Heterosexuality in question Book

I don't write a lot of reviews but upon reading some others here, I want to add my voice.
I see a lot of people dismissing Mary Daly because they don't agree with her on one point or another. I find this somewhat tragic. She has written here a very important book for feminism that introduced me to some very clarifying concepts I had not previously encountered. She brings it all together so we can see the common ties between as disparate phenomena as FGM in Africa, foot-binding in China, witch burning in Europe, and others.
Some of her writing is weird and very 1970s trippy to the modern eye, but sticking with it is worth any irritation that may occur.
What I really want to say is that reading any author who was writing in the past, even the recent past, we are going to come up against some ideas that have changed since then and we may be tempted to dismiss the author as out of touch with (our current) reality. I feel this is much more prevalent with feminist writers than anyone else. Readers expect perfection from feminists past in ways they do not expect perfection from other philosophers. And to dismiss Mary Daly out of hand because you've heard that "the second wave is transphobic" is a real shame for young women.
One of the biggest problems with feminism is that women of each new generation do not get the chance to discover and read the work that has already been done before and the wheel is constantly being reinvented. Now that we have the internet, there is no reason this situation needs to continue. We can access the work of feminists past any time we want to. A new way to prevent young women from reading the works of the authors of the "first and second wave" is to convince us that these authors are racist or transphobic or basic old biddies who shouldn't be taken seriously. This is tragic.
So please, even if you read these texts and disagree with parts of them, think about the life work these women put into their writing, the bravery and courage it took to say these things in the cultural climate of their times, and maybe give them the benefit of the doubt we so readily give male authors of "the classics".
