Now she teaches at the New School and  runs a  good magazine about welfare policy, full of useful historical and cross-cultural information. Not too many philosophers are doing something so valuable! As an academic and a philosopher, she tends to oppose the "postmodernist" people you also dislike. So what if she's not your idea of a socialist feminist?  Why is it so important to you that everyone accept your version of marxism down to the last comma?  Reasonable people can think differently without one of them being an evil sellout.
