...minor points raised by White are commendable. The lengthened school committee and city council terms will reduce the pressure on incumbents to constantly campaign. White's half-hearted recommendation to prohibit school committee candidates from soliciting funds from school department employees was quickly rejected by the city council. Squeezing the people you employ for donations is a routine practice of Boston politicians that the mayor himself has perfected.

As we all know, when men prohibit women from clubs or activities that are exclusively male, it is not only a case of chauvinistic stupidity (after all who but a blind, misogynistic male would prefer the company of gruff, hoary men to the enlightened grace of Minerva's daughters?), it is also a case of overt hostility, nothing short of predatory masculine regression. We have seen the results...
