Spawns of Coulter
“Of Ann Coulter, Ashley says, ‘She’s someone I would read and admire, and I think she’s correct on most fronts, but I don’t think a whole country of Ann Coulters would be a good idea.'” That is Ashley Delp, president of the UO Network of Enlightened Women (NeW), which “serves as part book club and part activist group for right-leaning women,” in an article in the last Voice of the school year. I have had nightmares about an all-Coulter nation every night since I read this.
NeW calls themselves feminists, “though hesitantly,” opposes abortion, opposes the Vagina Monologues and thinks the radical feminists “took a good thing and ruined it.” I’ll give you abortion, but calling the women’s suffragist movement a good thing is too radical for me. What really grinds my gears about the article was this quote by Holly York, “Chivalry being dead is a disappointment and a bad reflection on society.” Pardon me Miss York, you are cordially invited to come to EMU 319; I’ll show you that chivalry ain’t dead.
