Analyzes the ambivalence of most social scientists, who are more comfortable in analyzing & interpreting problems than in taking actions to solve them. Academic conferences & study, the media, the family, mainstream religion, & the state discourage people from acting. The university as an institution inspires decontextualization & intellectualization. The ambivalence of most social scientists about social change is due to the risk of making things worse & the socialization of consumerism. Activism is a way of testing the self, of opening to new discoveries of unknown strengths, vulnerabilities, virtures, & weaknesses. 2 References. L. Nguyen

Investigates the question of how feminists can transform the gendered features of society to facilitate less discrimination. Analysis of the feminist perspective identifies two problematic presuppositions of their struggle with discrimination. A review of the problems of gender contextualizes an ontology based on a structured social reality of social positions, internal relations, systems & collectivities, & social process. Gender is theorized by the components of distinction between individuals with sexual characteristics, & mechanisms of differentiation. The possibility for emancipatory practice is constrained by a focus on one version of the good society. The feminist neglect of ontology in favor of epistemology needs to co-development both theoretical arenas to advance substantial analysis. References. J. Harwell
