Professing feminism: cautionary tales from the strange world of women's studies

Abstract

In this illiberal education of feminism, two feminist academics speak out, showing how political correctness has turned academic feminism into a parody of itself. They assert that official feminism has become irrelevant to or misunderstood by people inside and outside of academic circles, playing into the hands of right-wing critics and creating a gender cult dedicated solely to furthering its own interests. The authors call for feminism to abandon its intolerant and self-destructive modes and explore how to regain the positive vision that attracted so many women in the first place.
