...surest signs fo the vitality of a discipline is the existence of disparate points of view among researchers in that discipline. Yet Women's Studies professors everywhere speak with one voice.

Go ahead and give them all the best lines--about how women who call themselves feminists are really sexually frustrated, overweight, undesirables who speak about hating men because they can't get near them. About how Gloria Steinem would look a lot better if she smiled a little more, and maybe wore a little make-up. How the problem with women today is that they're all too bitchy--they've lost their softness, their femininity...
