An annual >Ludy conducied

Now don'l get me wrong, it's no1 that I dislike SOAN ma­
jors as people. They're just misguided, thn(soU 1 mean, c'mon
cultural rcln1ivism? Who came l\P with lh3l one? Good way
LO juslffy practfces like female circumcision and d1ctatorilll
govemmcnlS, folks! "Oh, l1's ok. because they're a dilferent
culture nnd we can't criticize them!" And you know what the
worst pan is? They do! Hypocrites, that's what I say! And
wlmt about that Hegel guy? Haw any or you SOAN majors
read anything other 1ban the m.,ster-sLwc cliakcticl Say maybe
the Tl:SI of 1he Phenomenology? Try it. you might actually
like it and would actually be reading something acndcmic and
scholarly for n change.
Oh, and £or aU of you SOAN-ActivisL people, how about
grounding your clnln1s in somcthmg 1hn1's ac111ally valid, not.
say. some study done by 1he Radical Voice of Ilic Oppressed
and the Rainforests Group for Ending Patriarclly or some crap
like that. Oh, and spe.aking or patriarchy, did It ever occur to
you that matriarchy would be just as discriminatory? Down
wilh men, dudes! We all know bow much they suck!
Anyway, that's what I think I could be wrong (another
1hing you'll neYcr hear-a SOAN major say). for lhc mnx1muin illllOUTH or
