...facts, Lee is just wrong. With regard to feminism, students read John Stuart Mill’s “Subjection of Women,” and spend a whole week on Simone de Beauvoir’s “Second Sex.” As for post-colonial and race theory, students spend a week on Frantz Fanon’s “Wretched of the Earth.” In the area of sex and gender theory, students not only read Freud, but spend two weeks on Michel Foucault, including a week...

The two wrestlers did not spend much time in neutral position, though, as the Crimson co-captain notched another takedown and transitioned into a pin to extend the advantage to 14. As Cook struggled to escape, Caputo closed out the match with a final pin, logging a 17-0 technical fall to bring his winning streak...
