I few posts ago, I bitched about feminism, specifically how "educated" feminists were still idiots but used their college degrees to shield moronic views from scrutiny. Case in point:
The Adventures of Dr. Diana York Blaine. This idiot fancies herself as a "philosopher, writer, adventurer, bon vivant and buttkicker". Bon vivant? Whatever, maybe she drinks expensive wine or something, but philosopher? Writer? Adventurer? I suppose since she has a blog, that technically makes her a writer, and since she probably spent at least one second considering what she was going to write about that makes her a philosopher...what about adventurer? No clue what the fuck that's supposed to imply, but I seriously doubt she goes on big game hunts in Africa or navigated the Amazon river, searching for lost pygmy tribes. Anyway, take a look at the example questions she poses on her "About" page:
Should you shave under your arms?
Should you get married?
Should you get plastic surgery?
Should you buy an SUV?
Should you watch The Bachelor?
Should you join a sorority?
Should you go to church?
Should you wear make-up?
Should you keep your boyfriend?
Should you go on a diet?
Should you douche?
Riveting! I was reading The Republic just last week, and Glaucon posed the question of douching to Socrates right after asking about dieting. Surely these are questions long discussed in the annals of philosophical thought.
I was going to write a lot about how all the posts on her website were devoid of any reason or logic, but that should be apparent just from the fact that she has a PhD in English, teaches Feminist Theory and lives in California. Oddly enough, from the pictures I saw, she doesn't look that fat, but she made allusions to having a husband who I can only assume is the biggest pussy alive. Possible she might be XXY.
