I argue that the continued focus on the possibility question - whether feminist logic can exist as a respectable practice - has several harmful consequences. First, it invites the association of feminist logic with substantial positions in the philosophy of logic, which unnecessarily leaves room for dismissing the field a priori. Second, it invites a systematic reading of feminist logicians as arguing in isolation from their logical practice, which can hide some genuine possibilities for the field. To avoid these issues, I propose a very broad characterization of feminist logic as a kind of practice which addresses some harmful aspect of dominant practices by focusing on their interaction with logical practices. This characterization trivializes the possibility question, enforces no particular conception of logic to the exclusion of others, yet leaves room for both conservative and radical approaches
