(really just filling the reactionary role that needed to be filled post sexual revolution.) and i've gotta say, as much as i love where we're going on the sexual freedom front, it's difficult to watch what i sense is an increase in sexism at the same time. i doubt it will last, but this hiphop/youth culture thang that's making it like women's highest purpose is to be slave/prostitute has gotta yank her (and other aging lesbian-feminists') chain something fierce. i don’t think she’s got a blind spot so much as she’s operating from the position of someone who was/believes she was seriously abused. for a time, this mentally ill unfortunate person was seen as an expert on the sex lives of women.

Freya: I'm with you about McKinnon's big blind spot. At the very least, she should know about sore throats sprays that deaden the gag reflex, but I guess she's too busy tallying the numbers of throat rape victims seeking medical care.

As a feminist smut writer, I often find McKinnon's position regarding sex in general, more specifically sex in film and on paper, to be more anti woman than pro woman. Women like sex! For the life of me, I cannot understand why she continues to be so blind about this issue and continue to make such ridiculous blanket statements. And wow, hypnosis? I admit that deep throating is not as easy as it looks in the movies but hypnosis? She's actually a very intelligent woman, she's just completely unhinged about the subject of sex, which is sad.
