The Peoples DemocRATic Republic of Ithaca EVIL!!!
"Madison is a piker compared to Ithaca..." LOL!
Then I shall learn at the Foot of the Master and know what to start screaming about to the City Council & my local conservatice talk show host if I see them doing something "Ithica-ish." Maybe that way we can fend it off or at least slow down the erosion. Fore-warned is fore-armed!! :)
give out free condoms and information about safe sex, as well as novelty chocolates in the shape of birth control pills
Wait a minute!! Which one am I supposed to use? Crap, now I'm confused!
I have to admit that I couldn't read anything after those three words.
I thought feminists did not even want or need a man. It would seem a battery powered, artifical device would be more appropiate then a condom that, would require a man they despise.

Geez, guys, Laura McKenna appears to be an attractive 22-yr-old young lady, who happens to have feminist beliefs. I don't know the girl from Adam's housecat, and I'm not defending her position. But look here for a picture of her from a couple years ago. She's certainly no Janet Reno. On the other hand, her expression looks pretty severe; she's certainly no Britney Spears, either. But maybe she's just p*ssed off at the guys following her. ;-)
I see the problem. She has a big butt and they guys are not paying any attention to her.
You don't pay attention to them -- hell has no wrath then that of a women scorned.
It was known, although not by the name AIDS, in the late 70's, in the SanFrancisco area. So it's entirely likely that students at UCB would know about the syndrome from its symptoms. So "aware" is accurate, although your term "identify" is only applicable later.
In the early years it went by a number of names, including the "Gay Plague" and others, because it was sprouting up in the gay community. It wasn't named "AIDS" until many years later in the 80's. Any credible book on the history of AIDS would be able to give you more precise dates, but those are approximately correct.
She's the one in pink.
I must confess my aversion to "Ithaca College Feminists" was due to my assumptions about their IQ and attitude.
Good point.
> You don't pay attention to them -- hell has no wrath then that of a women scorned.
You sure got that right. She does sort of have that attitude about her. She's a senior this year, by her entry in the college directory, BTW. I'm not willing to bet that she mellowed much in the intervening years, either, if she's heading up the Feminist Whatever.
Dang, then she can't be completely offbeat -- a truly maniacal feminist would avoid pink because it's a "girl" color, right? Actually, that group of girls is kinda cute overall. I'd invite 'em to lunch... so long as we didn't talk feminist politics, of course...
> I must confess my aversion to "Ithaca College Feminists" was due to my assumptions about their IQ and attitude.
In my experience, they're no less intelligent than normal, but the attitude is something else entirely. Intelligence doesn't necessarily connote either "being correct" or "having one's sh*t together".
I once had a piece of my writing posted to a lefty website, and the comments were rather eye-opening.
Only if it doesn't include our email or postal addresses. I don't need the Political Correctness Police visiting my house. Of course, maybe the big American Flag flying on the front porch would scare them away. ;-)

I imagine so. OTOH, I'm not sure that anything she read by a bunch of guys on FR is going to open her eyes. It would more likely only convince her that we're a band of troglodites. Which is pretty funny, actually.
I thought candy was out. Shouldn't they be handing out healthy food, like cucumbers? Oh, wait, never mind.
Thank you for that mental image.... NOT.
You know, there's a website that caters to that fetish. Maybe we should send the girls a link... Nah, if we're talking Ithaca College, they probably host that website from the dorm.
For your persusal.
She looks like that Dixie Chick who dissed the President to me. I call "feminazi."
