Michael Crichton: "FEMINISM COMMIT INTELLECTUAL SUICIDE WITH ITS SUPPORT OF CLINTON"

I had one of the first subscriptions to Ms. magazine. I was actually quite sorry to see feminism take the nosedive it did, to watch it commit intellectual suicide with its support for Clinton. If they like the guy, he can do anything. But if they don't--if it's Bob Packwood--they kill him. It revealed the intellectual contradiction. At least that's my reading of it.

Author Crichton (Jurassic Park) Tells the Truth About Clinton and Feminists

Entertainment Weekly Magazine| 11/29/2002 | Benjamin Svetkey (interviewer)

 
 
"Who is Juanita Broaddrick? I've never heard of her!" cried Betty Friedan, the founder of modern feminism. Friedan's outburst came at last Friday's conference, entitled "The Legacy and Future of Hillary Rodham Clinton." Held at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. D.C., the event offered a chilling microcosm of an angry, divided America.
 
For nearly an hour, a five-woman panel had been debating whether Hillary qualified as a "feminist heroine." I thought Broaddrick's claim of having been raped by Hillary's husband had some bearing on this point, so I broached the subject during the question-and-answer period. Friedan's dyspeptic denial followed.
 
Was Friedan telling the truth? Maybe. And maybe all those millions of Germans who professed ignorance of the death camps were telling the truth too. The problem is, having admitted her ignorance, Friedan showed no interest in exploring the matter further. And that was the problem with the Germans too.
 
Totalitarian impulses flourished at the conference. Taking a page from Soviet psychiatry, some Clintonites suggested that Hillary hating might be a mental illness. . .

Rape is a "personal allegation." What if it was your daughter, Al? Would it then be a personal accusation or a serious criminal offense.
