Christina Hoff Sommer's really deserves more respect than she gets.

MR. WATTENBERG: What about rape? Is that exaggerated by the modernfeminists?

MS. SOMMERS: Completely. This idea of one in four girls victims ofrape or attempted rape? That's preposterous! And there's also a kindof gentrification of rape. You're much more likely to be a victim ofrape or attempted rape if you're in a high crime neighborhood. Thechances of being raped at Princeton are remote. Katie Roiphe talkedabout being at Princeton. She said she was more afraid -- she wouldwalk across a dark golf course and was more afraid of being attackedby wild geese than by a rapist. And yet the young women at Princetonhave more programs and whistles are given out and blue lights.There's more services to protect these young women from rape than forwomen in, you know, downtown Newark.

I can't find the pic now, but it was a white girl holding a sign up saying she needs feminism because of ^ reason.

And what concerns me most as a philosopher is it's become very anti-intellectual, (Sommers)

I think that's really a problem for feminism. By insisting that logic is a tool of the patriarchy and oppression, they have really dumbed themselves down. By privileging emotion over facts they have undermined their ability to make any kind of actual argument. All they can do is yell louder and louder.

Christina Hoff coined the term "Raunch-culture" feminism.

PBS aired this? How did that sneak by the censors?

I honestly think us men should get reparations. It's only fair!
