"Was there something particularly abhorrent about the series?"
1. it was created in the late 90s
2. named for louise raggio, a democrat
3. first speaker was gloria steinem
4. Patricia Schroeder (radical leftist who tried to weaken our military with the tailhook scandal)
aside from that-- the fact that it was a "women's studies" lecture series is enough to raise red flags for those who are familiar with the left. women's studies courses at the university level are filled with nothing more than marxist feminist drivel, hate men, hate marraige, "its a woman's right to choose" --and other feel good leftist rhetoric.
my girlfriend in college took a women's studies course, we laughed about some of the crap they tried to shove down her throat.
finally, im not sure how independent womens forum could support someone who was pro-affirmative action. but then egain, im not them.
cheers!
well, at least she didn't let it be named "womyns studies"
Thanks for explaining why there was something particularly abhorrent about the series.
