...rhetoric of victimhood. A prominent student conservative--Charles Mitchell of Pennsylvania's Bucknell University--urged conference attendees to return to their campuses and create "safe zones" for conservatives, who are, he said, "constantly under attack." Antifeminist Christina Hoff Sommers, author of The War Against Boys, darkly warned that Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues--a collection of sketches about women's sexual experiences that was performed on more than 600 campuses last year--has inspired "an army" of campus feminists whom she called "very elitist."
