Carol Li, a second-year law student who had studied under MacKinnon at the University of Chicago where MacKinnon served as a visiting professor, praised her as an iconic figure in feminist legal theory man-bashing.

Interesting to perennial Sophomores majoring in "Women's Studies" or "Critical Studies". To anyone else this woman is a staggering bore.

[MacKinnon acknowledged that her speech was intended to provoke thought]



In the same way that a bird craps on your windshield in order to provoke you into washing your car?

Feminist decries war on women

Softwarecreator decries war on men.

Film at 11.

Can't we all just get along?

[She stressed, however, that the war on women is by no means a metaphor.]




Darn. I was wrong twice.

"championed the prohibition of pornography"

I've never understood thei feminist contradiction-does a woman own her own her own body, to do with as she pleases, or not?

Incidents similar to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks are occurring every day in the United States and around the world...

Vintage McKinnon. Words have only the meaning she intends them to have, else this claim would be hooted off the stage for the nonsensical hyperbole that it most certainly is. Does she mean that women are being killed by men in flaming buildings that have been hit by hijacked jetliners? No, she means "similar." Well, how similar?

It turns out to be not very. The "war" she is describing is largely a collection of her own prejudices hammered out in hallowed cliches that have become canon in Gender Studies departments and tragicomedy in the minds of those thinking men and women unfortunate enough to encounter them in the field. It is a 9/11 that is not a 9/11 that describes a war that is not a war...and this tripe is taken seriously?

It does, however, function as a justification for a very real war that she intends to conduct to counter the imaginary one. This is, and has been, dangerous and destructive doctrine. Intelligent adults can laugh at it - when it works its way into primary and secondary education the children cannot. McKinnon has every intention of conducting her war on boys, not on men, and there are disturbing signs of success.

[Just like terrorist attacks, acts of violence against women are carefully planned, targeted at civilians and driven by ideology. Gang rape, pornography and other acts that humiliate and repress women are methodically organized; the targeted victims are essentially all civilians; and the misogynist attitude is as ideological as Islamic fundamentalism, MacKinnon contended. “The number of people who died at [the terrorists’] hands is the same as the number of women who die at men’s hands-every year,” she said. “9/11 happens in this very country every year.” ]




She gets SO CLOSE to understanding but doesn't QUITE reach it before she veers away.

"...the overarching message presented by leading feminist Catharine MacKinnon during a provocative lecture yesterday that underscored..."

"...she is holding a book-signing event today in room 180 of the Law School at 12:30 p.m."

Well,well...

because we’re scared of you, we can kill you,” she said. “Imagine what it would be like if women did the same to men one day.”

This statment is downright terrifying.

To all you men out there, I'm sorry women out there like this exist and I am not one of them.

Women had the keys ot the kingdom! They controlled the makeup and the psyche of the country by raising the next generation. But instead, the man-hating feminists told the impressionable young women that they were dirt, that they were nothing unless they competed with men. That they should not be a home maker and that they would only be "equal" if they shared the feminist goal. They need to stick together they said. A typical liberal tactic.

They convinced an entire generation to give up the keys and become a "professional" woman. They even convinced the country that women had a right to kill an unborn child in the name of convenience or career.

The result of the feminist movement has been countless murders of unborn children, children being raised by television sex & violence, children being dumbed down by the public school system, and children getting whatever they want because their parents don't want to put in the effort to fight with them. The children became a burden instead of a blessing.

In the end, women and men, find out that the most important thing all along was their children. They retire and wonder why their children do not know them and they regret the lies that the feminists told them and there final dying wish is to have more time with their children.

And as it pertains to this topic, the result has been a reduced value placed on the lives of women leading to an increase in the destruction of women.

Thank you feminists. You have done a world of good. You have officially killed chivalry and ruined a large chunk of the gen-x population.

Well, I agree with her position that pornography is degrading and humiliating to all women.

Hmmm... she's 58, and a Yale law grad. She had to have been in the class, or thereabouts, of Bill and Hillary. I'm sure Bill is very empathetic regarding the degradation of women. Maybe she and Bill can pow-wow with some of Bill's Hollywood mogul friends regarding the abuses of pornography.
