A Feminist Accused of Sexual Harassment: Jane Gallop

As one of the well known feminist american proffesors of literature jane gallop wrote a book called “feminist accused of sexual harassment” in 1997. the book was about her case as a feminist professor who was accused of sexual harassment by two of her female students. in her book she defends her case and she also explicity condemns the current university policies which regard the consensual relations as a form of sexual harassment. in this paper, i will make an argument in favor of gallop’s position and will try to formulate a basic question around the debate. the question will be: while we the feminists are struggling against the sexist norms by using legal means, why and how are we inclined to reproduce or support those very norms?
