When I was in college, many far-left women practically worshipped Daly's writings. Being very far-left myself at the time, I read her. I doubt it was her intention, but she helped turned me into a conservative.

I will say no more. I won't speak ill of the dead.

I can’t imagine the number of lives she screwed up with her “religion”.

Most women grow out of the “religion” of feminism it because they dont want to die alone and miserable. :D Look at Maureen Dowd that is enough reason to get away from feminism

For Boston, for Boston
we sing our proud refrain
For Boston, for Boston
tis wisdoms’ earthly thane
for here MEN ARE MEN
and the hearts ring true
and the Towers on The Heights
reach the heavens’ own blue
For Boston, for Boston
till the echos ring again

We are obligated to speak ill of the dead who advanced evil.

In order to run afoul of Godwin’s Law, you’d have to call him a Nazi or compare him to Hitler.

I’m afraid I have bad news for her. Hell - as I understand it - allows men in.

I googled her picture . . . she gives Helen Thomas a run for her money proving once again Rush Limbaugh’s theory: Feminism was invented to give UGLY women equal (forced) access to society!

No disrespect to you intended, why is this NYT level news?

She was a dumb-ass leftist airhead, with a license to screw with our youth.

Good riddance.

Has this song been banned or have the lyrics been neutered?

I don’t like Hitler either. But Daly didn’t kill millions of people. All Daly did waste a lot of people’s time and mess up the lives of impressionable young women. These count as venial sins in the big scheme of things.

Oh wait...I guess I am now sort of speaking ill of the dead.

One of her statements in an interview...

“If life is to survive on this planet, there must be a decontamination of the Earth. I think this will be accompanied by an evolutionary process that will result in a drastic reduction of the population of males.”

It’s actually hard to pray for her. I seem to be able to stomach it better in the collective: “May God have mercy on all the poor wretches who followed those who misled, and who misled others. May God save me from growing old in my sins.”

The irony of a man-hater who looks like a man.
