Kate Millett, Influential Feminist Writer, Is Dead at 82

Kate Millett, whose 1970 book, “Sexual Politics,” made her, as one writer put it, “the principal theoretician of the women’s liberation movement,” and who went on to be a leading voice on human rights, mental health issues and more, died on Wednesday in Paris. She was 82.

Her spouse, Sophie Keir, said the cause was cardiac arrest. Living in New York City, they had been going to Paris every year to celebrate their birthdays, she said.

Ms. Millett was in her mid-30s and a generally unknown sculptor when her doctoral dissertation at Columbia University, “Sexual Politics,” was published by Doubleday and Co. Her core premise was that the relationship between the sexes is political, with the definition of politics including, as she once said, “arrangements whereby one group of persons is controlled by another.”

Okay.

Her spouse, Sophie Keir, said the cause was cardiac arrest. Living in New York City, they had been going to Paris every year to celebrate their birthdays, she said.

Of course.

[hinckley buzzard]

Kate Millet was a diagnosed and sometimes hospitalized bipolar disorder, subject to periods of psychosis. She was never very stable, as her sexual issues reveal.

Homosexuals are very controlling and violent.

[smokingfrog]

I guess the feminist propaganda scam must pay pretty well.

[Hildy]

Lesbians are. And they are controlling and violent because they hate themselves.

[Noumenon]

Low grade will to power sociopathy.

She was probably just pissed off that none of those super sexy, masculine, alpha male cavemen wanted to control her, so she went lesbo.

Nothing to say here.

Prayers for a deeply misguided soul.

Color me flabbergasted! Gobsmacked! Didn’t see that coming.

Goodbye! Good Riddance!

[Campion]

Check out her Wikipedia page. Her father beat her as a child, then left the family. She was, by all accounts, very much mentally ill.

Note that Evolution, which I’m sure Kate styled herself as understanding, worked it’s wonders here: she never had kids.

So the genetics that led to such dysfunctionality in one person won’t bother us anymore.

Buh-Bye.

Won’t miss you.

Maybe you can explain yourself to the souls of the aborted in the afterlife, tell them why you advocated their deaths.
