i wouldn't argue that Brownmiller is a historian and she IS a "polemicist" for the radical feminist cause. neither, to my knowledge, has anyone in academia ever doubted her SOURCES, even when (like ME) they disagree violently with her conclusions. AGAINST OUR WILL, Men, Women & Rape, to my knowledge has NEVER beeen sucessfully attacked on the HONESTY of its facts, but rather on Brownmiller's CONCLUSIONS from those FACTS.

the quote, (NOT that you'll accept it as a source!) is from the Public School Teacher's Guide to her book.

as i said to your "buddy", "JSU&TI", you wouldn't believe ANY source, that PROVES that the DAMNyankees were the remorseless WAR CRIMINALS that MANY of them manifestly were. ANY SOURCE!

the TRUTH is that your mind is made up & anything, from any source, that DISAGREES with your obvious, UNthinking, PREJUDICE is "dismissed out of hand". FACT!

LOL! A Public School Teacher's Guide to "Against Our Will"? Yeah, right. What grade level of public school is that for? Got a publisher? Got a year? It's not in her bibliography. Wonder why.

Oh, this is rich, coming from you. You're the king of rejecting any source that might disturb your absolutist "north all bad, south all good" worldview.

So what did you think of Brownmiller's account of the Willie Green case? Was he guilty or not? Why does she reject Green's wife's account and accept the white victim's? Does Brownmiller's overall thesis effect her version of the facts of the case? What about her statement that, had Emmett Till not been tortured and murdered, he would have raped a white woman? What about Brownmiller's contention that all armies, at all times, habitually rape? You're a former soldier, I understand. Did you rape any women? Did the US Army in Vietnam conduct a widespread program of rape in order to dominate the women? Brownmiller says they did. Her only exception to this "all armies rape" rule is the Viet Cong, in fact.
