- There's a new word for us: "femino-censors." Any relation to
- Rush Limbaugh's "feminazis"?

- That cuts no ice with someone like Kitty MacKinnon who sees the
- U. S. Constitution as nothing more than one more prop for Male
- Supremacy.

- That's good news! Maybe these students will realize that people will
- follow the road to absolute gender equality only if that road is lined
- with jack-booted soldiers urging the people on at bayonet-point. The
- *goal* of gender-equality feminism is incompatible with personal freedom.
- This "Brouhaha at U. of Michigan Law" just goes to confirm what I've
- been telling you all along.
