Feminism is dead, and Klein helped kill it.

I don't know how the claim could be made that Feminism Under Fire has logical flaws. The logic is tight and concise. Perhaps those who criticize Klein's work are misunderstanding the burden of proof. Since feminists are the ones that wish to change the status quo, the burden of proof lies with them. Klein does not have to attack every feminist principle, just enough to debase feminism. She does this very effectively.

coffin of feminist epistemology

I wonder why more feminists are not reading and responding to Klein, are they too afraid to take on her arguments head on?Klein has put the final nail in the coffin of feminist epistemology, philosophy of science and pedagogy. If feminism is still alive in academia it must be the walking dead.
