Comments on: Lowering the Discourse http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2006/03/07/lowering-the-discourse/ In defense of the sanctimonious women's studies set.

I adore both you and Ann, think you're both terrific feminists, and as I said in the comments section on Ann's blog I think this might be one of those mountains-out-of-molehills things that tends to happen online and if you were discussing it in person you'd probably come to an agreement within 10 seconds. I hope the two of you can move beyond this quickly!! This really pains me, Zuzu.

Zuzu,

Since they’ve obviously come and burned your NOW card I want to let you know that I know a good “papers” guy whenever you’re ready to try and pass again as a feminist.

How unfeminist of you! Or something. I don't care though, because my broccoli soup kicked ass the other day. Thank you for the tip :) I think this has something to do with how you convinced me to go buy a stick blender and make lots of soups. How unfeminist of you! Or something.

It's status quo to make fun of conservative male bloggers and pundits (and ploggers) by implying that a date with them would be about as much fun as attempting to pierce one's nipple with a plastic fork. Since TBogg didn't talk about Althouse's appearance, I don't think this is in the same category as the MAnn Coulter comments.
