I am in total agreement as to what you say is in her favour. As yet I have not come across anything that I really disagree with. have you?
The only thing I find frustrating is the limitation of her readership potential, but then perhaps that is not her problem. I would like to see her work more accessable in a simplistic, non-academic format!
It would then reach out to those who are not aware of CP`s messages etc.
|For many just starting on the first chapter is a mammoth undertaking. Which is a shame because it can stop people from either absorbing or reading further. We need an academic mediator I think!

i loved CP`s battle with usual conformation of ideas. She challenges outside of usual group reasoning...her self descriptive analysis of herself as an anti-feminist feminist is a corker!!

She fulfills for me the areas of non-acceptance that I find my own thoughts run around. I am in total awe of the achievements of feminists, but find huge descrpancies & sometimes hateful attacks on how I see myself as a prostitute (Dominatrix).
She is `logical`, it makes sense, outside of personal experiences. personal experiences are good, but don`t always make sense! I have a side of me that is logical, & stands apart from my own personal experiences, whereas with feminism, I encounter personal experiences like a burden of huge proportion. Which I find limiting & frustrating to say the least!

She is also not anti gender in any sense. her greatest friends being gender benders. the same as myself!
She is with the creative influences & is realistic with the constructs of the sciences & society, where & why it was formed. Her ok`ness with both male & female influences are spot-on, which broadens her conception as apposed to narrow thinking.
I could go on & on. Saying all these things, because she is an academic, because her primary audience is academia, I have only read Sexual Personnae. My lovingly referred to book of soothing balm. i think her other books are pacifically for students, though I stand to be corrected on this one.

Over her in UK women from the original sixities outlook like Germaine Greer, have lost their booster-thrust & seem to be still resolving personal issues which affect the way they have moved on.
