Loretta Kemsley is editor-in-chief of Moondance magazine,
a feminist magazine focusing on women’s issues internationally. That is well
and good; unfortunately Loretta Kemsley herself is a relativist denialist of
the worst kind – the type of fanatic nutjob that (explicitly, in fact) rejects
any evidence that goes against what she already thinks are the claims that
would best serve her political agenda.
For instance, Kemsley has written rabidly angry screeds
purportedly refuting evolution.
The reason evolution is false, is because the theory was devised by misogynists
in the 19th century and is being used by misogynists today to
justify, well, misogynism. Which, of course, is not a reason to believe that
the theory is false, but that, of course, is too subtle a point for Loretta
Kemsley.
She does, indeed, provide another argument or two to bolster
her case for the falsity of evolution. Those arguments she got from none other
than Jerry Bergman.
Yes, that Jerry Bergman.
Diagnosis: Loon. Kemsley is one of quite a few
post-modernist-inspired newagers whose beliefs, it seems, is based on the
assumption that everything is politics and therefore just unjustified opinion.
Moron.
