Last week, feminists at Georgetown melted down over a visit by AEI resident scholar Christina H. Sommers claiming she makes them feel “unsafe” and demanded the talk carry a “trigger warning.”

But don’t think for a second that it’s just Georgetown that’s a problem.

Yesterday Ms. Sommers appeared at the very liberal Oberlin college in Ohio and was met by some of the same nonsense. Check it out:

OK, just so we're straight...

Christina Hoff Summers is not the sometimes high-profile feminist who signed on to help Al Gore with his wardrobe choices back in 2000.

That was Naomi Wolf, another sometimes high-profile feminist.

What? Sommers is nothing like Naomi Wolf.

Also, Naomi Wolf was hired to teach Al Gore how to be a man.

Sorry. It was kind of a note to myself.

Also, neither of them is Elizabeth Wurtzel, author of Prozac Nation, another sometimes high-profile feminist.

No, she's the feminist that wrote "The War Against Boys" when she saw how her three sons were being treated by the "system."

And these same people insist women are just as qualified for ground combat as men. I guess ISIS will have to give a “trigger warning” before attacking.

It would appear she taught Al Gore how to be a fat man.

Christina Hoff Sommers has been a breath of fresh air since 1994 when she wrote “Who stole feminism?”
She is one smart lady, knows the data and an effective debater. She does not mince words and she is not cowed by the sanctimonious whiners on the left.

??? Christina Hoff Sommers is hardly a feminist of any stripe, other than legitimate equity feminism.

OK, but that is a stripe, strictly speaking.

Dr. Sommers is way too smart for liberals to handle.
