Mary Daly
Regarding Mary Daly, the “radical feminist” professor at Boston College who refuses to admit men to her courses (Feb. 26): Her excuse for this discriminatory conduct is “her belief that women tend to defer to a man whenever one is present.”
Does Daly have any idea how demeaning it is to women for her to have made that statement? She is saying that the women who take her course are so stupid and conditioned that simply having a man in the room will make them in some way subservient? And this is what passes for “radical feminism” these days? Emma Goldman must be rolling in her grave!
