A second article documenting a campaign of disinformation by said group is nearing completion, and will be shared here.
Talk:Walter L. Williams
I have tried to make it clearer why I made this page. A very important figure, in my view. And, the story about hypocrite feminist Victoria Brownworth will be of interest. --Prue (talk) 12:59, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- We have to be careful, is there anything in the book listing Brownworth as a sex partner, or just grooming? --The Admins (talk) 14:00, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Williams does not allege / criticize Brownworth. I am making a connection between Littauer's article which discusses Kate Day and Brownworth, and the hypocrisy of her criticizing Williams.
The full relevant passage from Littauer, 2020, p. 103:
She first met radical feminist Victoria Brownworth when she was fifteen or sixteen, after Brownworth put up flyers at Girls’ High saying that she wanted to speak with high school feminists. Day called the number on the flyer and ended up taking the train downtown to be interviewed at Brownworth’s apartment, where she met other adult lesbians, including Brownworth’s lover. The couple began showing her the bars, helping her act tough enough to get in, and helping her learn the etiquette of working-class lesbian Philadelphia. Like Vazquez, Day said that the adults told her she was “jailbait” and that they had to be careful, but they mentored her anyway, including, ultimately, one time, in bed. They had a cot for the teen to sleep on during nights when she snuck out of her family home and joined them at the bar or house parties, and one night Brownworth’s butch lover came out of the bedroom saying that they were thinking that Kate might want to “learn the ropes” in bed. During my interview with Day, she responded to my raised eyebrows by confirming that there was, indeed, “no need to twist my arm.” She was definitely game. She had experimented sexually with peers in the past, but she welcomed the opportunity for sexual mentorship from an adult, butch lesbian. She said:
It was clear that it was their — both their idea — and ... it was not an attempt to involve me in a threesome emotionally, or in any other way. It was like, you know, part of the boot camp. Lesbian boot camp, you know, baby dyke ... that’s, you know, kind of how I ... in that particular circle of people kind of — had that — played that role or fell into that position within their world.
