Check your privilege at the door. ENGL 496: Feminist Critical Theory Independent Study Blog

And thus, my day begins in seething rage.
The Pitt. The University of Pittsbergh's student newspaper. Article headline: "After MLK day, now time to seduce 'sweetie'". Hmmm. After reading, I understand why the first comment says, "This is pathetic. Attempting to eke humor out of the derogation of women is neither creative nor interesting." Even if it is meant to "[mock] men who do these kinds of things, not the women they do them to," as another commenter replies, how is it in any way funny? There's no obvious explanation that this is satire/should be treated as such. To petition an apology to students, click me.
