Flanagan is no 1950s throwback[edit]

Flanagan's attitude toward feminism and working women is far more nuanced than this article suggests. She raises some uncomfortable questions about some of the less than desirable effects feminism might have had on women's lives (such as the hook up culture of modern universities), but she does not idolize the 1950s or suggest we should turn back the clock. It is just this refusal to reduce complicated issues to simplistic positions (working women good, housewives bad) that drives her most virulent critics crazy. 76.68.39.169 (talk) 03:01, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree completely. Please go ahead and do something about it. --Paularblaster (talk) 15:47, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For starters, have removed the MSN reference. The MSN article was un-encyclopedic and pretty offensive. --Bagration1944 (talk) 18:26, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New sources?[edit]

The article has been tagged with a neutrality dispute. In fact, although the sources cited are all bitterly anti-Flanagan, the article itself is pretty neutral (not to say bland), and really fails to convey the most relevant facts about the subject: she's very sharp, writes glorious prose, and says things that some people find so deeply offensive that they take issue with her the most immoderate terms. Rather than label this a "neutrality dispute" can we not just cite some coverage that is more balanced in tone? (If any is to be found - a google search suggests the internet will not be the place to find it ...). --Paularblaster (talk) 14:01, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
