ETA: If there are so many versions of feminism, then why is it that university women's studies departments tend to be filled with people who are more along the lines of "feminazi" (which is a term that I was told not to use in high school)? I usually got the cold "that's nice, dear" kind of comment from professors from that department or from courses that tend to be more "feminist" in view. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I don't know.. perhaps because they are the most "commited" they are the ones that are willing to apply themselves to become a professor.... but then again it could simply be an educational trend, much like Marxist interpretations of History (judging everything as a product of class struggle
) or the re-interpretation of historical personages with our modern perceptions of sexual diversity? Who really knows...
I think the reason the Star is focusing on Jack and Olivia is because of their past visibilty in Toronto politics, they are familar to the writers and they have a lot of background material to work with.
