I presented my paper on a very quirky panel. It was comprised mostly of second wave feminists who were really uninterested in politics. My paper, which was a history of political thought paper, was actually the most political paper on the panel. That's almost certainly the first and last time that that will be the case! One of the other papers discussed the disparity between the amount of domestic violence aimed against men and the amount of domestic violence aimed against women. The impression that I had from her talk was that if we could just even out the domestic violence, things would be better. There was also a paper discussing a temporary sexual contract allowed within the Shia Muslim community. The author of this paper maintained that this could be either a way toward emancipation for women, or possibly could encourage prostitution.
