These events occurred within a month of an incident in Professor David Rosenberg’s first-year torts class in which the often-blunt professor stated that “Feminists, Marxists, and the blacks have contributed nothing to torts.” According to a later clarification, Rosenberg was referring to Feminist, Marxist, and black Crits, but this made no difference. In the already-tense climate of HLS, his comments did not go unpunished. Administrators would later declare attendance of Rosenberg’s course to be optional, effectively repudiating the Socratic method—HLS?...
Richard Simons, a Colorado psychoanalyst and writer on masochism who attended the session, agreed with Spitzer. "It's not scientifically valid to throw out a category merely because it might be misused," he said. Otherwise, Simons seemed to embrace the entire feminist position. Psychiatrists confronting battered women should not sit around pondering categories, he said. They should get out of their chairs and get the woman some physical protection.

"First of all, she doesn't want to get married, doesn't want to husband-steal," Richardson...

"The first thing the producer said to me," she recalls, "was, 'Are you a feminist?' Well, of course I'm a feminist. But I knew that if I said yes, I'd lose the job. So I said no." Other first-time directors, like Actress-Director Lee Grant (Tell Me a Riddle), were cowed with tough-guy analogies: a director must be a field marshal, a quarterback...
