Dead0man is, of course, trolling you a bit (it's his thing as I'm sure he'd gleefully admit), but he's actually got a legitimate point in this instance. With a couple of exceptions the New Left was - for the most part - stridently, shockingly and disgustingly sexist.* And also hypocritically so, because even if it was only as bad as society at large (which, alas, is not so) organisations that claim to stand for the liberation of humanity and all that really ought not relegate 50% of it to an essentially servile role.

*One reason for the... er... perhaps somewhat over-enthusiastic nature of the radical fringes of c.1970s Feminism was a pretty conscious backlash against this.

This is of course entirely true but I will point out that as far as offenders go the SDS were far from the worst. The harder Yippies and Hippie activists (important not to confuse these two with the New Left as a whole) were far worse.

Yes. The SDS were positively charming in comparison to that delightful crowd...
