Just browsed a few essays and stumbled across this-

***We need not go quite so far as the recent
comment of Professor Edward A. Shils, eminent sociologist
at the University of Chicago, that he now expects a “dog liberation
front,” but it is hard to fault the annoyance behind his
remark.***

And now we have PETA and the use of terrorism to “free” animals. Just how much of the battle has been lost since 1974.

Also, it seems to me that The Great Women’s Liberation Issue has been proven somewhat wrong. While in no way wanting Statist intervention to force an outcome outside the market, women have shown to be competent as men and have entered in great numbers into professional fields. One would have to show that due to bias in their favor crowded out more qualified men in the respective fields has left the profession overall more poorly off. This is pretty much impossible anyway. I would say there was a greater bias against women for poorly defined reasons over and above the natural situation occuring as women choose to bear children and take time off. Again, I would not support force in rectifying such a bias.

Also, while women were fighting to get equality, many missed the fact that while women were given a list of cultural expectations, men were given their own list as well. A list that carries forward to this day as men are rarely allowed to be “stay at home” without some sort of negative view, while women are free to choose which role they would like. Men were just as pigeonholed as women in those bygone days, and the “forgotten man” is just as forgotten today.

Thank you for making this available as a pdf. I’ve got the hard copy, but I like being able to have the e-book version as well so I can search through it when I’m away from home.

Cheers!
