"Students for Academic Freedom" sounds very interesting. As a conservative who got ahead by keeping my mouth shut, I support that concept whole-heartedly. Here is a link to their website:
studentsforacademicfreedom.org

I would like to take umbrage at the concept of "post-feminism." The older posters on this thread may recall a time when women's options outside the home were far more limited than they are today. As someone who did my bit for women's lib and took a lot of guff, I resent the term "feminist" being co-opted so that today it's synonymous with man-hating and abortion on demand up until the end of the third trimester.

I find it richly ironic that Maureen Dowd is bemoaning the feminist movement on the basis of whether or not men find her, and women like her, sexually attractive.

I wish my grandmother was still alive to tell her what it felt like to work your entire life in a family business but have no legal right to a share of the property because it was titled solely in the name of her husband. She wanted a divorce but stuck around rather than give up a share in the fruits of her labor.

I wish my great grandmother was still around to tell her what it felt like when the only job women were allowed to have outside the home was as a housemaid.

Anybody who has forgotten this history deserves to have to repeat it.
