This article about Sheila Jeffreys from the Guardian is great.
I am amazed by facts quoted such as,
"a Home Office paper [claims] that BSE can be transmitted through beauty products because [they] many contain bits of dead animal"
"Breast implants can contain brain, fat, placenta and spleen"
It also describes Jeffreys as citing "one example of a porn actor who sold bits of her genitals to "fans" over the internet after a labiaplasty operation."

Sound of one jaw dropping re: the porn star.
I think Sheila is an extremist, but ~we need extremists like her~, especially since things are leaning hard, very hard, in the other direction. Society is about compromises and negotiations. If someone like Sheila doesn't exist, we will get a different kind of extremism governing our lives.
Interesting article. Thank you for sharing it.
Thanks for the offer Laurelin, but after reading the article I dashed straight over to Amazon and bought myself a copy (plus two other feminist text that totalled about £3, bargain!).
Now I'm all excited!
