Johns Hopkins Student Paper Would Like Women To Know How Fat And Terrible They Are (Updated)

The Johns Hopkins News-Letter
The Sustainable Hopkins Infrastructure Program (SHIP) started, literally, in the toilet. SHIP, an organization that unites Students, faculty, and staff to fund fiscally and environmentally responsible projects, took off in 2009 with a project that replaced the thirty-five year old toilets in the MSE library with new ones that used a third as much water. Workers vote, now have representative union

Sen. Saland’s Response to the Open Letter
Sen. Saland Refuses to Disavow Paladino Candidacy During Televised Interview (Poughkeepsie, NY 9/20/10) Incumbent Republican Steve Saland yesterday refused to disavow Republican gubernatorial nominee Carl Paladinos candidacy when asked during a televised interview, even though Paladino has publicly made Racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic remarks and sent pornographic emails. Saland categorized Paladinos remarks as intemperate. State Senate Candidate Didi Barrett, Sen....

Isaiah 11:6
It is to Mr. Limbaugh’s credit that he can make fun of himself. But Seth MacFarlane, the whiskey-soaked Dada creator of Family Guy , is responsible for more sophomoric cartooning than the combined patrons of America’s truck stop and dive bar bathrooms. His shows are full of misanthropic, misogynist, Racist, and anti-Semitic jokes admixed with just enough ironic distance and liberal Cheerleading to stave off the blanket condemnation of the PC Left. So, as someone who has in the past...

Always with the Misogyny
If you've been hanging out in Feministville for any length of time, there's a good chance that you've noticed the propensity of many Activists to treat women as objects. While this is a problem on the left, conservative Activists seem to have a particular knack for treating women as means to an ends, or merely as objects for their own sake. Last year, neo con man James O'Keefe released videos of what appeared to be ACORN employees helping Prostitutes get loans to finance Brothels. The...

The great nursery debate
The study unleashed what he describes as a global "firestorm of controversy", and, he believes, did enduring damage to his career. The suggestion that babies suffered by being taken from their parents and handed to carers, usually in nurseries, made uncomfortable reading both for mothers considering returning to work and for policymakers, eager to encourage them back into the Workforce. "I was dismissed as a misogynist who wanted mothers to remain barefoot and pregnant and stay at home. I became...

Good Point
Niewert : Maybe now is the time to start asking people exactly why ACORN was killed by Congress — and doing something about it. It is worth noting that prior to exposing himself as such an obvious, creepily misogynist Fraud that virtually nobody will defend him, O’Keefe was able to destroy an organization that actually did valuable work with extremely dubious “reporting.” It would be easy to laugh at Wingnut “Journalists” dedicated to making stuff up...

Apparently, Tom Coburn Is Just A Big Old Shark And Women Hater
Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Jim DeMint, R-S.C., have placed a “hold” on a bill that would sell land near the Smithsonian Institution for the National Women’s History Museum. A “hold” is a Senate practice that prevents bills from passing with unanimous consent and implicitly threatening a Filibuster. He must be a misogynist or something, to go with his animal hating ways. But……not so fast (the sharks issues) The problems that are facing this...

It Takes Two to Hookup
The Johns Hopkins News-Letter has drawn much unwanted, national attention this past week in response to two published articles describing the not-so-refined elements of the Johns Hopkins campus social scene. Managing Editor, Greg Sgammatos musings on fat chicks at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternitys now infamous Lingerave and Javier Avitias Banging Under the Influence: The Ups and Downs, shocked many Students, alumni, and the general public. Like most Students at JHU,...

Canadian Human Rights Commission Regimes are at it Again
Human Right Commissions (HRC) in Canada are publicly funded quasi judicial bodies that have morphed into totalitarian regimes, hijacking the Civil Liberties of citizens who choose to exercise their right to be politically incorrect. They have become puppets to Special interest Groups and face retribution only from the court of Public Opinion, particularly when they have trampled upon the Western sacred ground of the right to free Speech. Now they are seeking ways to expand territory by...

Katherine Heigl opens up about life in the limelight at NY premiere
NEW YORK — Former "Grey's Anatomy" star Katherine Heigl says she's happy to make headlines, but stories about her in the media are often exaggerated. Heigl's comments in the past have been known to make waves in the entertainment world. She called the 2007 comedy "Knocked Up," in which she starred, "a little sexist." Later, she refused to seek an Emmy Nomination after saying "Grey's" writers didn't give her enough award-worthy material. Heigl says she doesn't have "any major problem"...

Andrew Sullivan: I'm Breaking From The Right
Reacting to prominent Conservative Blogger Charles Johnson's announcement that he would not follow the Right Wing off a cliff, Andrew Sullivan is offering his own reasons for parting with the movement. Johnson, who blogs at Little Green Footballs, wrote on Monday that fanatic politicians, Racism, Sexism, anti-Islamism, Hate Speech, Conspiracy theories and other troubling trends on the Right Wing have led him to make a formal break. "The American Right Wing has gone off the rails, into the...

Efforts Rising to Ordain Women as Roman Catholic Priests
Alta Jacko is the mother of eight Children. She is also an ordained priest in the Roman Catholic Church. Jacko, 81, who earned her master's degree in pastoral studies from Loyola University, a Jesuit Catholic school, says being a priest is what she was called to do. Officially, of course, the Catholic Church's Canon Law 1024 says that only baptized men can receive holy orders. But there is a movement against the no-women rule; it began eight years ago when a cluster of renegade male clerics...

