When I was at UW, the guy that managed my buddy's apartment building got tossed out of his Women's Studies class because he called bullshit all the time. He said "fuck off" and threatened to sue UW for taking his money for a class and then tossing him out for presenting a contrarian point of view in some of the discussions. We wanted his money back, or credit for the class - and told whomever UW had representing them that it was either that, or a lawsuit.
It was in the news, and then Ken Schram called Pete and asked if he'd come on Town Meeting and discuss the situation. He said sure - and then asked my buddy and I if we'd go be in the audience for some moral support.
So we went. Gloria Steinem showed up on the pro-Women's Studies professor side, and I got into it with her about what a load of shit it was to run any class at UW where an opposing opinion was so unwelcomed that they'd toss you out of a class. This wasn't math, and he wasn't stopping the class to say 2+2=5 - it was a class based on opinions and societal beliefs, and the female professor wouldn't have anyone say anything that wasn't in lockstep with her views. That's not a fucking college class- that's a Scientology meeting.
She looked like a retard and the crowd cheered and clapped at my comments. Ken went to commercial right away because Gloria started getting all wound up and frustrated. We lol'ed and then went home and got fucked up, and watched the VCR recording of the whole show. How that woman commands the paycheck she does is beyond me.
What point was I making? None- so fuck off.
I wanted to edit this to correct an error. It was Gloria Allred, not Gloria Steinem, that was on the Town Meeting show when I was there.
