"The bottom line about abortion is this. Do you trust women to make their own moral judgments?"

Well, actually, I guess not.

"I'm not offended...This project isn't exactly something I want to spend my time looking at, but I'm not offended and if people could get past knee-jerk reactions and self-satisfaction I think there is a lot to be unpacked and considered."

I think the fact that you are not offended says a lot more about you, than the negative reactions from the people here who are overwhelmingly against her "art."

I think the university got wind of it, and confronted the student, who backed of after the religious right and other wackos started threatening her life. The university probably saw that this was REALLY bad, and threatened her with disciplinary action if she didn't recant. I knew a gay guy who's "art" project was to get "married and divorced" over and over.

Team players make better warriors. If aren't the spoiled product of a society that pretty much caters to your every whim, and serious, violent threats from men outside your community are real, then you want men who will make good warrior. Football is the obvious analogy to war, but most team sports have coordinated attacks abd defenses.

But I would want to know if they included surfing as an individual sport in the study. Since I've surfed since I was a kid, I bed that surfers trumps football players.

"How valid can this be?

And who cares? I can't imagine any men are going to change what they enjoy doing just to, allegedly, attract more women. No guy who is really athletic or competetive in any sport will care enough."

Never underestimate the power of the vagina.

for women's studies. A couple of decades spitting out vitriol and hatred doesn't give it credibility. Like the AAUW publishing a report that girls are being cheated in school, when in truth and in fact, they knew just the opposite was true. Calling all men rapists, like happened at Brown, allowing a Professor to keep men out of her class, like Daly...I hope it is dying.

you said:

"Women's studies consistently cranks out graduates who are up in arms about women making less money than men.

But oddly enough, women's studies doesn't teach you anything useful for making money."

In regards to William Kristol's piece, it is good to see the ideo-cons continued utilization of the dirty political tools crafted by Arthur J. Finkelstein to libel prominent Democrats. How dare the Democrats do their job by calling out the Administration on its illegal spying on American citizens.

The hypocrisy is stunning, especially coming from Mr. Kristol, this most prominent ideo-con. Kristol helped divert the United States and its citizenry, resources and lives away from the legitimate fight against terrorism, and into this stupidly executed, illegal and immoral folly in Iraq. Said action has helped destabilize the region, endangered our allies (especially Israel), and turned Iraq over to the terrorists, who have made it a terrorist training ground.

Such polemics coming from Mr. Kristol are always amusing. He didn't bother to serve himself, and his prominence in Washington circles among the corporate media and other venues of disinformation results only from his riding the nepotistic coat-tails of his prominent father. Now he is among the mostly irrelevant chattering classes, spewing polemics and diatribe, backed by sloppy political theories, which are supported by abhorrently poor scholarship.

You go Willie!

says more about her, than about Prescott. I suppose the pro-ana mia crowd don't want this fashion accessory polluted by the thought of an old, fat, man infringing on this particular victim chic society. Hey Prescott, don't you know, cool diseases are restricted to girls. Why don't you go become an alcoholic, pedophile, womanizer or wife-abuser. That would better fit our expectations. It would make it much easier to justifably hate you.

We certainly don't wanna feel empathy for you. I mean, yeah, you are "the man" and all.

the statement that "there are no women Marines" is borrowed from the Marine concept that there are no black or white Marines...we are all Marine Corps green.

"And even when Harding has sympathy for a man...

Broadsheet letter-writers will turn her into a caricature of a man-hating feminist. Funny how that works."

After this statement, I went back and reread the piece. I have to agree, it is not really a snide piece. I apologize for my earlier remark.

than the alternatives.

WM=Women Marine

-Men go through recruit training at either San Diego, or Paris Island, NC. Women are only trained in PI. If you are a PI Marine, you call San Diego Marines, "Hollywood Marines." If you are a San Diego Marine, you say to male PI Marines, "Paris Island is where they train women Marines."

BAMs=Broad Assed Marines.

I could have lots of gay guys arrested for giving me the gay "stare."

Another good question is, why do women want to watch little girls who were coached by men. It's not male jock culture has any more interest in gymnastics than they do figure skating. If it is really as bad as presented, it's like the coaches are pimping the gymnasts, and the audience are the Johns.

I don't think it was a hoax. I think Yale realized that it was a huge problem, and had her say it was a hoax. Second,I think that "pro-choice" activists realized it was a time bomb, that would offend the sensibilities of the average American.

and the overturning the conviction is outrageous. Though it should have been for attempted rape, unless he did the deed.
