Yet another example of feminist channeling of "Dr." Judith Reisman

[Major Nikon]

The feminist critic of Warren Farrell who claims he advocates for rape and child molestation came up with this little jewel:

This is what Farrell writes:
"The Kinsey Institute ranked it as, by far, the best and most responsible study ever done on the subject."

To which the feminist responds:
"The Kinsey Institute had also compiled data by paedophiles who were at the time actively abusing children, some as young as infants. A glowing review by Kinsey is not necessarily a good thing in this case."

For those who don't know what the Kinsey Institute is or who Alfred Kinsey is, it's definitely worth a quick trip to wiki. The report of his groundbreaking research was published in the 40's and 50's. It was quite controversial at the time, but is one of the most frequently cited references to human sexuality that we have. Prior to the Kinsey reports, homosexuality was viewed as a mental defect by the medical community.

So basically the feminist is also accusing Kinsey of being an advocate for child molestation. So where would someone get such a fucked up idea? Well, it turns out if you really are in the market for fucked up ideas regarding human sexuality, it's best to go directly to the source. Yep, you guessed it, "Dr." Judith Reisman (and her equally full-of-shit peer, "Dr." Laura Schlesinger)

2. This petulant anti-intellectual dismissal of doctorates makes you lose credibility

PhDs are not "Dr" anything, regardless of their real or assumed biases. They are Dr. Surnames, were called so centuries before physicians (for some thuggish academic hating reason usually the only people those who use scare quotes like this don't object to) were so called, and with far more linguistic accuracy, since the word means "teacher".

Attack their ideas, not their academic titles.

5. That's not my intent

Warren Farrell has referred to himself as "Dr." I don't have a problem with anyone who has a Ph.D calling themselves Dr. I do have a problem with those who try to pass off pseudo-science as science while using that title.
