A friend of mine sent out an email to a bunch of people, possibly for further use in a project:
"what does the phrase "feminist haunted house" mean to you? what do you want it to mean? what are you afraid it might mean? etc."
I said: "everything? everywhere? you know how it seems, both in movies and sometimes in reality, like everything is built on a slave/indian/colonial burial ground or potter's yard? like if you could just dig under any building, you'd find all this ignored/forgotten-about death it was built on? and possibly in digging would release, for good or ill, a lot of rage/sadness about that death? well, i suppose most theoretical digging eventually leads you to the body of some feminist idea or person. i'm not sure if that's the point at which the haunting starts or stops. but i'm pretty sure Susan B. Anthony is lurking in your house, scaring your cats.*"
Anyone else?
*Because, as everyone knows, animals are highly sensitive to paranormal activities of all kinds. Especially feminist ones.
