Very quick background: Ellen Lewin is a professor at the University of Iowa who saw fit to reply to an (approved) mass email from the Iowa College Republicans with a “F*ck you, Republicans” mass email reply – only it wasn’t approved, wasn’t bowdlerized, and used her work email (which is the real problem). Lewin, of course, is trying the standard ‘Sorry if you were offended’ dodge, coupled with the ‘You made me do it by merely existing’ one – and a bit of a petulant whine about how one of the people that she just cursed out disrespected her by calling her by her first name, instead of the title (of respect) “Professor” (and thanks to the College Republican faculty adviser for highlighting that last bit).
Anyway: I wonder how quickly Ellen would lodge a complaint if her Republican students prefaced every response and comment in class with a “F*ck you, Ellen.” I’m going to guess, pretty darn quick. And with an utter lack of appreciation for the inherent irony of that complaint. Because, please remember: we’re not really human to people like Ellen. And when people like Ellen get stung in the self-importance, the mask swiftly slips.

She’s a professor in a field of study that can be described as useless only out of a sense of pity. I think she’s got a lot to lash out about. 😀
I’m just surprised it wasn’t spelled “Womyn”.
Soooooo, she’s a professor of “Foule Langwage”? That’s what I take away from this article. A college professor’s best retort is “F*** You!!”. Yeah, makes me reeeaaall sad I never went to college. I **must** have missed out on **soooo** much in the way of education…………
But Qixlqatl, think of all the money you saved! To say nothing of the head start you got on the rest of us who wasted four years and a few grand on a liberal arts degree. >_<
