12/4: euripides a proto-feminist?

Was Euripides a proto-feminist? Who knows. It may not even make sense to ask the question in those terms. But some people claim that he was on the basis of the Medea, and other people vigorously deny that he was on the basis of the same play. We discussed the issue in Myth class today, and though we didn't have tons of time to hash it out (thrash it out?), people said good, smart, cogent things to support both sides.
