The
Christchurch Civic Creche Case |
|
|
|
|
I'd like to point out
to R. Christie (Sept 2) that "dozens of overwhelmingly positive
reviews" are not proof that Lynley Hood's theory about a witch hunt,
driven by feminists and culminating in the Christchurch Civic Creche case, is
necessarily correct. Hood's theory falls
down when she credits feminists with so much power that they were able to
influence government departments, the police and the judiciary. Certainly
feminists were successful (after many years of lobbying) in getting
improvements made to domestic violence laws and sexual harassment policies,
but feminism has always been a minority view and to attribute it with the
sort of power that Hood does is simply ridiculous. May I assume that R.
Christie agrees with Hood that therapists, police and prosecutors are
"guilty of repeated misconduct" and sex abuse workers believe that
"all men are sexual predators and should not be allowed near women and
children"? |
