My Sister Kate: The Destructive Feminist Legacy of Kate Millett
Frontpage Magazine ^ | 2/7/2018 | Mark Tapson

Posted on 02/13/2018 1:07:50 PM PST by digger48

Feminist icon Kate Millett passed away recently in Paris at the age of 82. Her 1970 book Sexual Politics, called “the Bible of Women’s Liberation” by the New York Times, had a seismic effect on feminist thought and launched Millett as what the Times called “a defining architect of second-wave feminism.” In a cover story that same year, TIME magazine crowned her “the Mao Tse-tung of Women’s Liberation.” Fellow feminist Andrea Dworkin said that Millett woke up a sleeping world.

Kate’s sister Mallory, a CFO for several corporations, resides in New York City with her husband of over twenty years.In a riveting article from a few years back bluntly titled, “Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives,” Mallory revealed what she saw of the subversive undercurrent of her sister’s passionate radicalism.

Asked for her thoughts on Kate’s legacy, Mallory shared her very personal responses, which follow.

Mark Tapson: Your sister was an icon of female empowerment, but what do you think the reality of feminism has been for generations of women since Kate helped launch the second wave of the movement?

Mallory Millett: How bizarre it is to have to argue the obvious; to have to prove over and over again what is self-evident so let me be as offensive as I possibly can: Men are men and women are women. They are essentially different and designed for a natural division of labor. Period.

I get a kick out of the feminists’ love affair with the word “empowerment.” They have clever formulas for ensnaring hapless souls into their deceits. One of their slicker moves is to create a vocabulary designed to get around long-held beliefs, mores, taboos or fears. “Pro-choice” is their Newspeak euphemism for the casual murder of an human being; “Dreamers” means illegal immigrants; “Progressives” denotes a group dragging us back to the cave; “Sanctuary City” means a place where no actual US citizen is safe. This “empowerment” thing makes me especially crazy.

Maybe just sour grapes by Mallory?

Maybe because she wishes she could shimmy like her sister Kate?

Don't apologize. I missed it too. If you hadn't posted it, I'd still be missing it.

Yes, they got equality where they can now be worked like dogs if they want nice things - and many of them HATE it.

As I get older I’m noticing that as female co-workers approach 50 they get very melancholy; they realize they are still over a decade from the finish line, and they just seem tired all of the time. I believe it is related to physical changes they undergo, but whatever the cause I don’t envy them.

Thanks for posting this article. I would have missed it if you had not done so. So, despite the self appointed anal Barney Fifes policing this site, keep up posting relevant articles.

Feminists are evil. They have caused so much destruction to so many lives.
