Well, this week’s [visiting "smart" lecturer] was Phyllis Schlafly, the happy warrior chiefly known for defeating the Equal Rights Amendment and hating gays except her gay son, and she had plenty of good sensible (and extremely timely) warnings for our future military leaders, like: “Feminists are having a hard time being elected because they essentially are unlikable,” and “Find out if your girlfriend is a feminist before you get too far into it,” she said. “Some of them are pretty. They don’t all look like Bella Abzug.” Haw haw haw, said the cadets, or they would have if they had any idea who Abzug was, since she died in 1998 when they four years old.

OH NOES feminists come in all shapes and colors. It's a conspiracy I tells ya. It couldn't just be that feminists disregards thinks like "prettiness" in favor of providing rights for all people. Wait until she finds out some feminist are guys. And some of those guys are hot.

Wow, you'd think Gloria Steinem would have ended the whole "FIMeniztsz r teh uggliez" debate in the 60's.

Oh wait, these people still live in the 50's

Phyllis Schlafly is upset because there some attractive feminist. She thinks most feminists are fugly but argues that we should worry about pretty ones convincing their boyfriends that feminists are good:

1) I don't know if Phyllis Schlafly realizes this, but she's not very high up in the looks department herself. She's not in a position to judge.

2) What exactly is stopping "fugly" women from "luring their boyfriends into feminism"? Is your skill in persuasive rhetoric determined solely by your physical attractiveness?

Shit...I'm sorry, Kenji.  You're a lot more coherent, intelligent, and likeable than this asshole.

I love how this kind of bullshit "let's only focus on a woman's looks" crap only serves as proof that feminism is still relevant.

Feminists are having a hard time being elected because they essentially are unlikable

Well that ruins the feminist-statist conspiracy.

So to seduce a feminist vampire all I have to do is pretend to be a chauvinist at a rally?

Now I want to see a feminist vampire movie. "MY FANGS ARE UP HERE."

This proves that she's just mad, because she's fugly herself

Now I want to see a feminist vampire movie. "MY FANGS ARE UP HERE."

"Well, my blood is collecting down here."

"Well, my blood is collecting down here."

This is funnier than it should be.

"Hey! No biting... It's very sensitive."

"I vant to suck your blood."

"I vant to suck your blood."

Considering the subject of this thread, I may be in danger of feminist vampires.
