"Is this Woodworking 101?"
Another unfortunate looking woman pissed off at the world...

Fiercely and playfully -- often at the same time -- Mary Daly used words to challenge the basic precepts of the Catholic Church and Boston College, where she was on the faculty for more than 30 years.
Dr. Daly emerged as a major voice in the burgeoning women's movement with her first book, "The Church and the Second Sex," published in 1968, and "Beyond God the Father: Toward a Philosophy of Women's Liberation," which appeared five years later. That accomplishment was viewed, then and now, as all the more significant because she wrote and taught at a Jesuit college.
"She was a great trained philosopher, theologian, and poet, and she used all of those tools to demolish patriarchy -- or any idea that domination is natural -- in its most defended place, which is religion," said Gloria Steinem.
Dr. Daly, whose relationship with Boston College grew tempestuous as she insisted that only women could take her classes, died Sunday in Wachusett Manor nursing home in Gardner. She was 81 and her health had failed in the past few years, including recent paralysis due to a neurological condition.
" 'The Church and the Second Sex' was every bit as important in the Catholic world as Betty Friedan's 'The Feminine Mystique,' " said James Carroll, an author and columnist for the Globe's opinion pages who formerly was a Catholic priest.
Sister Joan Chittister, a feminist author and a member of the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, Pa., said Dr. Daly "literally turned the standard theological concepts upside down. Mary played with language in such a way that you simply had to stop and think. ... You couldn't use old words in the old ways."

You kind of wonder if this crowd is capable of love or sacrifice.
Hmmm ... Can you presume to know God’s determination of any soul’s fate?
Yeah, one of her early devotees was Hillary Rodham. Ms. Nibbs asked Daly to help her put together a special summer school for the cream of Arkansas' high school students. Daly obliged creating a demented program which caused the suicide of one student.
May she not rest in peace.

I did not know that. Was it some kind of lesbian nonsense, this summer program? Sounds like she would have been a candidate for excommunication.

It might be easier than you presuming a sense of humor.
Perhaps, but that’s no cause for celebration.
That’s the thing about the internet ... it’s so hard to tell when a non-funny person is “just joking.”
Number 24 of Rush's 35 undeniable truths of life.
Well, let's put it this way...the students were encouraged to explore different lifestyles, drug cultures, weirdo ways of expressing themselves including witchcraft. Parents were no longer to be trusted. So the poor kid had no one to count on as Mary Daly and her gal pals successfully disengaged him from all his meaningful emotional supports.
Six weeks was long enough to cause a perverted state with no chance for reversal.
Liberals only know how to infect,
Heaven would be hell for this crone because she would find men there.
Boy, they sure rounded up all the usual heretics to praise this heretic for doing her best to undermine the Church.
Well, she’s dead. Let’s hope she repented before the end.
war is peace!
Subtlety is a hard thing for some to grasp.
