and dismissing such discussions or written articles as one of those fads (actually the latter view is heavily influenced by some males who downplay the role of women in society
glossing over pertinent write ups or articles which may contain important statements and shape the kind of feminism which we should uphold in our midst
hence the women who succumb to such influences act more out of fear of alienating "their" men than from any epistemological deduction).
Whenever we hear the words "women's liberation" some of us still cringe with fear of our teeth chatter in the disgust. We begin to think that those words will mean separating from the husbands (to those who are married), being disrespectful towards our fathers, walking around without bras (simply because some American media-men characterized women's liberation in their country as such) or simply expressing our sexual instincts, i.e., being able to respond freely to our biological needs with any macho that we meet. I believe that our own definition of women's liberation has been colored or distorted by the many varied articles and news we hear or read in local and western magazines. An offshoot of this is refusal on our part to contend with the genuine issues surrounding feminism or that movement which seeks to liberate women from social bondage. Thus our reaction has been in the forms of avoiding women who want to talk about or discuss feminism, or who practice feminist principles
