4. Which demonstrates that there's no really difference between them and the book burners

Reisman's degrees are in Communication, which is typical for the 'experts' touted by such people. Among her other brilliant 'theories', she thinks Nazism was caused by homosexuality. The so-called 'male gaze' brilliant idea came from Laura Mulvey who has a degree in cinematography. Dworkin was a college dropout. MacKinnon has a law degree. Steinem studied political science. Brownmiller was a college dropout.

As near as I can tell, not one of them has any sort of background in human behavior, yet there are those who seek to reorder society (by force if necessary), based on the writings of these hacks, none of which who enjoy any sort of credibility from people who actually do have backgrounds in human behavior.

I actually have more respect for the book burners. At least they are basing their fringe nut ideas on scripture rather than duplicitous pseudo-science.

Its also interesting that the anti porn "science" comes from the religious right Warren DeMontague Jun 2012 #1
It also comes from the women's studies dept at a few universities Major Nikon Jul 2012 #2
And they love nothing more than to tout "hard science" from folks like Reisman Warren DeMontague Jul 2012 #3
