"..A lot of the style is very macho"

No offense to all you science majors...i wouldn't exactly call your average astrophysicist "macho"

Maybe we should rename it the Slumber Party Theory.

Is that Megan?

It appears that she might want it to be re-named The Donut-Bumping Theory.

This summer, when professors Bonnie Fleming and Helen Caines joined the Physics Department, they tripled its number of women professors.

They included these two pictures in the article:

But conveniently left out one of Bonnie Flemming

which noted, " Although Fleming said she is used to being in the minority, she has not had any blatant displays of prejudice against her in her career and finds the Yale faculty especially supportive." From the Yale Daily News

Perhaps she would be happier if the theory was amended to included 45 minutes of foreplay.

Forty-five minutes? That's just a start for some of these women.

Harvard College, the source of some advocates and judges that presided at the Salem witch trials. They are still involved with witchery.

Good point. I see women driving massive SUV's all of the time. They aren't exactly feminine, fluffy vehicles.

....will object to the word "seminar".

Too late!

Google "seminar ovular" and get links to things like....

'The Radical Feminist Account of Domination', paper presented at a Lesbian Studies and Research Group 'Ovular'--Distaff, 12 March 1990: 'Feminism and Sexuality: The Case of Political Lesbianism', paper presented at the Lesbian Studies Weekend, Sydney

I was thinking the same thing. Are women the same as men or not. I'm getting mixed messages from radical feminists on that point.

You've topped me on this one; fortunately, I've just posted a fresh article.

Next this loony will object to the word "seminar".

Feminists don't hold seminars, they hold ovulars.

"What troubles me is that I rarely saw men making...the choice to stay home with kids." It simply never occurs to her that men and women might actually be wired differently when it comes to preferences for a domestic life style.

If she lies in bed while the baby cries, telling her husband that it is his turn to get up, she is perceived as cold and unfeeling. Even though it is his turn and he should know that without being told — he should be subliminally listening for the baby's cry and leap out of bed the moment he hears it — he is not a monster — either to himself or to the baby's mother — if he does none of those things but mumbles that he is too tired. From the perspective of fairness, none of this makes sense.



What a load of hooey! I've told my wife at least once a week that if she gets a job that will pay all the bills, I'll be MORE than happy to stay home, raise our THREE kids, and do ALL the housework. It's about responsibility! I routinely am the one to get up in the middle of the night to change diapers, chase away the bad dreams, and coddle the kiddies. That's just a big ol' fat load of hooey!

Women also have trouble using resistance color codes.
