Because How Would They Know You Don’t Want To Be Raped Otherwise?

Shorter Verbatim Harvey C. Mansfield: “To resist rape a woman needs more than martial arts and more than the police; she needs a certain ladylike modesty enabling her to take offense at unwanted encroachment.”

All heeders of the self-appointed defender of academic rigor‘s sage advice, however, will be happy to know that his emphasis on ladylike modesty has a defender among the self (and only self)-described “feminist” professoriate! Whether it’s useful to give such a name to ideological outlook that resembles Straussianism more than anything anybody else understands as “feminism,” I leave to the reader.
