@MamurphyMaureen @jiatolentino I find her irritating because she makes huge assumptions about her readers- wrong in many cases.

Lionel Shriver is the latest intellectual of a certain age to get attacked for offering thoughts that might result in discussion.
-
Except she mocks the other side of the discussion. That is talking AT people, not with them.

In The Mandible, the white husband doesn't just keep his black wife w/ Alzheimers on a leash, he shoots her bec she's a burden.

At least that's I read. I'm not reading the book, or anything else by Lionel Shriver.

@jiatolentino that's because they're blinkered ideologues... -
Yes, Lionel Shriver and her followers are that. They are fighting for right to offend without criticism
-
and how might you be coming to that conclusion.. i read nothing like that in her remarks
-
Other people, including someone who was at the speech, already have written eloquently on this.
-
her remarks were a plea for artistic freedom period, which of course must be supported
-
It's far more complicated than that. But again, other people have already written quite well about it.
-
i'm not talking to them
-
I'm not taking the time to repeat what already been said quite well.
