"Etherized upon a table"
Dissapointments, they come in all shapes and colors, and afflict you when you are least expecting them. A similar tragedy has fallen upon your humble narrator, my friends. I have again become a victim of somebody's narrow-unidirectional-closed box type approach to life; this time only she would not agree that she is a conservative.
I am talking about my british litrature class. With high hopes, I had enrolled in the class. I was excited, and blood rushed through my veins at a fairly high pace, my heart-beat about 140bps, my ear-lobes red; as i walked briskly towards the class.
Alas, why do He createth bitches? It turns out, to my sorrow, the professor is a die-hard feminist. Do not get me wrong here, I have nothing against those vulva-worshipping dominions of Venus. Instead, I was glad at first that this would open a new perspective for me to look upon the litrature, but behold, I was mistaken.
In her very first attempt she castrated Chaucer by putting his balls into a smoothie blender, while Chaucer might have been standing trying to answer a nature's call by the bush. Get this, all we talk about in the class is the condition of the women, and never a thing about the evolution of litrature.
I asked her something about the evolution of tragedy in english language from Chaucer to Shakespere, and she almost turned into a succubus and (almost) bit my scrotum. One cannot be more careful these days.
I do not refute the condition of women at that point in time in British culture, however, I cannot allow history to be condemned for what it once was; and never ever, on the altar of their own literature.
I do believe we should come out of this tree-hugging-Eve-presidentfor2008-crap and start focusing on the linguistic aspects of the literature. I am dispensing my days in extreme pain just thinking of how she would murder the spirit of King Lier by shoving the dagger of Feminism in Shakespere's ass. I know it, her arms will be stretched out and she would be saying "Regan had very big ovaries".

Your comments are OUCH.....
do not be decieved. there are more certified imbeciles than not. I find it really insulting when professors, or specialists sacrifice intellectual sincerity to push their beliefs or ideologies. It is not a professor of litterature's place to convince her class that pregnancy and breats are a product of society (as radical-radical feminists say).
It is her job to present unbiased facts and open discussions all the while being respectful and welcoming of each individual thought. To suppress others is to condemn young minds to a life of heard-following. We can't grow without debate, and we can't debate without believing that we may be wrong in our thoughts.
your prof sucks.
