I hate all the left right rhetoric. I'm certainly a leftist, and consider myself a feminist, but I'm on a different planet than the NN type of feminist.

[Divinity33372]

@TheNakedAtheist agreed. Just like I hate it when SOME feminists say "feminists are against the sex industry." Well, that's just not true. I try to listen to the way someone makes their points and pay less attention to what side they are on i.e. left or right. If they make a good point...they make a good point.

Quite an intelligent perspective. Thank you for posting this

Oh, she's quite charming! I'd read some of her articles in the past - but didn't know how balanced, warm, humorous, eloquent and responsive to questions she'd be "in person".

@rusty57 She's politically conservative and I don't agree all her views. But I do appreciate her critique of radfems and their over the top attitude toward men.

Amen

@rusty57

yet, she still argues with intellect and common sense rather than religious passionate mumbo jumbo, conservatives tend to use. she doesn't strike me as some one who s taking sides, by rather some one who is trying to paint a clear picture of what the problem is and how best to deal with it. if you have feminist groups exaggerating rape statistics like Ms Magazine or that superbowl hoax, you are not actually solving anything but making things worse. that's why clarity is needed.

@nigen she is totally motivated by bias, and she betrays her bias when she declares that the inequities are mostly things in the past in America. Is that any different than the conservative token blacks like Michael Steele, Herman Cain and Clarence Thomas, who tell their white conservative/libertarian audiences that they racial discrimination and inequalities don't really exist now. And she supports the phony war against sharia.

[nigen]

well, i must say, Sommers seems to be teh perfect example fo where we want to be. ?Intelectual, pragmatic, honest and not motivated by bias or gain. nad she is sticking up for boys who were growing up int he 90s. its really sad that a whole lot of the nutjobs are trying to denouce, Sommers who is such a fair and pragmatic voice of reason. still, lets not let her stand alone, humanist movement! UNITE!
