Lonely and NOW disgusted.

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

This is why, though I believe in equa­lity for all and know there is a long way to go, I’m not fond of screeching illo­gi­cal feminism.

The Pre­si­dent of NOW NY put out a press release dra­ma­ti­cally tit­led “Sena­tor Ken­nedy Betrays Women by Not Stan­ding For Hillary Clin­ton for President.”

In a fine effort to humi­liate all woman, she shows her­self to be the ste­reoty­pi­cal pre­mens­trual female una­ble to think clearly during that time of the month. The woman, obviously at some per­so­nal psycho­lo­gi­cal tip­ping point of her own, emba­rras­ses woman everywhere by sho­wing just how ridi­cu­lous and illo­gi­cal a femi­nist screa­ming in unmi­ti­ga­ted rage can appear.

Though it appears there is no rea­so­ning, only anger, behind this, and absent from her com­plaint is any disap­point­ment in power­ful woman who have endor­sed Obama, her rea­so­ning is there, under it all, it’s just not sound. To be on the side of woman you must vote for a woman, even if that woman is a power hungry minx, who is being cons­tantly prop­ped up by her
hus­band, and has a less than ste­llar pro­gres­sive voting history.

Les­son num­ber one: There is no book, so wha­te­ver book you are going by throw it away.

Grad school is a place full of colla­bo­ra­tion and con­sul­ta­tion which seems, des­pite it all, to have poten­tial for a cer­tain degree of lone­li­ness, the lone­li­ness which comes with kno­wing what you do is more yours, and yours alone, than anything you have done in the past.

Enjoy your lonely, (con­cert), song of choice.

The real coo­per will return some­time later this week.

Peace
