Well the professor had to think up something to justify her
salary and her position on the faculty. I bet poison ivy will be the
next "oppressed" life form on the planet to be championed.

Does anyone else think that Lloro-Bidart is a conservative troll? She’s sarcastically writing this liberal drivel and laughing at the liberal “you go girl!” affirmations and the conservative “what is this drivel?” denunciations?

In Spanish, lloro means crying.

Now wait a darned minute. “Squirrel Girl” climbs my steps most morning looking for a handout. I give her peanuts.

Should I call her “Squirrel Guy?” And refer to her as him? Which he may be.

Or should I call her “Squirrel Them?”

I suspect He, Her, Them doesn’t give a squirrel’s patoot just as long as the nuts are there. Ooops, how do I say NUTS in radicalfemineese?

. . . a recent academic research paper that eastern fox squirrels are subjected to a “gendered, racialized, and speciesist” form of media bias.

It's like she's playing Bullshit Bingo with those terms.

The first Mrs. Lurkin always referred to squirrels as “tree-rats.”

A friend of mine in Ohio posted several pictures of eagles picking up squirrels to feed the youngsters. He said that he counted 4 squirrels caught by the eagle and brought back to the nest. I don’t think that the eagle cared what race the squirrel was, but it did care about feeding the young ones.

This professor should stay away from squirrels, any kind of squirrels, because they’re going to mistake her for a nut.

Lloro-Bidart, an associate professor of liberal studies at Cal Poly

You guys may be on to something. Was wondering which CalPoly the professor allegedly teaches at. Have never seen that omitted before. And then there is the vague "liberal studies" which by itself should have been a red flag.

I often wonder what these people talk about in the faculty lounge.

Is it a sarcastic: “You think you’re so cool with your $80k grant to study racial bias among newborn babies, well, I’m applying for a grant on racial bias against and among squirrels. It’s amazing what the NSF will fall for. See if you can top mine for nonsense.”

Or is it a serious: “I am impressed with your $80k study on racial bias among newborn babies, so I’m applying for a grant on racial bias against and among squirrels. This will broaden your work. See if you can top mine for relevance.”

Or are they completely oblivious to everything and just stringing words with lots of syllables together and hoping no one else understands what they write either?

I have heard that beavers are also charged with a bias but not racial!

Feminists eat squirrels? Who knew?

*shrug* If they'll eat beaver, why not squirrel?

The war between the red squirrels and the grey squirrels has been going on here in the Northeast ever since I was a kid, and probably back to the days of Pocahontas.

So far, neither side has won.
