Humanity Should be 10% Male 90% Female (BC Prof Mary Daly)

The entire interview (much longer than this small excerpt) is worth reading just to explore the disconnection from reality that Daly, a Boston College prof who refuses to allow males in her classroom, equates with a higher feminist consciousness.

Gearhart and Daly don't specify the means by which they would drive men from the planet, but one must assume that, in order to achieve their goal of a "less violent world," oceans of blood would have to be spilled, and the heavy hand of a totalitarian state be put in place.

These people are sick. They want us to slaughter our unborn children, cheer for terrorists, force perversion into our culture, and now want to exterminate our species. These fiends seriously need to be committed.

[Paul Atreides]

Just how does the stupid bitch hope to continue the human race, through cloning? Also, I suspect that the ratio would be maintained through selective abortion and euthanasia.

[Righty1]

I think they are angling toward using X sperm and selective abortions. This would be augmented with cloning of greats like hitlery, babs, babs, and gloria! This whole earth mother movement is about a war of the sexes which is preordained to be a female victory.

[Paul Atreides]

Yeah, but in their world their side would consist of feminazis.

[Entropy Squared]

A ten to one ratio would put our services at a premium, wouldn't it?

[Clara Lou]

And they pay her money for putting out this dreck? Pitiful.

People are afraid to say that kind of stuff anymore.

When were people not afraid to say this kind of stuff?

What makes you think you'd be one of the lucky ones?

[johniegrad]

Doesn't sound like she's had much luck picking men in her past. Or, perhaps, she's beset with heterophobia.

[sinkspur]

Nobody listens to, or cares about, these people. They're like the shortwave nuts on the far right who rant against Jooz and black people.

[Libertina]

That would prove very uninteresting for us females!

[JoeSixPack1]

Granted, I'd be REAL tired...but REAL happy :)

I'll second that!

And after 15-20 years I'd be really really scared too!! LOL

I think Daly is referring to the heyday of man-hating feminism in the '70s, when such statements were commonplace among radical feminists.
