donna darko:
I'm an Asian American feminist.
AradhanaD:
I'm a dork who likes to read and write, no one special, just another internet persona amongst zillions of others. I'm also someone who 'became' a leftist off the netz... no seriously. I spent three hours a day reading voraciously about things that I was too embarrassed to ask people of "superior intellect" about. So when you think about the audience you are trying to 'reach' with your writing, hey - knowing my own 'progression' I know it's possible to change someones mind.
I am not that well-read. I try my best to keep things simple. I talk the way I write, I hope that makes my blog accessible.
I consider myself a socialist anti-racist feminist. The framework that I try to view things in is from bell hooks idea of a 'white patriarchal capitalist supremacy'. However, as my interests often steer to third world issues, I realize that even this framework can be limiting as the people of non-euro-white countries face oppression not just from 'white supremacy' but global imperialism AND class oppression/religious oppression in their homelands. I am both fictitious and factual... I.e. Sometimes I am an e-character, sometimes I am myself... I may or may not exist just like most internet personas...

I reserve the right to delete/not publish comments at will, hey - truth be told maybe i just don't like you - I don't really care. I blog here for me, not for anyone else and I'm not really blogging for an online virtual community either, so if your comment isn't published - sorry, too bad. [I am not speaking about posts written by my co-bloggers].
In addition, I'm 'borrowing' these fabulous examples of comment policies (yes, I'm not clever enough to come up with them and I'm lazy) - check them out:

As a white, baby-boom era male(with all the inherent privileges), living below the poverty line, I, too, am pleased to get an inquisitive look when I call myself a socialist anti-racist feminist. I need to remain teachable in all three areas, and more, and I appreciate your candor.
From what I have read of you - you are definitely a very cool person in my books!
I appreciate your honesty and genuine heartfelt writing Kenn!
I'm honoured :)
phew! your policy is awesome - thanks Richie!
Pleasure's mine. Thanks for blogrolling me, too.
