The author raises several problems intrinsic to feminist discourse which have serious repercussions for female academics - for their work, career advancements, and collegial relationships. The argument isolates the question of "networking" as exacerbating rather than solving these problems, as such a system effectively excludes independent scholars and avoids any concerted advocacy for the part-time and sessional instructor within the institution. As women have been '’outsiders" in a phallocrtic institution (historically and culturally) networking marginalizes women from other women. In relating rhetoric to reality the author argues that the philosophical basis for feminism has always been " gynocentric" in nature and that while it empowers women ideologically it has serious practical implications.
