...Crimson also came under Kennedy's wide-ranging attack. She cited The Crimson's cutting of a black woman candidate as proof that it is "a racist, sexist, elitist, noble-nigger paper" and said that "it ain't even good...
...renounced Radcliffe under the banner of nobullshit equality. Anything that singled out our femaleness was sexist and degrading; masculine advances to our feminity were repugnant to our New Femininity. When we voted for cohabitation we voted to abandon Radcliffe as our shrine. We carried only our sex to Harvard, but we rejected its traditional symbols. There were no longer any institutionalized times or places for girls to be girls or boys to be boys. Many men hightailed back into final clubs or athletics, but Radcliffe surfaced ubiquitous, from House crew to Lampoon. And Harvard started to dress differently--women foreswore...
...crux of the problem is that the evolution of economic thought in the U.S. has been shaped by the same institution that brought scientific racism, apologetics for U.S. imperialism, sexist psychology, and other perversions of social science. It's called the free market place in ideas; the basic principle is that those who finance research and teaching get what they want. In my discipline, this has meant that the overriding problem of the capitalist class has become the subject matter of economics: namely, the identification and implementation of the most profitable allocation of resources, both within the individual enterprise...
...implication of her act of protest is that she would gladly have read her poetry a before "a non-sexist" Signet Society: the chances, however, of finding such a society within the bastion of bourgeois aesthetics are slum.

It should be clear that the Signet Society is only slightly more qualified to judge radical poetry than is Dean Dunlop to judge the "competence" of Professor Guinier, yet apparently Rich expected something more advanced, more avant-grade--or, at least, more...
Rich's recent letter of clarification only intensifies the contradictions implicit in her protest: "I accepted the Signet's invitation well aware that it was 'male dominated'...I left the dinner because a crudely sexist toast was given..." (my emphasis). She explains her exit, but obscures her entrance. The question is, why was Rich there in the first place? Would it be enough for Signet members to be "non-sexist" while remaining ideological servants of capitalism and sexism go so well together?) Haven't we seen enough bourgeois poets chasing their souls like butterflies? Haven't we seen enough backs...
