This is from its (I hesitate to use the feminine pronoun)website. Her picture is there. Be prepared. She looks like every other Libiot Nag Hag.

“I’m the author of The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory. It’s been called “ground-breaking” and “pioneering” (interesting how our description of books draws from our invasive relationship to the land). Many say it is an underground classic, which I guess means that lots of people know and love it, but it goes unnoticed by the dominant media. Of course, when it first came out, that was slightly different. Then, right-wing reviewers held it up as the latest example of academic excess and political correctness, which was funny to me, because I am not an academic. I used to teach a course I developed at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University on “Sexual and Domestic Violence: Theological and Pastoral Issues” — but very infrequently. Basically, for as long as I have been an adult, I have been an advocate, an activist, someone trying to figure out how do we transform this d*#! world that is built on inequality.

As an undergraduate, I worked to bring women’s studies courses to the University of Rochester. This was in the early 1970s, and I struggled to find a way to express feminist ideas in my papers for college. I was also involved in protesting the Vietnam War. I went from college to Yale Divinity School, where my field work was at the New Haven Women’s Liberation Center and in an abortion clinic at Yale Medical School. That is where I was the day Roe v. Wade was announced by the Supreme Court. I spent a year at University of Pennsylvania, as an intern for women’s issues at the Christian Association. We created a Susan B. Anthony birthday celebration in 1974. I had the opportunity to dress up as Susan B. and read the speech she gave at the Liberty Bell in 1876. For a moment, I stood alone next to the Liberty Bell, before stepping out to enact my part. I was moved by the sense of historical connection to feminist activists from the past, like Anthony and Stanton, and how we were still working to liberate women from inequality.”

There is more, but I didn’t want to use anymore space.

So, I’ll use it for you. You are a silly twit.

That’s all I’m going to say. I don’t believe in using too much space, either.

Oh, my. She has actively worked to exploit and victimize women. I wonder if she is aware that Susan B. Anthony spoke out against abortion, in part because it reduces women to subhuman status?

After reading her autobiographical statement (at least, the portion you posted here), I am not surprised that she says some kooky things. She gives the impression of a person whose mind is completely fractured by the incoherent and contradictory belief system she has adopted.
