Department of What. The. Fuck.
By Kathy G.
Washington University, the highly respected research university located in St. Louis, Missouri, is planning to award Phyllis Schlafly with an honorary doctorate.
Dude, I am so not kidding. See here.
Excuse me, but I'm gonna lose my lunch. While I'm retching away in the toilet, you can read the message below, which is from the Facebook group, No honorary doctorate for anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly:
Wash. U. will honor anti-feminist Phyllis Schlafly at commencement. WHAT?
This is the woman who lives the hypocrisy of having a career that takes her around the country lecturing "family values" groups on how women should stay home.
This is the woman who said of husband-wife rape, "By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape [sic]."
This is the woman who described sex education classes as "in-home sales parties for abortions." Do her views fit with the future the men and women of Wash U's graduating class see for themselves and their peers? Probably not. Then why honor her with them? Wouldn't having someone like her in the midst of Wash U's female graduates be incongruous at best, offensive at worst?

i was fuming when i read this yesterday

what a giant steamin' load o' shite. how DARE now accuse senator kennedy of 'SELLING OUT' simply because he endorsed someone with a penis. that is a RIDICULOUS thing to say. one should NOT endorse ANYONE for their gender. isn't that what we have been fighting against all along? it sure is what I'VE BEEN FIGHTING against all along. i would NEVER vote for someone JUST BECAUSE they are a WOMAN. NEVER NEVER NEVER. i'd vote for someone if i felt they were HONEST, COMPASSIONATE, MORAL, HAD A GOOD HEART, WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY AND IT'S PEOPLE, HAD SOUND PLANS AND IDEAS, and of course many more attributes. as far as i can see, hillary falls short on many of these. FAR SHORTER THAN BARACK OBAMA. you don't have to like ted kennedy. i don't care if you do or don't. but to endorse a candidate based on their gender is reprehensible to me. (and i'm talkin to YOU, 'now')
now can take a flyin' leap as far as i'm concerned. we can effing vote for or endorse whomever WE THINK IS THE BEST CANDIDATE. penis or not

Women's group slams Kennedy for 'betrayal'
CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Moone
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy is under heavy fire from a state chapter of the National Organization for Women for his decision to back Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton.
In a sharply critical statement, the New York state chapter of NOW took aim at Kennedy Monday for what it called an "ultimate betrayal," and suggested the Massachusetts Democrat "can't or won't" handle the idea of Clinton becoming President of the United States.
"Sen. Kennedy’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard," said the statement. "Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, hushed the fact that he was late in his support of Title IX, the ERA, the Family Leave and Medical Act to name a few.".......

you go boy!
