It’s an outrage!

No, not AIG.  Women’s Studies!

Shorter <a href=http://www.mindingthecampus.com/originals/2009/03/the_left_reacts_to_horowitz.html>Mark Bauerlein</a>: When David Horowitz is right, he’s right.  And he’s right to be outraged that the web site of the Women’s Studies program at Penn State proclaims that “as a field of study, Women’s Studies analyzes the unequal distribution of power and resources by gender.”

<i>My reply</i>: I used to be on the left.  But when I heard that the web site of the Women’s Studies program at Penn State proclaims that “as a field of study, Women’s Studies analyzes the unequal distribution of power and resources by gender,” I got really outraged by Mary Daly.

<strike>Shorter</strike>Verbatim Mark Bauerlein: “what if biased attitudes prevail only in a half-dozen departments? If academics accept those levels, then they exercise a lower standard of accountability than any other profession.”

<i>My reply</i>: My studies show that Women’s Studies is responsible for tainted peanut butter, Rod Blagojevich, <a href=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29142654/>juvenile court payoffs</a>, and especially, <i>especially</i> AIG.  Which makes academe the most corrupt profession ever, times infinity.
