SEATTLE - Officials at the University of Washington's women studies department believe they've found the perfect man for the chairman's job.
And he is a man - reversing a 35-year UW tradition of assigning the post to a woman.
Professor David Allen also will be the only man in charge at the 10 major universities that offer doctoral programs in women studies. In Seattle, the appointment is getting mixed reviews.
"It's not so much risky for me individually as it is politically. One way to interpret this is, 'Here's yet another white guy claiming to have expertise over women,'†" Allen said. "Another position is that relatively few women hold administrative positions, so why on earth would the university make it worse by appointing a man to a women-studies program?"...
Nancy Kenney, an associate professor in the department, said most people are stunned by the appointment...

FYI.
He's come a long way, baby.
Does he get to bring a dildo like those lady professors?
I couldn't help but chuckle here. Have you ever read all the course descriptions of courses taught at the UW Women's Dept? I consider myself pretty liberal on such matters, but some people would be amazed. And, yet, this appointment is what has its faculty "stunned?" LOL...
LOL...if this appointment had happened at a university in the south, no doubt it would be "evidence" of how backwards the "red states" have become.
heh I used to sign for for badminton in HS. The guys all laughed and asked why I was signing up for the sissy sport (all girls that is)....Well finally a couple caught on. However all this guys gonna get is alot of hairy armpits and short haircuts.
Any department whose name ends in "studies" should be dismantled anyway.
I went to the UW in the 80s....I dont remember it being so lefty....maybe I wasnt paying attn.
BRILLIANT!
Well, I don't know -- is there something "lefty" about appointing a man to head a department? I don't know that it's lefty or righty. It's suppose to be the best qualified woman, uh, I mean, person.
LOL....I've been meaning to tell you how much I have been chuckling by your other recent posts on threads I've been on, when you post these graphics or animation. :)
The stunning thing is that people can say, "Department of Women's Studies" with a straight face.
Why, do you think there should be a Department of Man Studies? I mean, we had "The Man Show" on tv, didn't we? :)
I don't acknowledge being part of any such "we."
Which is why Bush signed up for the Cheerleading squad.
"I get the cheerleaders before the quarterbacks get them."
This is really hilarious, it throws all the man-hating feminists for a loop - if they oppose him because of his gender they'll be violating the same sexual discrimination laws that they use as weapons every day.
Thanks!
How long until Tom Selleck is in charge of N.O.W.?
Ted Nugent for President of the Million Mom March! I sense movement!
What kind of dickless wonder would make a career out of the joke called "women's studies"?
