Rachel Wilson ok ...

I share your high admiration for her, but her spirit and ideas will last beyond the grave, especially if reading doesn't die away completely in culture. Still, she's left a fairly large contribution to filmed interviews/lectures, etc. Not to the extent that Jordan Peterson has. She is definitely more literary than Peterson. Peterson tends to have a very muted personality and she has the opposite, being "large", containing "multitudes," as Whitman said about himself, while still having intellectual brilliance on the highest level.

The frequency and directness with which she talks is actually a valuable tool in a classroom (shes a teacher), especially in a classroom of male students. Boys are very easy to lose attention if you're overloading your lessons, arguments and sentences with unneeded information, with "relative/guess" speaking and an a focus on emotionally charges warming, niceness for the sake of being overly polite rather than to the point. ("tyranny of niceness") By comparison she is abdurb, direct and tells it to your face, which is like a breath of fresh air for boys. (one of the reasons why boys opt out of lesson/doze off during class is that the style/rhythm of teaching has become passive, un-critical, yet overloaded^ like that, with indirect, overly friendly and polite/PC) paper describing this effect: files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ750623.pdf I believe she realized the contrapoint of her voice, in her 1994 interview, when asked if its true that girls are not getting as much attention in class as boys, she said addressing boys is keeping them in line, while girls usually dont want to be embarassed by her powerful/direct voice ... so they sit quietly, do their homework and look at her like "please don't embarrass me in front of all the class".

I know right?! If it wasnt for discovering her and Christina Hoff Sommers I would have thought I was going crazy wondering why Im so disillusioned with modern feminism. It is so sad they are disregarded, they were right decades later. Shall we younger ones just give up on feminism? :/

@7H3 Pl13R fiamengo I've heard of but not the other one thank you!

An utterly ridiculous move on her part, no matter what her thesis happens to be.

@@CelineOracle An anti-feminist hahaha! Wow. Okay. Sure whatever she says she's the leader after all and knows best :)

Was thinking that too... spooky

@@CelineOracle It's pretty pathetic for any intelligent woman to not applaud Paglia's message of "strong women - stop blaming men for everything and share responsibility" - it really proves her point.

Yes, that was brilliant. Call them on their own hypocrisy.

Great comment! Love it.

Yes, and Susan Faludi and maybe Rebecca Walker next to Steinem.
