid identifying themselves with feminism. As Maria Grigoriyevna pointed out, 'I think feminism has been a kind of a swear word here since the 19th century...'" – that's a direct quote from the source that I cite. Also, I'd be happy to include Russian sources, but I'm pretty sure that the average reader of English Wikipedia won't be able to read them. Should I also include some Japanese sources? What about Indian? Would that make it less "Western POVy"? (Sorry, couldn't resist the snarky slippery slope argument, but really, c'mon!) Accedie  talk to me  04:43, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