How Many Lives Has Sexism in Medicine Cost?
50 years ago, almost none of these women would have been physicians, Public Health professionals or Professors. The jobs for which many women were qualified went to less talented men. When I see how many lives these women are saving now, I wonder how many patients (including of course many men) have died over the years due to the long term exclusion of women from the healing arts and their associated sciences. We focus appropriately on how great it is for women that so many doors have opened...

Outrageous Vintage Ads That Show How Far We've Come (PICTURES)
There was a time in this country when print advertisements were overtly Racist, sexist and gave extremely unhealthy advice, almost as if everyday was an episode of "Mad Men." We still have many of these problems in advertising today, but at least babies aren't given 7-Up at birth and doctors don't recommend smoking. Have a laugh at our former ignorance, because there's no way our current ads could be as appalling as these are in the future...right?  

Shame on Family Films?
Tell us how Finding Nemo or Toy Story are the work of sexist pigs. Friday, October 01, 2010 By L. Brent Bozell III Dont read Newsweek magazine while drinking a beverage. A spit take is the obvious first reaction to a column by Julia Baird headlined The Shame of Family Films. On the Internet, this article is coded as Why family films are so sexist. Bairds denunciation of Hollywoods fraction of decent entertainment began: They have all been smash hits:...

2010 shows liberal contempt for voters
My favorite moment in every episode of the V television Series is when the flesh veneer of the aliens peels away and the lizard beneath shows through. The truth comes out at last. Every time I see the flesh give way, I remember the scene in the “To Serve Man” episode of Twilight Zone where the young lady rushes to the gate to try to stop her boss from boarding the alien ship: “Mr. Chambers. Mr. Chambers, the first page is just a collection of English words with their own...

Some Strategic Advice
According to the latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll , the Democrats have drawn even with the Republicans among Registered Voters. The reason? The movement towards the Democratic Party is due to increased enthusiasm amongst African-American (6% increase) and Latino Voters (11% gain). In other words, the progressive base is coming home. No, not this progressive base , which seems to have no representation in Congress. It's the base that elects the vast majority of the Progressive Caucus...

Dahlia Lithwick Can't Do Math
The demonstrated intellectual limitations of Slate's legal correspondent Dahlia Lithwick are a subject of frequent amusement in the blogosphere these days, so—before anybody else jumps in—let me offer an example from her most recent column " Lady Killer ." In it she laments the cultural and institutionalized Sexism which so often condemns innocent women to death for offenses as trivial as murdering one or more family members: While women are sentenced to death far less frequently...

Dahlia Lithwick does it again
Dahlia Lithwick does it again Dahlia Lithwick got something embarrassingly wrong when trying to criticize a right-winger ? Why would anyone think that would happen ? And blogger "Sub Specie" isn't impressed with the basic math error Lithwick makes when arguing that the death penalty is sexist.

Women Candidates Call on Opponents to Disavow Paladino
Our women Candidates like Didi Barrett , Joanne Yepsen , Robin Wilt , and Jennifer Maertz , have been calling on their Republican opponents to disavow the Republican Candidate for Governor. Why? Well, besides the Racist, sexist and pornographic emails that he made a habit of sending around before he decided to run for office, Carl Paladino is a terrifying Extremist when it comes to women's health. He believes Abortion should be illegal--even in cases of Rape and Incest .  He wants...

Paladino Terrorized the GOP
The Republican Candidate for N.Y. Governor sent Racist, sexist emails, threatened a reporter, and gobbled up state contracts. John Avlon on the trap that forces his party to remain behind him.

Psychological Marketing. [JHoward]
When you intend not to be taken literally but do intend to create a very specific reaction, allude to the appearance of a sacred truth. And vaguely blame somebody. Meanwhile: back in reality : Republicans have an opportunity to make history by electing a record number of Black Conservatives to Congress in November. Fourteen Black Republicans have received the GOPs nomination in their respective Congressional Districts. If just three of them win, it would be the first time since ...

Tribunal can appoint faculty deans
The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario has affirmed its authority to choose faculty deans. The ruling was made Monday in reference to allegations that Racism and Sexism kept a women Professor from taking the top post at the University of Windsor’s faculty of law. However, for the time being, the Tribunal also ruled that the university can continue its dean selection process. In an application filed Sept 10, Emily Carasco had asked the Tribunal to order Windsor’s dean selection...

NJ student's suicide resonates on campus, beyond
"To this poor kid, it's better to be dead than to have people know he's gay," said Jean-Marie Navetta, a spokeswoman for Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. "Therein lies the real tragedy here." Clementi's death was part of a string of Suicides last month involving youngsters who were believed to have been Victims of Anti-gay Bullying. Fifteen-year-old Billy Lucas hanged himself in a barn in Greensburg, Ind. Asher Brown, 13, shot himself in the head in Houston. And 13-year-old Seth Walsh...

Utah residents fear 'Israeli art students' prying into NSA data center
A local ABC affiliate in Salt Lake City, Utah has caused a stir online with a report suggesting that self-proclaimed Israeli art Students, peddling their artwork from door to door, have been asking disturbing questions about plans to build an NSA data center in the area. "These salespeople say they're Israeli Students," ABC4 reporter Brent Hunsaker explained. "They even produce Israeli passports. They say they're selling their own artwork to raise money to open a gallery. So why would the...
