"Isn't this a stereotypical womanly squeamish reaction?
Shame on you, Nancy, for letting the sisterhood down."
Good one!

""I would've either blacked out or thrown up," said Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who stood up and left Summers' speech..."
I have advice for you, lady - grow up. The real world - of which you are emphatically not a part, being a faculty member of MIT - is not fair, is not pretty, is not nice. The real world is tough, unforgiving, and one needs a thick skin to survive. These types make me want to puke, as they are fine so long as everyone hews to their line of "progressive thinking" or "thought control". I really despise and have a huge degree of contempt for most academic types - and I was one of them.

Could not have said it better myself!! The Academy of today is a caricature of what it should be. Academic freedom died long ago. There are, however, islands of sanity in the academic sea of mediocrity. Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania is a small liberal Arts college where one can STILL get a real college education. The story of how GCC has maintained its academic freedom in this not-so-free society is one of real courage in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds. I encourage any parent or prospective college student to explore GCC and its story.
