Women's Libbers Go Berserk !

       

Women's Libber Kills Husband !

"An avowed, self-described
WOMEN'S LIBBER
killed her husband !..."
 
I found some newspaper article
about a woman killing a man
and I photocopied it
and pasted it here

       

Women's Libber Kills Baby Boy !

"An avowed, self-described
WOMEN'S LIBBER
killed a baby boy !..."
 
Similarly,
I found a newspaper article
about a woman killing a baby boy
and I photocopied it
and pasted it here.

It Was Textbook Headline Writing !
 
"Times That Try Persons' Souls"
A columnist named Bill Akers
penned an article titled
"Times That Try Persons' Souls"
in The Sacramento Union
or in The Sacramento Bee
soon after our graduate student
had published that headline above
(Women's Libbers Go Berserk !)
Our graduate student had also just been discussing
the language censorship issue,
illustrated by the censored word "gal".
 
Our graduate student included a reproduction
of Mr. Akers colorful article
in his next Newsletter.
 
Bill Akers was writing a complementary
(and perhaps complimentary)
parallel article, it seemed.

This was a man who loved the English Language
and who could work it masterfully.
 
It was a brilliant and humorous work of art
that brought
Dr. Peter Mark Roget
back to us,
to stand with our graduate student
and with Bill Akers
and with all cavemen
in their quixotic quest
to stem the tide
of crazy political correctness
and Language Censorship.
 
Dr. Roget was the author
of the familiar "Roget's Thesaurus",
first published in 1852.
 
"If, perchance, on a cold and windy night,
a dark and distant cry
should startle you from your comfort with a chill,
it is not the wind blowing in the eaves...
 
"Tis not the baying of a lonesome hound you hear...
The baleful moan,
The mournful lament,
The pitious wail
are those of Dr. Peter Mark Roget...
 
"Never a believe in ghosts
nor given to the use of hyperbole,
nevertheless,
I'm as sure as I can be of anything
that Roget's shade
has returned...
wailing in protest !"
 
It went something like that, but written even better.
You get the idea.
 
Dr. Roget had come back to protest,
Akers explained.
Feminists editors at Roget's Thesaurus
were now editing the latest edition
of Roget's Thesaurus,
sanitizing it of offensive and sexist words
such as "caveman",
gelding the language,
 
The Bible's "A Man Born Of A Woman..."
would soon become "A Person Born Of A Person...",
objected Akers.
 
Suppose, suggested Akers
that a writer for some publication
posted the following headline,
 
Mailman Elopes With Heiress !
(our graduate student, who was also DELIVERING
The Newsletters that he was writing,
had a crush on a rich (female) foreign student back then)
 
"It was textbook headline writing," gushed Akers.
The reader right away knew
what the story was about,
that there were two sexes involved,
and which person was which sex, approved Akers.
 
Written by Roget's new editors, dissented Akers,
the headline must now read like this,
 
Mailperson Elopes With Heirperson!
leaving the reader completely uninformed
as to whether any sexes were involved at all,
and, if so, which was which.
 
What was most reprehensible, reproached Akers,
was that this defiling and neutering
of our language
now seemed to bear the imprimatur
of an eminently scholarly work,
Roget's Thesaurus.
 
Would these same editors, demanded Akers,
also recast into gender-neutral, hemaphroditic form
The Statue Of Justice
and The Statue Of Liberty !?
 
"I suppose they would," he lamented,
"for if they would defile a scholarly treasure
like Roget's Thesaurus,
there's little else that they would hold sacred."

 
*************************************************

So, Why Did Our Graduate Student Write A Headline Like That ?
(Women's Libbers Go Berserk !)
 
It just came to him.
It was like an inspiration."
The feminists were acting like people
who were going berserk, basically.
The things they were saying
and the way they were acting out
were just CRAZY.
 
Besides, this was just
typical of the rhetorical style of the left,
as far as our graduate student
had been exposed to it
over the previous 15 years.
 
He was just giving them
a dose of their own medicine.
 
They were very mocking
and easy with the facts,
just making stuff up
out of thin air -
you know, just making unsubstantiated accusations
because they conformed to their worldview.
 
He knew the left
like he knew his own backyard.
As a 17-year-old college student in 1968,
he had been caught up
in student protests
and political and social dissent
at a college in Jersey City
about 5 miles from Columbia.
He was part of the counter culture.
He'd seen it all as an insider.
He knew those motherfuckers from the inside,
you might say.
 
He knew they were full of shit
and would say whatever the hell they wanted.
 
"Or as Mark Rudd boasted,
'Let me tell you, we manufactured the issues.
The Institute For Defense Analysis
is nothing at Columbia.
Just three professors.
And the gym issue is bull.
It doesn't mean anything to anybody.
I had never been to the gym site
before the demonstration began.
I didn't even know how to get there'".
 
(from "The Troubled Crusade
American Education 1945 - 1980"
by Diane Ravitch, 1983)
 
And sacramento,
where our graduate student's
state university was,
seemed to be world-central
for nutty feminists.
charles manson's squeaky fromme
tried to assassinate Pres Ford there,
and sarah jane olsen of the SLA
(symbionese liberaton army,
whatever the fuck that means
(that's the way the liberals talked,
"Up Against The Wall Motherfucker !))
first kidnapped Patty Hearst, newspaper heiress,
and then murdered a church lady mother
who was making church money deposits
with a shotgun that
"went off accidentally"
(I guess it was accidentally
POINTED AT HER, too, huh ?).
That was a "revolutionary act"
of some sort.
Like I said,
those kooky lefties were
FULL OF SHIT,
and our graduate student
KNEW IT FULL WELL.
 
OK
Actually, that headline
(Women's Libbers Go Berserk !)
was quite lighthearted and humorous satire
compared to the rhetoric and actions
of the radical liberals
over the previous 15 years.
 
"Rudd and several other Columbia SDS leaders
became the nucleus of the terroristic
"Weatherman" group;
one died in 1970 while constructing antipersonnel bombs,
and another was arrested in 1982
in connection with the robbery of a Brinks' truck
and the murder of two policemen in Nyack, New York...
 
"That fall, at Columbia and other campuses as well
radical students disrupted the classes
of professors they wanted to silence or humiliate
and shouted down speakers
whose views they disagreed with.
The movement that had begun
with the demand for free speech at Berkeley
had become an effort to politicize the university
and coerce those who disagreed."
(The Troubled Crusade, pp.204-205)
 
So, you can clearly see, by contrast,
that our graduate student's
lighthearted and humorous satirical headline
was...well, just that - lighthearted and humorous
and satirical.
 
Yet, at our graduate student's state university,
the snakelike attorney dean of students (timmy comstock)
saw it as cause for a vein-popping, red-necking tirade,
"satire ! there's no satire here !
(as he waved around the "Women's Libbers Go Berserk !" headline)
this isn't the seventies any more !
You can't just say what you want !"
And, staring real real hard at the faculty advisor,
"your faculty advisor should be really mad at you !"
 
"On many of the most troubled campuses,
lifelong friendhips among faculty members were destroyed.
The disorders, the broken friendships,
and the disputes between radicals and liberals
shattered the broad liberal consensus
that had prevailed on most campuses.
At one end of the spectrum,
a small but conspicuous number of disillusioned liberals
began to shape a critique of the liberal tradition
that came to be known as neoconservatism."
 
Our graduate student was an ORIGINAL NEOCON !
