I can remember the exact moment when this came up. A grad student had been in talking to me, asking my views on "Gender and the Web." She was doing research for a paper, turning into the most ardent feminist/theorist in the department. And this feminist, by the way, is exactly the kind of phallocentric who believes in identity, believes that her textual view of the world is shared by all, that readers of this discourse cannot read in a more visual way, that they won't be able to associate backgrounds and placement on the screen with you or I as speakers, and that they'll got lost (what a wonderful term for our discussion of place!) in ambiguity. I am weary of such ardent, phallocentric ways. Nancy Replies
