i need to read about these women instead of dismissing them because others on du has rejected them, all their work and what they stand for. thank you for the title of those books.

i appreciate how you framed your argument. i cannot see any way to get a handle of what is happening to our women in the industry any more than the harm to society but education. but, thank you for this slight deviation that makes it not so black and white.

i listened to a video of mackinnons speaking. there is nothing out there about the woman. and everything about her being accomplished, successful, damn smart, and a lifetime of helping and supporting women.
