Promiscuities by N. Wolf

Iīve been reading the second half of that book and Itīs confusing ... I canīt say "completly wasted , bullshit" , but I canīt say either "Itīs right" .
Itīs a mix between feminism , anti-feminism and bullshit . Stories about women , women from a generation , a time and a place , and their sexuality . (The stories are told by themselves)
Wolf wrote somewhere , almost at the end : "Itīs not about victims" ... Well ... Actually itīs the cry of victims ... Read the stories , youīll see how damaged those women are , but not "because of the men" , but because of the education they had , that dictated how they lived and remembered those experiences .


Should I waste more time with this Naomi Wolf?

Yeah, feminist, but not a particularly important one. You can't expect us to have an opinion of someone so specific.

I know who she is but I never read any of her books, I only read things like interviews and articles, and decided I didn't like her so much to check out any of her books. A lot of times it seems when she does give interviews or write articles she say a lot of stupid things about feminism, or tries to say something intelligent but isn't the best at writing so the message gets skewered.

She was on the Ali G show. She was pretty boring.
