And just what are these hard lessons? If it's that feminism, the civil rights movement, and The Gay International have scored only partial victories that have left capitalism in place, I'd say, yeah, sure, I sorta knew that already and didn't need 50 gigabytes of alleged proof that Iran doesn't hang same-sexers and stone adulterous women because back in the 16th century every poet had a loverboy. If it means that those movements have in some sense made things worse by legitimating capitalism or some such, I'd have to say "horseshit."
