I sent him the following and will post a reply - if I get one;-)

Right On. Personally I would have spelled the word out, though. I submit for discussion that anyone who writes the esteemed Dr. Wade should refrain from putting *** in the f-word he is reported to have hurled (phrased in quotes of course). Some people can't say or write that word on principle, but the rest should fill his inbox with the expletive in all its glory. After all, he's the one that said it. Why should we 'nice it up' for him. It's a vile and disgusting thing to say, and only a vile, disgusting man would say it to a woman.

I have an engineering degree myself.... What are the philosophy and music majors going to do after graduation?

Engineering is one of the few majors that qualifies you for a job right after graduation. Preparation for a specific job is not the main purpose of a college education.

[codeword]

But what in the heck would I do with a women's study degree?

Preparation for a specific job is not the main purpose of a college education. That's what technical schools, business schools, and on-the-job training is for.

The reason why Women's Studies is not a legitimate academic discipline is that it is not a subject in the same sense as history or philosophy or chemistry or biology. Everything in Women's Studies could be taught in sociology, psychology, history, political science or antrhopology classes--except for the male bashing, which is not an academic subject, either.

My High School was pretty free of liberal propaganda when I traveled to other schools on math or science team meets I saw diffrent.

That's the problem WITH communism...a good economy appears to be based in individual self-interest...however, good human relationships are probably not...

Did you learn about Golda Meir, or did the class even bother to mention such evil hegemonic Zionist conservatives?

Parents need to have tighter control on the purse strings. Because they do not, college students taking bogus majors

This too can be abused with parents who have too narrow a view of what their child ought to study, especiaaly those types who desire to "relive" their own lives through the children. To some, subjects history or mathematics (a field I was interested in) are "bogus" majors.

We also had a "African" Frat that chained themselves together by the neck around campus as "slaves" and branded each other.

What do you mean by "African frat?" I belong to a fraternity, and we use Greek letters.

So, are you referring to a black Greek-lettered fratnerity, or a fraternity with an African name? Seriously. I wouldn't doubt it if there were a frat going by an African name.

I have a brand, too, by the way.

Do you have any links on the Jake Wade incident, Doc?

[FormerLib]

No --the feminist way is sperm banks or turkey basters.

Is it proper to refer to such offspring as "little basterds?"

[FITZ]

LOL!! Good one!

[erc5892]

actually, Wade did have his email address listed until a few days after the Kurtz story broke on National Review and my guess is he got so slammed with emails about his behavior he took his email off of the web. Fordham officials responded to several FR people and said they would investigate it and discipline him at the time but I never heard what happened after that. If he is still on the web page, he is still probably teaching his "advanced degree in nothing" material.

You ever seen me at a FReep? I'd just shoot the sh*t right back at those feministas!

[hillary's_fat_a**]

A women's studies course here at the University of Nebraska spent the first class of the semester chanting the word 'lesbian' over and over again, allegedly to 'get comfortable with using the word'.

Well, I suppose it's easier than repeating 'carpet muncher' or 'bush biter' or 'labia licker'...ROFLOL! Frankly, I thought the academic agenda at mid-western schools was more 'relevant' than what one might find at liberal schools on either coast.

"Will the Clinton supporting feminists take this kneeling down?"

The Clintons and the Clintonistas take everything else kneelng down!
