Paging Feminism

I'm just curious to know whose idea it was over at Washington University to grant Phyllis Schlafly an honorary degree. Genius. NOT! And hey, wait, Phyllis, what are you doing accepting an honorary doctorate when women are supposed to be barefoot in the kitchen? Um, hypocritical much?

Feministing weighs in here, and Katha Pollitt weighs in at The Nation. (Thanks, Va, for that heads up the other day. Oy.)

That woman is the epitome of the double standard when it comes to women. What she meant was that the undereducated and underprivileged and the working class women should stay at home but that women like herself were free to do whatever they wanted.

The women as tool movement still has the ridiculous notion that work/education is optional for us.
