Kesher Talk

Bah, Humbug. I love to read him, but I usually don't post links to Lileks, especially if someone like Charles already has, because it would be redundant and I prefer to sniff out more obscure links. However, there are many LOL sentences, and - as a feminist who thinks "Women's Studies" had a very short shelf-life - this is my favorite:

You know, if every “Woman’s Studies” department was closed, and the student loans were used to create businesses that hired women instead of studied them like tragic butterflies impaled on the patriarchal pin, we might be better off. Granted, we’d be without PhDs theses like “Rape Symbolism and Beatrix Potter: A Rake’s Progress,” but the culture would survive; the only noticeable effect at all would be a 17% decrease in Frieda Kahlo poster sales, and a 50% decrease in 33-year old college students.

Amen.

UPDATE: Turns out Sullivan likes that paragraph too.
