A Female PhD Weighs In on the Lawrence Summers Flap

Janice Shaw Crouse, PhD, has a guest commentary on Town Hall today regarding the feminist backlash against Harvard president Lawrence Summers. A choice tidbit:

For the radical feminists, equality of opportunity is not enough. It is no longer sufficient to have empowerment to achieve their potential. They seek control: acquiring pure power for its own sake. They realize that acquiring power hinges upon successfully demanding equality of outcome. But this aim, this result, can only be justified if men and women are identical in their aptitudes in all areas. Males and females must be interchangeable in their roles, positions and behavior.

Go on, read the whole thing...and see that not all academics are in the habit of letting the rabble think for them.
