Ruined Snow Penis Stimulates Debate (Loony Feminist Alert!)

Harvard Crimson ^ | Monday, February 24, 2003 | HANA R. ALBERTS

[Callahan]

I remember this funny Jeopardy-type game show where three Harvard coeds squared off against three of community college students. The intellectual snobbery of the Harvard students was on full display as they turned down their liberal noses at the "little people." Hilariously, all the questions pertained to TV sitcoms and pop-metal bands instead of Marx and Sontag. The community college slackers kicked their arrogant butts back to Boston.

They probably ate it.

Now THAT is highly doubtful!

[Ichneumon]

they never imagined it would be so hard to keep it up.

The 9-foot snow phallus, constructed in Tercentenary Theater, was torn down just hours after its erection.

But Skey said he thinks that at a school like Harvard, jokes can be blown out of proportion.

Writer Hana Alberts deserves some sort of award...

[Cvengr]

Guess we better not say anything about the shape of that opening we broke through the lake to go ice fishing.

[wimpycat]

ROFLMAO!

Why the "snip"?

Ouch!

This can't be for real. All that priapic innuendo in the article...

“As a feminist, pornography is degrading to women and creates a violent atmosphere,” she said.
.

.
“It was gendered violence, because [their comments] were said in the context of our gender and accompanied by aggressive actions toward us.”

I seriously can't believe there are people in the world who use sentences like this with a straight face.

“Women do not need to be reminded of the power of the symbol of the male genitalia,” Rosenfeld said.

“My guess is that they are constantly reminded of it in daily messages.”

Oh bite me Rosenfeld.

[Cvengr]

As soon as it's brought to light this whole big thing will melt away.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

The next time anybody says that someone is brilliant because they went to Harvard, I'll remember this article.

It is just like the movie PCU.

[Izzy Dunne]

She said the snow penis follows a long line of public phallic symbols, including the Washington Monument and missiles.

Gee, Dr. Goddard, the pancake-shaped missiles aren't flying very well. Perhaps we should try a different shape, maybe pointy?

Oh no, Jack. What would women think?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

It sure brought a smile to my face. The prof and the "victims" will read it and think they're vindicated, everybody else will see the big joke.

[johniegrad]

Because they create a hostile dining environment, I haven't been able to eat clams in years.

[Pearls Before Swine]

These feminists are so ignorant they didn't realize that all they had to do was leave the snow penis alone for a while--sooner or later it would have just melted away.

[Semaphore Heathcliffe]

The only person I know to have gone to Harvard is also the most blatantly leftist and PC person I know.

[Sender]

She said the snow penis follows a long line of public phallic symbols, including the Washington Monument and missiles.

Don't forget swords, cigars, baseball bats, motorcycles and laser pointers. It's OK though, the feminists can symbolize all they want over donuts, hula hoops and the number 'zero'. I don't mind ;)

[linn37]

attacking a giant penis with cardboard rolls? now thats a story lmao

[Cvengr]

You must've met the conservative one.

[Izzy Dunne]

There isn't much of anything one could say about this that isn't funny.

I'll tell you what's not funny: SHE'S SERIOUS!

[MikalM]

Public displays of genitalia are not appropriate. This isn't a feminist issue, it is a public morals issue.

Check Post #14.

[templar]

You don't think this person is perhaps already a little over the edge?

Oh, she's as loony as a fruitcake. Or a Californian. But it doesn't take away from the idea of public morals and public displays of genitalia. She's right about the inapropriateness of the display, but her reasons are as stupid as the display itself (IMO).
