Feminist's Specious Reasoning hasn't changed since I was on campus fiftee......(cough) several years ago. It's the primary reason why I became conservative.

Disgusting. And their definition of rape trivializes those that have suffered through the actual crime.

Campus Feminism has nothing to do with empowering women. It's only about Power, period. It achieves this by denigrating all men and belittling women that are capable of rising above the herd and individually accomplishing something.

I'm in a technical, male-dominated field. The women that I work with are some of the most independent and intelligent women that I know, and they'd all, to a woman, be incredibly offended if it was suggested that they got to their positions by anything other than hard work (they'd be right, too!). Not a lot of room for affirmative action or feminism when the fortunes of the company are riding on the decisions made. And I've sat through hundreds of meeting where managers have wished aloud for two more engineers, or techs, or electricians, or doctors, or......etc etc etc. Never been in one where anybody said "If only we had one more Women's Studies major, we could get this project done." That's the most telling ancedote of all, I think.

/rant off. Thanks for listening!

Great post! I've never understood that major.

And that's the truth about all this. Good post!
