Erin Pizzey tells her own story.

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?

Problem is, that when you have a bunch of batshit-crazy people on one fringe, you run the risk of having your entire movement painted that way.

Well, look how well that has worked for Republicans. We will be in a situation where the leadership will eventually prevail and everyone will heave a sigh of relief that the batshit fringe didn't win. Unfortunately, we will end up with policies that are far right of center. The thing is, the batshit fringe never wins on either side, so there was really nothing to worry about in the first place.
