they do so because WOMEN HAVE VAGINAS!!!

Why does a simple biological response need to be so horrifically hyperintellectualized?

It's all bullshit, I tell you. All bullshit.

2. The first time my daughter saw a naked baby boy she was
probably about two and she said "Baby Hunter has an owie on his vagina" So much for penis-envy being the norm :)

8. What's even worse is a feminist theorist who mixes Freud with Marxist logic.
Geesh...

7. We objectify women because women have neato in-and-out-bits that we
want to play with. We're uncertain of our ability to convince women to let us play with said bits, so we objectify women to remove (in our imaginations) the possibility of rejection.

If women would grant us access to those bits on a frequent, permanent, and unquestioned basis, we would lose our insecurity and the objectification would stop.

9. We objectify women because testosterone makes us weak and stupid
i.e. the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

10. huh
I consider myself a feminist but I can only handle so much academia-feminism. I've seen too many women use it as a cover for their sexism.

11. you say hyperintellectualized as though your job didn't depend on it
Edited on Sat Feb-07-09 10:24 PM by fishwax
As an academic, hyperintellectualization to the point of irrecognizability is part of the job description ;)

As a fellow grad student myself, I sympathize :toast:

19. I don't wish to enter the academy, actually...
or that's my plans for now.

Perhaps later I'll penetrate that institution, but right now, I prefer to remain virginally independent.
