My first thought was also a parody, but sadly no. From the Taylor-Francis website of abstract of “scientific journals”

A pic of Professor Lloro-Bidart is posted with the piece on The Coach’s Team website. She’s not bad. But then, neither was one of the gals who hung with Charlie Manson!

This may merely be a campfire story. I have no proof of its veracity. But I knew an old hunter/trapper who would shoot an American Red Squirrel on sight. He said that male red squirrels were known to go up a tree, catch a gray squirrel asleep in his nest, and bite through the gray squirrel’s testicles; effectively castrating him. The old guy swore it was true. FWIW.

No worries. Taxpayers pay for these kind of studies at state run universities.

She’s nuts.

BTW, the squirrel the cats let loose in the house yesterday has yet to be seen. They seem to think it made it back outside. Hope so. For a while there, we had the chair from Big Bang.

Plainly, the professor has a thing for those bad boy eastern fox squirrels. Maybe she is a furry.

Cal Poly used to be known and respected as a science and engineering center of education and discovery; recall Prof. Richard Feynman. But “Liberal Studies?” I think the only place liberal studies ought to be undertaken is in a psychiatrist’s office.

A classic Democrat - a barking at the moon lunatic.

Just remember three words, folks: Publicly. Funded. University.

We're paying for this crap. We need to do something about it.

The Cal Poly associated with Prof Lloro-Bidart is
definitely not the same Cal Poly highly regarded by
publications such as FORBES and US News and World Report.
That Cal Poly is located in San Luis Obispo. The workplace
of Lloro-Bidart is in Pomona and is an off-shoot of
Cal Poly SLOtown and, unfortunately, was not required to
totally change its’ name when it gained complete
independence from SLO in the 1960s.

Many Southern Californians (FReepers excepted)
don’t realize that there is anything outside of their
world so they don’t know that another Cal Poly
exists beyond Pomona.

Squirrels are rats with fluffy tails & good PR.

Do you have the right Cal Poly? Re: post #51

Wasn’t Feynman associated with Cal Tech?

I’ve heard similar stories, but thought it was vice-versa...the grays after the reds.

A squirrel is just a rat with better PR

I was going to post the same thing.

...she worked towards such a conclusion by analyzing the coverage of eastern fox squirrels through “feminist posthumanist,” and “feminist food studies” lenses.

This is either an academic spoof, a satire piece or insanity...

What purpose would such a paper accomplish ?

How does “Intersectionality” co-exist with a ban on “Cultural Appropriation”?

Right before Y2K, I stopped at my house on a work field trip inspecting various properties and, driving down my dead end street, saw ten squirrels sitting on my rain gutters and roof. All of them were muching on my asphalt shingles. After work, I stopped at the nearest Dick’s Sporting Goods and bought the cheapest powerful spring-powered pellet rifle they had. A Gammo for around $120 that shot .177 lead hollowpoints at 1,000 f.p.s.+. The next day I arranged my work schedule so that I could stop for lunch at home while my wife was at her office working. Driving down the street, there were more than ten of those bastards enjoying my shingles. I parked the car across the street, pulled out the Gammo and opened the tin of pellets. In Carlos Hathcock fashion, I nailed ten of them on the roof and sitting on the gutters whithout the others noticing. It was a pretty quiet rifle. Couple of years later at the new house, the second day after moving in I’m sitting by the pool and two squirrels jump down on the lawn from one of the maple trees. I go inside and get the Gammo and tin of pellets. Two dead critters later and there were no squirrels in my back yard for over a year.

Any questions?
