>>Say what you will about Charles Manson, he really empowered women to pursue excellence in traditionally male-dominated fields. From armed robbery to sadistic murder at knifepoint, he put women in positions from which they had been traditionally excluded
Uh, no.
Angela Davis was a straw purchaser for the murderous crimes of the Black Panthers Maoist black nationalist hate group.
Bernardine Dohrn celebrated the Manson killings taking it to the capitalist pigs and even feasting on their foods.
Manson trafficked in women, used them to get want he wanted (access, lodging, money, etc.).
That comment is supposed to be deeply sarcastic.
