Ok, that is the link.
Me? I reckon she did the right thing.
I am not sure what benefit I might have gained from blowing up Biba, a store in london - but if her refuges had been there for my mother, it certainly would have helped.
I am suprised that some feminists still attack her - and no, I don't subscribe to Harriet Harman's view that men cannot contribute anything to the family.

But what's your take on Erin Pizzey, I wonder?

The leadership of the movement inside the UK, then.


She demonstrates potentially that some ministers in the mid-90s were potentially ideological descendents of the people she had bad experiences with in the early 1970s.

That's not really the same thing and the big problem with her critique. She has a good object lesson about the destructive role of absolutists and radicals and uses it to say an entire movement with a long history both prior to and past the 1970s is irredeemably anti-male and radical.

Great polemics. Not so great honest basis for debate.
