First, you have to read this article. (Thanks, Sara.)
So is Mr. Denn Hollander (oh how I wish he had a different name!) for or against the double standard that has plagued women for decades? Perhaps he'd like to see to it that women get studied in history and literature classes just as often as men do, so we wouldn't have to have separate study programs. In school I would have loved to hear more about Rosie the Riveter and WASPs during studies of WWII. Or about people like Dorothea Dix and Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell in the 19th century. But instead I had to wait until I took a women's history class in college to hear about some of those women, and I had to study on my own to find out about others. Women's studies "[spread] prejudice and [foster] animosity and distrust toward men with the result of the wholesale violation of men’s rights due to ignorance, falsehoods and malice,” says Denn Hollander. Gee, and no men in the history of the world would have given women a reason to do that, would they?
Discrimination feels completely different when it's happening to you instead of someone else.
Next I'm sure he'll go after the NAACP for being racist.
