Criticisms of Christina Hoff Sommers' books, Who Stole Feminism and The War on Boys

I do have an issue with Christian Hoff Summers. Months ago, she signed a petition with fifteen other feminsts in support of Michelle Fields claim that she was man handled by Donald Trump's campaign manager. The accusation turned out to bogus when video surfaced. CHS never retracted.

Wow, this is totally insane. It actually argues that CHS is working for the CIA on a project to destroy the family, based on the evidence that she mentioned the Columbine massacre, which everybody knows was a secret US Government operation. What's next, feminism can't melt steel beams?

I wasnt able to read more than half way throufh this pdf. Too much speculation. Christina isnt perfect but she is doing a fine job of challenging that which almost always gets accepted at face value. You can't expect her to also through in a restructuring of the education, legal, and media systems all within the same book.

This post is a bunch of randomy muddled speculations.

Miles Mathis is insane. One of the most well-known crackpots on the internet.

Sommers describes herself as an 'equity feminist'. She argued that there is a split within American feminism between equity feminism, and what she terms "gender feminism" (that she criticises).

But I don’t think there’s any such split, or that there’s a clear difference between the two. This whole feminist business is just one big steaming mess. There are 20 kinds of feminism, and they all hate each other.

It was never an organic movement with any clearly defined goals, or even a clear definition of what it’s supposed to be. The best definition of feminism IMHO is ‘angry women’. It’s simply a hate movement, that’s all.
