The staff's fanatical crusade on behalf of Harvard's oppressed women has reached comical heights. It has also clouded its reason. The staff trips over itself in its praise of Professor Gilligan while injecting only the mild qualifier that her work is "controversial." Her work is not merely controversial. It espouses a gender-based behavioral determinism that many women and men find offensive.
