Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Quan, sorry. I realized that after I sent my message. I remember now that the Aaaaanold said this. And we all know how sensitive he is to these issues. :-) Nancy Nancy Patterson, PhD Literacy Studies Program Chair College of Education Grand Valley State University 920 Eberhard Center 301 W.

Eastern Daylight Time, patterna@gvsu.edu writes: Using the term "girly manhood" is also offensive. Is there something wrong with girls? Do we diminish "manhood" when we use girly as a modifer. Are we using "girly" as a slur? Nancy: Just repeating Arnold's characterization of the CA assembly as girlymen. Sorry if I offended anyone on the list. No, there's nothing wrong with the term. As a matter of fact, it improves "manhood", however it is we define it to be. This is like Sheehan running against Pelosi. Let's do a circle firing squad !!!
