You may remember the vacuous Harvard twit, Sandra Korn, who thinks that her education about the world around her ended on the day she was accepted to Harvard. Korn wrote “Keep ROTC Out of Range<\/a>” in the Harvard Crimson recently which I critiqued to some acclaim<\/a>. Well, it seems that she takes exception in her blog<\/a> to some of our characterizations of her – specifically the one written by UpNorth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Is it illegit to study things like “Sex and Power in Modern Latin America and US Latino Culture” and “Postwar Feminist Thought”? Are “Medical Management of the Female Body” and “Postcolonial Women’s Writing” somehow “liberal” courses? There is nothing inherently illegit or leftist about studying the 50% of the population often underrepresented in the philosophy, history, and literature departments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Um, yeah it is, Sandra. Those aren’t subjects for a Harvard education, it’s the intellectual equivalent of taking “Basketweaving for fun and profit”. How do you figure a “Women’s Studies” major is going to prepare you for anything? Like the millions of college students who major in Psychology every year and end up working at a hair extension kiosk in the mall. It’s an absolutely useless endeavor that universities market to cum bubbles like you who think they can educate themselves to self-discovery. <\/p>\n

Why, yes, in fact, I have considered majoring in “women’s studies,” although here’s it’s called “Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What’s wrong with you, Sandra? Are you a complete moron? You’ve been accepted to arguably the most prestigious university in the country and you haven’t picked a major yet? I’m guessing you’re in your late teens and you’re piddling away your life complaining about the ROTC program and you don’t even know what you want to be when you grow up? Let me ask you, who the fuck do you think you are? <\/p>\n

Many of the readers on my blog are on their second careers, having retired from their first…and you don’t even know what you want your first TO BE YET<\/strong>? Again, you little pretentious twit, who do you think are?<\/p>\n

So it distresses me that for the uber-conservatives hating on my Crimson article, “women’s studies major” is an insult paramount to calling me an asswipe. I’m flattered, but I am disturbed by the connotation that only radical leftists would be interested in studying women’s** contribution to history.<\/p>\n

And I truly hope that, at some point before the US abolishes its military and becomes a pacifist nation, Women’s Studies will become a widely respected and favored major for college students.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, Sandra, “Women’s Studies” majors are indeed ass wipes, to use your word. If your ambition is to be nothing more than what you were on the day you were born, you’re a useless asswipe. Excuse the rest of us while we busy ourselves at keeping you safe and secure so you can be a useless twit the rest of your born days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
