Billmon: Feminist in the Woodpile

Well some of the wing nuts have their bowels in an uproar again over the Miers nomination, thanks to, of all people, The Chronicle of Higher Education, which reports that Church Lady pushed for the creation of a lecture series in "women's studies" at the SMU Law School.

Now every good wing nut knows that "women's studies" is just a fancy feminist euphemism for "radical commie lesbian anti-American Satan worshiping" studies, but this is even worse. Just look at some of guest lecturers subsidized by Ms. Miers and her sisters in the SMU Radical Wymyn's Collective:

A feminist icon, Gloria Steinem, delivered the series's first lecture, in 1998 . . . In the following two years, the speakers were Patricia S. Schroeder, the former Democratic congresswoman widely associated with women's causes, and Susan Faludi, the author of Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women (1991). Ann W. Richards, the Democrat whom George W. Bush unseated as governor of Texas in 1994, delivered the lecture in 2003.

Susan Faludi? Gloria Steinem??? Oh say it ain't so Harriet, say it ain't so.
