Who where feminist writer Ann Oakleys main critics and why?
Ann Oakley likes to think she is a moderate feminist but would a moderate write something like: “Men are the enemies of women. Promising sublime intimacy, unequalled passion, amazing security and grace, they nevertheless exploit and injure in a myriad subtle ways. Without men the world would be a better place: softer, kinder, more loving; calmer, quieter, more humane” Ann Oakley (1984) in Taking It Like a Woman. Try changing the word ‘man’ for ‘Jew’ in this quote and you will see exactly what I mean about her not being so moderate. http://www.annoakley.co.uk/jPortrait.
