...deploy rational argument against such dreck? Professor Dominguez's own confession to an "antiquarian and deeply sexist" bias is the same horribly coy refusal to tackle his own destructive prejudices that I have seen again and again among men his age. It has probably constituted the Harvard faculty's most powerful--because unanswerable--defense against what it perceives as the invasion of hordes of Amazonian scholars, armed with Ph.D.'s (and Lord knows who gave them those), shrill voices, and--worst of all--the gall (shall we say) to call a mild-mannered male professor in his own home during...
...antiquarian and deeply sexist note. I might say all of these examples deal with women. I used to think that women were more likely to distinguish between the office and the home because they may have reflected more on how their father's career in the olden days over-whelmed mother and children. Thus I confess that I regret at least one feature of the widespread professionalization among women at Harvard. Women are now apparently just as likely as men to disregard the autonomy of the home. Of course, just as many examples can be given of the same long...
...admit that a student government would not be perfect in a simple majoritarian scheme is to admit to the failures of Harvard's grandiose scheme of the microcosm of Harvard in the Houses.

Women's studies programs may be springing up across the country, but they exist solely as a symbol. There is no distinctly "feminine" science, history or philosophy. Indeed, to imply that there is would be outrageously sexist...
Lisa Henson, 21, was a fast-talking freshman when she complained that the Harvard Lampoon was "the most sexist organization on campus." Hardly a sentiment to win her favor among the club's 45 members, almost all of them male. But over the past two years, the daughter of Muppet Creator Jim Henson clearly made a few "Poonie" friends. Last week she beat out all male rivals for the Lampoon's presidency, to become the first woman to achieve that position in the organization's 105-year history. The deciding factors, says a Lampoon staffer: "Consummate social...
