    There are some female members of the club, Darius. I would prefer
    reading the debate than entering into the ring at this point, being
    a recently graduated geographer in search of a career, rather than
    a long term professional. IMHO, it would seem that feminist
    research (or research on topics related to women) are very useful
    in rounding out a discipline which studies human spatial movement.
    I am not enough of a "feminist" to focus purely on feminine
    subjects. (I am not big on the sub-field of woman's history
    either, so I am likely to be flamed by many women out there).

    Perhaps I was lucky enough to have tolerant parents and very
    strong feminine roll models that I have experienced no real sex
    discrimination, therefore have no cause to champion.

    I prefer the mainstream of Geography - it has enough to keep it
    going. My main problem is that in studying for my master's I
    became more broad in my interests instead of narrower. A real
    dilemma for continuing further schooling. So I must try to
    research a few article-length topics to get a focus before
    venturing further.
