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?

"There's a lesson here -- the most radical and militant of ANY movement are to be avoided like the plague...and the people who describe them as indicative of the entire movement without bothering to prove it lose their right to be taken seriously as critics. "

Absolutely, it is a good thing that there aren't any recent Political movements in the US where people hold the fringe extremists to be representative of the whole.

If you shove your tongue any further in your cheek, you're gonna poke a hole.

Yeah but then I can put a metal stud in it and everyone will think I'm all cool and goth and stuff.
