I can't get on board with the anti-family, pro-abortion, even at times anti-sex (a radical celibacy which is purely politically motivated), other times it's about a political homosexuality, or the anarchy / Marxism. The tension radical feminists must live in by simultaneously wanting abortion on demand while knowing this automatically benefits sexually liberal men is part of the reason why I don't want to be in their shoes.

I can't agree with Mary Daly's paganism (the fact that she was a Catholic theology teacher for years despite this is baffling, but it's not the first time a radical feminist sort of "infiltrates" or becomes one while in the Catholic Church), I found her text unsufferable.

That being said, this text deserves four stars because it makes some good points against assisted reproductive technology, which enslave and harm women, the "choice" rhetoric of sexual liberalism and libertarianism in the shape of prostitution and pornography, as well as it questions mainstream sexology, psychology and their shaky foundations.
