...fear that the dialogue of the last week will be considered by the majority of the students at Harvard as just another battle between the sexes--but this time between a group of "rabid feminists" and a "bunch of incurable male chauvinists."

But being on the side of the animals does not always make one a good guy. It is wise, when beginning a discussion of the subject, to remember that Hitler was a vegetarian...
