Summary: Maoism at Full Throttle
Comment: In order to get a sense of where the sexual harassment industry started, and where it is going to end up, you have to read Simone de Beauvoir's book The Long March, a very positive appraisal of Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution. Simone de Beauvoir, whose texts are canonical within women's studies, was an ardent Maoist, and continued passing out Maoist pamphlets in the 1970s in Paris.
Probably the second biggest feminist thinker in the American pantheon is the French theorist Julia Kristeva. She was also a huge fun of Mao into the late 1970s.
Reading those two books will give you the full picture of what is happening in American academia in women's studies today.
What happened in Tianamen Square in the late 1980s to students who opposed Mao's Cultural Revolution is what happens to anybody who stands up to women's studies in academia. They get steamrolled. At this point it is a movement that is totally out of control. Nobody on earth can stop it.
Patai had the guts to document this movement while it is at full throttle. It is amazing that she is still alive.
Thank God this book exists.

Summary: Essential reading for anyone concerned with academia
Comment: Somewhere back down the line, the academic left took a disastrously wrong turn and has now seemingly come full circle and emerged on the far _right_ of the political spectrum, adopting authoritarian tactics and hate-based, scapegoating ideologies, effectively forestalling any possibility of real freedom and equality. Daphne Patai, a long-time, committed feminist, has written an excellent expose of these developments within academic feminism and their disastrous effects on university life and on society as a whole. Her work also has important implications for the rest of the identity-politics movement as it continues its deranged quest to re-enact the Maoist Cultural Revolution in America. It's time for any progressives who still remain in possession of a conscience to acknowledge that postmodernism, identity politics, and political correctness haven't done a damn thing for poor people, to get off their over-theorized asses and get back to the basics.

Summary: Brave and Heroic.
Comment: This one is an all-time favorite. It depicts the heterophobic feministas at their height of their game--terrorizing all men who happen to be in an non-submissive state. Patai investigates the "Sexual Harassment Industry" and the way in which men are trampled under the gnarly sawteeth of radical feminism. The story of Professor Jane Gallop is one you'll never forget along with her outrage at being charged with sexually soliciting favors from undergraduates. She actually said, I thought this stuff only applied to men. No, it's supposed to apply to her as well, in theory at least. I'm sometimes asked what my favorite anti-radical feminist work is and Heterophobia would definitely be one at the top of the list.
