ORIGINAL: catize quote:
"Take women's studies themselves. On the evidence proffered by Sommers, Patai and Koertge, and others, women's studies programs and courses are abysmal swamps of irrational dogma and hatred. The feminist classroom is an arena for emotions rather than intellect or analysis. Agreement with the ideology is mandatory." I agree that this is true sometimes. Years ago, I read a feminist commentary on D.H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterly's Lover. The commentary made it out to be a misogynist tale, misquoted his text and took sentences out of context to "prove" her points. I took it upon myself to read the novel, and found it to be not even remotely misogynistic. LESSON LEARNED: go to the source and decide for one's self. It is too easy to accept another's point of view, too many fail to do the mental work to question what an 'expert' states as fact. Well said, catize. Ignore the propanganda and go to the source.
