"It isn't even the Kinsey Institute," observes Gathorne-Hardy. The building looks forbidding, cold and almost fortified. After a tearful recounting of her experiences, the programme concludes with this woman heaving herself beseechingly up the steps of the Kinsey Institute - apparently locked out and cold-shouldered by an inhuman collaborator of her abusive father, a scientist-monster who turned abuse into pie-charts and percentages. A horrible thought of course - but one for which there isn't a shred of evidence. With her mannered delivery, this self-appointed nemesis of Kinsey seems the epitome of the familiar fundamentalist far- right mix of sentiment and violence.įor purely dramatic purposes Tate recruits one unfortunate woman, who, abused by her father as a child, thinks that her father may have sent details of the abuse to Kinsey.
