Quote: What has happened to her to make her views so extreme?
Good question. I know she faced some sexual harassment at a law firm she worked for many years ago (I'll buy you any swimsuit from this catalog if you promise to try it on for me) and then, when she moved from law to academia, she also took some "Womens Studies" courses, and maybe it just hit her at an impressionable time. Oh, and then there's the whole, "my dad is a jerk" thing. Her dad would say things to her like "how could you be so stupid?", and other treatment that was designed to make her feel less of a person.
Now, hearing that, your first response might be, "Well, she just needs to get herself to counseling." She was in counseling prior to me meeting her. I think that she thinks she is "cured." It would be hard to get her back there.
