 You said exactly what I was thinking (I like your river analogy!) - even though I was one of the people who called Ortner outdated in class, I've thought about it some more and found that despite this, she's also a necessary part of the feminist/gender studies canon. Like you said, "we need to find a way to connect the past to the future". I'm still trying to think of concrete ideas of what that would entail.
