The aggressively ugly Mary Daly
Where is Mary Daly now? The outrageous feminist “theologian” died earlier this week and one can only breathe a sigh of relief that the world will no longer be perturbed and curdled, at least in person, by the brainless and indigestible wit of this man-hating, child-eating icon, a woman who said things such as:
If God is male, then male is God. The divine patriarch castrates women as long as he is allowed to live on in the human imagination;
and:
The fact is that we live in a profoundly anti-female society, a misogynistic “civilization” in which men collectively victimize women, attacking us as personifications of their own paranoid fears, as The Enemy. Within this society it is men who rape, who sap women’s energy, who deny women economic and political power.
Mary Daly was a toxin, a poison, a self-detonating bomb. She helped destroy the gratitude of women. She damaged the greatest and most anti-misogynist culture in the history of the world. If ever there was a case for burning books, this is it. The foolish and hateful works of Mary Daly should be placed in a pyre and consumed until they are ashes to be swept into the trash bin of time.
