Beethoven and the feminist obsesssion with ... well, goodness knows what

Yes, Beethoven is full of contrasts, the quiet several measures of tension that explode into magnificent, stunning release of loud volume. How does that simulate orgasm? One is normally very tense before the orgasm, not quiet and calm and under tension. Tension, yes, calm and quiet, no.

One might also look at Baroque art and announce the orgasmic contrasts between light and dark, or bright and soft, or russet and cream, or ...

In short, our feminist mothers were a bunch of self-aggrandizing idiots.

I believe that those who got fellowships at their universities--or book contracts, or editorships, or partnerships in a law firm, or positions of importance on the local museum council--still believe the junk they spewed in the Seventies. Their continued validation depends on it.

The rest of us most likely gave it up as patently silly twaddle.
