Feminist activist ‘caught out’ live on air

I want to share with you a stunning snippet of a progressive or leftist hero caught up live on air prominent feminist activist Naomi Wolf is the author of the beauty myth and has been an advisor in the past to Bill Clinton and Al Gore and celebrated by the liberal left worldwide she's got a new book out it's called outrages sex censorship and the criminalization of love and a thesis relies at least in part apparently on the fact that there were people executed in the UK for what were then crimes such as homosexuality much later than previously thought but publicizing the book live on BBC radio her interviewer Matthews we explained to her that she'd misinterpreted a legal term death recorded it was a brutal fact check live to we're have a listen mentioned of penal servitude for 10 to 15 years and I found like several dozen executions but that was again only looking at the old bailey records in the crime tables absolutely dozen execution correct and this correct a misapprehension that is in every website that the last man was executed for sodomy in Britain in 1835 I don't I don't think you're right about this one of the cases that you look at the salient in your report is that have Thomas silver it says teenagers were now convicted more often indeed that year which is 1859 fourteen-year-old Thomas silver was actually executed for committing sodomy the boy was indicted for an unnatural offense guilty death recorded this is the first time the phrase unnatural offense entered the Old Bailey records Thomas silver wasn't executed death recorded I was really surprised by this and I looked it up death recorded is that is what in I think most of these cases that you've er you've identified his executions it doesn't mean that he was executed it was a category that was created in 1823 that allowed judges to abstain from pronouncing a sentence of death on any capital convict whom they considered to be a fit subject for pardon I don't think any of the executions you've identified here actually happened well that's a really important thing to investigate what is your what is your understanding of well what deaths recorded means yes recorded this is also from I've just read you the definition of it they're from the Old Bailey website but I've got here a newspaper report about Thomas silver and also something from from the prison records that that showed the date of his discharge the prisoner was found guilty and sentence of death was recorded yeah I recommended the prisoner to Mercy on account of his youth see I think this I think this is a kind of when I found this I didn't really know what to do with it because I think it is I think it's quite a big problem with your argument so there you are the facts in a wolf's clothing that's one way to generate publicity for your book to be fair wolf appears to have taken at will thanking sweet for pointing out her error and promising to edit new editions of the book to make sure they are correct but well that is a brutal fact check live to air

And she didn't remove her book from stores, or retract it, or change her thesis at all. http://archive.is/g5Dzs

As of now, this is why her book has not been allowed to be released in the US. https://archive.is/rhdXf

Feminism is for the most part research fraud and distroted history and facts. Some of it is good. But too much bullshit for it too be useful.

Its research fraud is why feminism hasn't acheived much in terms of actually dealing with social issues such as murder, rape, DV etc but has of course made feminsits very rich in book sales, tenured professors, running departments, shelters employing people and getting volunteers to do the rest, CEOs of womens charaties on $7.5 million and known to do fraud (In UK just as bad Refuge CEO on around $500,000 with benifits and known to have a toxic work environment which ironically for a DV charity had severe bullying and harrasement with 20 people leaving, family members promoted in paid jobs, she got them to work on her book (more $$$) for free and didnt pay them profits etc)... its all a money making scam...

And of course feminisms works are from people with mental illnesses or personal abuses as Erin Pizzey (the woman who opened up worlds first womens shelter but then when she said some of the women there are violent and DV is a family issue not some weird feminsit patraichy bull shit she got death, bomb, rape threats, they killed her dog, stole her book from book shops and forced her to flee country) states:

This is an interesting point in that many of the feminist discussions on Reddit boards include alot of recommendations to read feminist literature, but not references to good, peer reviewed scientific literature documenting the impact of the philosophy on the kinds of social issues or societal functioning that should be getting better according to their decades long arguments.

She seems quite understanding in the interview after learning of her mistake. It doesn’t seem like an intentional misinterpretation.

“Death recorded” after a guilty sodomy conviction would be a fair enough assessment that the person was executed.

Feminist love language control and to the exploit eventuality out of it.
