@strypey I've been thinking about this a lot. So many things and people could be discredited due to being associated with child-rapists. But maybe that's what should happen?

I don't know what a proper feminist solution would be, but if it is to cancel most or nearly all powerful and influential men and their ideas and systems and technologies throughout history, I could see dumping what led us to climate change, enshittification, fascism, billionaires, etc being not such a bad thing.

Turns out that Chomsky isn't a flawless saint, because there's no such thing. He's a flawed human being, just like the rest of us. If we push his entire body of work down the Memory Hole because of these flaws, then sooner or later everyone's work ends up in there.
