Kate Millet, who has empowered legions of affluent white girls that bothered to attend good schools finds herself victim of yet another social order dominated by men. In this instance, rampant development (which, hey, we happen to hate too) has forced her to make do with only 1700 square feet of city apartment. That’s right. Millet, who for several years has fought the redevelopment of her city digs from the farm she has upstate, finally fell victim to the virus that is Avalon Bay development. As compsenation, she suffers the indignity of having to scale down to a smaller aparment, which is only three or four times larger than most two bedrooms in her neighborhood. I don’t know about you, but I’ll miss Millet. I remember her selflessly working the flophouses, handing out sandwiches and free copies of Sexual Politics to winos and bums. Once you destroy the fabric of downtown like that, what can replace it? Million dollar lofts developed by sculptors who made their name attacking corporate profiteering? Maybe, but it won’t be the same.

And she didn’t trot out some rape analogy. Damn.
