I laughed out loud at the flyer. I was expecting something a LITTLE worse.

I foresee another Rush Limbaugh announcement that women should be offended right as he calls us feminazis again.

Read the quote in the OP for a clue.

She’s trying to figure out why **Lynn Bodoni** was checking her meter in the first place. She seems to have missed at least one clause in the quotation found in the OP.

Oh! I get it now. I’d read it another way and was all confused.

Sounds like someone was a little desperate to meet their recreational outrage quota this week.

Damn that was lame. I was expecting tittie pics at least, not the middle school version of “dickfit - hur hur hur.”

Fuck, now I gotta go look at some fetish porn and get properly worked up - I mean… angry. Yeah.

Yale has been the subject of a number of [complaints](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/claire-gordon/yale-sexual-harassment-title-ix_b_843273.html) that it fosters a sexually hostile environment.

I was expecting something a bit more outrageous. The only thing that I found offensive was the lack of intelligence and humor.

Feminists thrive on a placenta-based diet.

They can’t be getting too much, placenta requires having sex to produce.

Not with modern technology. Aside from that, you should check out the cafeteria lunch menu at your local birthing center. The “veal” … isn’t.

Maybe, but the guy has apparently written an entire book on the subject of sexual liberalism at Yale. So its not like this is just a one-off outrage to pad his post-count.

Anyways, I’m glad I got my degree before college students started making jokes about sex. Sounds pretty traumatic.

Apparently I’m doing it wrong.
