This is the sort of article that leads us and sustains us that conservatism is the protector of human nature, truth and culture. It also reminds us that acorns can roll quite a distance from the tree.
My Sister Kate: The Destructive Feminist Legacy of Kate Millett
A conversation with the feminist icon’s sister.
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.
The interview is lucid and elucidating. Really an important read as a critique of modern feminism. We also offer this item as a companion piece because of some related insights about the implications of one of the underpinnings of modern feminism, the contraceptive mentality. We are not saying the article is the last word, or enough of the picture, only that it affirms the traditional family which we find to be a good thing.
Thanks to a Michigan reader for drawing the articles to our attention.
