This is a quote from our Uni's president's statement:
Professor went further. He stated that Ms. Fluke’s position deserved “only to be ridiculed, mocked and jeered.” He further stated that the right word for her position was “extortionist,” characterized those who disagreed with his view as “contraceptive sponges,” and added that there is nothing wrong with being paid for sex.
Professor Landsburg has the right to express his views under our University’s deep commitment to academic freedom. And, of course, no reasonable person would ever assume that he speaks for the University of Where I am .
I also have the right to express my views. I am outraged that any professor would demean a student in this fashion. To openly ridicule, mock, or jeer a student in this way is about the most offensive thing a professor can do. We are here to educate, to nurture, to inspire, not to engage in character assassination.
I engaged the crazy anti-BC police on FB this morning.
This is why you need a Badonkadonk.
I engaged the crazy anti-BC police on FB this morning.
I'm currently debating whether to do the same, or block and move on. But in the meantime, all my hairpats are belong to you, brave warrior.
I don't think Prof. Landsburg is getting tenure.
I am on the BC, but celibate, so? it's all very confusing.
The conversation began with Fluke lying about her age and that her affiliation with reproduction rights group. I copypastad the transcript where she introduces herself as a third year law student and former president of the reproductive rights group.
He will not concede that he's wrong. It's fascinating. It then turned to, "she wants the gov't to pay for her sex!"
No, she's arguing that there shouldn't be a religious exemption to health care, that she's paid her premiums and it should be covered.
He then posted a Reagan quote about abortions, and I realized I was dealing with a complete moron.
I not on BC. Also NGA. It makes me feel pathetic not smug and virtuous.
I'm on BC so I can continue to afford food for the babies I already had via heterosexual monogamous married sex. Woo, so slutty!
[edit: I also realized that by Rush Limbaugh's logic, I would need to have a new IUD inserted every time I had sex. Which would be an incredibly strong argument in favor of abstinence.]
I'm just wondering what polling numbers and marketing information the Republican candidates are using which is telling them that this is a winning plank in their platform.
Did they forget that women have the vote?
