Daphne Patai’s What Price Utopia? Essays on Ideological Policing, Feminism, and Academic Affairs arrived in the mail today, and it looks like a big old feast of just the kind of thing I like. That means you’d probably like it too (otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this, would you).

No, one might read your comments looking for an argument. By the way, although I don’t always like what you like, I do like your writing style.
Since no one else is commenting on this, I might as well add my tuppence worth.
Judging from the title, and previously published, cogently argued, writings of Daphne Patai I have read, the subheading for the book could as well be:
“Where did it all go wrong?”
Pity about the price, though.
I’ve just read a really staggering chapter from the book about Catharine MacKinnon taking exception to a brief summary of one of her views in Patai’s and Koertge’s Professing Feminism and getting a lawyer to send them a letter accusing them of defamation. Unbelievable.
