Blogs Liberty and Power Wolf Redux
Feb 25, 2004Wolf Redux
Call me politically correct (my view on political correctness is that while academic leftists could use less of it, libertarians could use more of it) -- but I'm puzzled at Gene Healy's reaction to the Naomi Wolf / Harold Bloom story. In criticising Wolf for"typing breathlessly about this incident twenty years after the fact," he ignores the reasons she gives for doing so; they seem like pretty good reasons to me, and I hope her example helps to strengthen the courage of others. (I also don't see why Gene finds the vomiting incident implausible -- unless explainable in terms of alcohol or physical revulsion. It doesn't seem so to me.)
