I'm kinda digging Reclusive Leftist right now. I'm sure there are plenty of things on which we'd disagree, but it looks like we have similar views of what feminism should be about (and used to be about).
For example, this post explains that wanting women to be equals has always been the defining quality of feminism. That we may disagree with what constitutes equality is simply good for debate. I can accept that definition of feminism, by which most women would consider themselves feminists. They may disagree about abortion, family leave, comparable worth, gay marriage or any number of issues, but that doesn't make some women more feminist than others.
I also liked this post which debunks a lot of the myths about Sarah Palin's views on comparable worth, global warming, abortion, contraception and homosexuality. These snippets didn't make the Katie Couric interview because they didn't paint Palin as a dingbat.
Looks like an interesting site so far.
