The article focuses on the policy adopted by feminist theologian Mary Daly to exclude men. Daly have the right to exclude men from her "Introduction to Feminist Ethics" course at Boston College? Gloria Steinem, Ellie Smeal and other well-known feminists say yes, she does, and so does this magazine, which ran Laura Flanders' "Feminist De-tenured" as a signed edit. This past spring 70-year-old Mary Daly was summarily de-tenured by Boston College when she refused, as had been her practice for a quarter-century, to admit a male student into her feminist ethics course.
