What Kinsey wrought
U.S. News and World Report ^ | 11/15/2004 | John Leo

Posted on 11/15/2004 8:25:07 AM PST by RepCath

The unending 50-year war over Alfred Kinsey and his sex research is about to flare up once again, thanks to the new movie Kinsey. The film manages to be fairly faithful to the biographies of Kinsey while sliding by or simply omitting a lot of negative material that might interfere with a heroic view of the man.

Worse. Read about how his researchers conducted experiments on the orgasmic responses of infants.

not only making up part of it but that some of it was gained directly by on-going and sustained child abuse.

Selling Sex in America (how he got his 'research' and manipulated his own data...)

A biographical note here: Years ago, I covered the world of sex research as part of my social-science beat at Time magazine. I quickly figured out that a lot of people in this world seemed to have entered it because of their unusual sexual tastes, opinions, or problems. I think this was certainly true earlier of Kinsey as well. In my Time days, the air was so thick with sex-world arguments in favor of incest and adult-child sex that I threw a lot of them together in a one-page report. Interesting comments by Leo on his earlier days at Time.

I think this is going to shape up to be yet another box office bomb, which will be seen by the left as BUSH'S FAULT.

None of these idiots have learned ANYTHING from the campaign or the election. I realize the movie was made long before this year, and I understand that they must release it in order to recoup their investment (or try to anyway), but they are trying to advertise this like it is the story of Jonas Salk or something.

Maybe they'll get away with it, surprisingly to me, hubby didn't know who Kinsey was, at all. So maybe they can fool enough folks into seeing it.

I will go and watch the Incredibles for entertainment. This movie smacks of hollywood glossed over revisionism. Sad that these perverts can get away with this!! And they have the nerve to accuse the Catholic church of pedeaphelia!!!

Good catch. Here's another one.

IL MEDIA UNSPUN: Kinsey & Ebert, At the Movies

Friday, November 19, 2004 - By Arlen Williams, media critic

A movie is now being shown that promotes one of the most evil and destructive figures in the 20th Century. The setting: not Berlin, nor Moscow, nor Peking . . . but Bloomington, Indiana.

"People of informed conscience are exposing this film and its subject for what they are. Roger Ebert doesn't like that. . . Read more...
