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.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but this really explains the feminist movement, how it got started and the shines a light on the ACTUAL mental instability of the movements founders.

And by "mental instability", I mean the woman who forced "Womens Studies" onto the college campus was just plain BAT SH*T CRAY CRAY

Maybe I’m missing something, but was it supposed to be laudatory, a compliment, to compare her to Chairman Mao????

BKMK.

this is awesome!

There seem to be a lot more people telling it like it is, and getting an audience. I’m thinking Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson, and now this woman, just to name a few.

And if you’ve not seen the documentary, The Red Pill, it is a MUST SEE.

"TIME magazine crowned her “the Mao Tse-tung of Women’s Liberation.”

And, nearly 50 years ago, "TIME" ALREADY considered that a compliment. The long march through the institutions, indeed.

Feminism at its core is an anti fertility cult.

How would I know what to search for if I hadn’t seen it somewhere else today?

So you can’t search for a title before you post it?

You know.. the whole title.. searched under “titles”?

It isn’t hard, I obviously did it.

“Why, the facts scream that feminists are two generations of the worst-ever educators of America’s children.”

Just another reason to abandon the word “feminist” in favor of the more accurate “shit goblin.”

Neither missing nor seeing it the other day has anything to do with the search function.

I really never heard of her and I was all in during the 70s.

WOW... I read this and thought ‘no way, this has to be some faux-news stuff’. I've looked. Seems legit...which is both very frightening that American has gone through this and hopeful that perhaps we are starting to wake the hell up. We better figure it out...because we can't stand another largely lost generation of kids being force fed this crap.

My nap has nothing to do with your failure or inability to use “search”.

What do you think it’s for? Decoration?
