Re: No, No, Don't Worry. Sexism is Pretty Much Over.
Yeah, I've come across that before. Really sinister shit. Back in the 50s, there was a push against secret societies (especially in high schools) in the name of anti-Communism. Democracy meant openness and free association; Communism represented secrecy and cults and demeaning rituals of loyalty. Or so the argument went. I don't disagree with the assertion that the Greek system runs counter to democratic civic values and encourages social stratification that can be carried on post-college. Which is why they'll never get rid of it.eumaas wrote:Came across this piece:

That's the first piece I've seen that really digs into why frats are so entrenched in the American university system. Cui bono, right?Dr. Medulla wrote:Yeah, I've come across that before.

That's really interesting about anti-Communism getting directed toward secret societies. Didn't the Birchers help revive anti-Masonry?

The only thing keeping "troubled men" from going into women's washrooms is this law, people. Remove that protection and the troubled will run rampant!
This is another example of the right's concerted retreat from intellectual discourse for the past several decades: any argument they put forth for their position now rests on dumb appeals to emotion (chiefly fear). The purposeful self-labotomy means one can't even respectfully disagree with them, because their behaviour doesn't merit respect.

Jesus fucking Christ, if Lance Berkman knew how to read, he would know that a trans person is far more likely to be harmed in a restroom than the cis person. I'd much prefer my son share a restroom with a trans person than this asshole.Dr. Medulla wrote:http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-l ... 39838.html

Was this a step forward or backward?

Aging feminists sure do hate young women, huh? (Or maybe being on Maher's show just drags everyone down to his dumb-ass level.)
