The equating of Feminist Theory with "Football Theory" or "Beer Theory" is ridiculous because it fails to demonstrate the so-called "Football" and "Beer" theories analysis and commentary of social perceptions and identities in the foundation of epistemological and cultural structures. How does "Football Theory" or "Beer Theory" comment?

Feminist epistemologists have developed their approaches to the situatedness of knowledge within three broad epistemological traditions: standpoint theory, postmodernism, and empiricism. Standpoint theory identifies one particular social situation as epistemically privileged. Postmodernism rejects claims of epistemic privilege, emphasizing instead the contingency and instability of the social identity of knowers, and consequently of their representations. Empiricism seeks standards, within a naturalized framework, for differentiating the circumstances in which situatedness generates error and in which it constitutes a resource that can be harnessed to advance knowledge. It advances a conception of objectivity constituted by critical and cooperative relations among a plurality of differently situated inquirers.

The new IAWM Journal provides a wonderful forum in which to report on the third Feminist Theory and Music Conference, held in June, 1995 at the University of California, Riverside. This meeting supports the adage that "good things come in threes." The first conference in 1991 was hosted at the University of Minnesota by Lydia Hamessley and Susan McClary, whose book, Feminine Endings, had just been published. More than twice the number of people than the organizers had anticipated were in attendance. The second conference, held at the Eastman School of Music in 1993, drew a larger attendance than had a number of national and international music conferences held that year.
