I always think it’s interesting how many prominent feminists - eg Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan; and now Melinda Gates - turn out to have been in exceptionally cruel marriages. Did this private misery make them particularly mistrustful of men?
Have you watched this documentary of Norman Mailer debating radical feminists in 1971? It's an interesting window into another time. Could never have happened today; our discourse is much narrower now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGYmyou0sKM …

God I just can't take Mailer on screen; just unbelievably self-consciously put-on pretense with him. Is he a good writer?

Thought you'd be too young to remember this! (Where are Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal, now that we need them?)

Wow. Amazing to hear the English language used at that level. Could we imagine that today?
