In response to your previous message:  We often post articles/essays, etc. by people we disagree with here, in many cases to "deconstruct" them.  In fact, it is the very prominence that is one reason to discuss them here, in order to provide a forum analyze, and as the case may be, rebut their messages.

I am not promoting Badinter in the sense of advocating what she says or writes.  I have mixed feelings and am still learning about what she is saying.  But as I wrote below in response to afew, some of the issues she raised struck a chord with me, and I had not heard them discussed so overtly in the MSM before.  Part of the reason I wrote the diary was to see if others might be able to shed some light on her views and writings.
