feminists in favor of doctors delaying till the third trimester before they tell the mother the sex of their child. this is to allay fears that female fetuses are being aborted, while denying the mother access to this knowledge. not to mention these are the same women who fought tooth and nail for these mothers to have the right to abortions.
also this,
Remember the book "Men are from Mars, Women Are from Venus"? Here's a
prime example offered by an English professor at an American University :
"Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story.
The process is simple. Each person
will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate
right. One of you will then write the first
paragraph of a short story. The partner will read the first
paragraph and then add another paragraph to
the story. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so
on back and forth. Remember to
re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story
coherent. There is to be absolutely
NO talking and anything you wish to say must be written on the
paper. The story is over when both agree a
conclusion has been reached."
The following was actually turned in by two of my
English students: Michelle and Gary.

THE STORY:
(first paragraph by Michelle)
At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she
wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite
for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much
of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked
chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep
her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if
she thought about him too much her asthma started acting
up again. So chamomile was out of the question.
-------------------------------------------------------
(second paragraph by Gary )
Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the
attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more
important things to think about than the neuroses of
an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom
he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S.
Harris to Geostation 17,???*?? He said into his transgalactic
communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of
resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish
particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole
through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit
sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Michelle)
He bumped his head and died almost immediately but not
before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing
the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon
afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards
the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law
Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read
in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously
excited her and bored her. She stared out the window,
dreaming of her youth, when the days had passed
unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspapers to
read, no television to distract her from her sense
of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things
round her. "Why must one lose one's innocence
to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.
------------------------------------------------------
( Gary )
Little did she know, but she had less than 10
seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the
city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first
of its Lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy
peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace
Disarmament Treaty through the congress had left
Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires
who were determined to destroy the human race.
Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the
Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying
enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet.
With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their
diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered
the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his
top-secret Mobile submarine headquarters on the
ocean floor off the coast of Guam , felt the inconceivably
massive explosion, which vaporized poor, stupid,
Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President
slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't
allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty! Let's blow
'em out of the sky!"
-------------------------------------------------------
(Michelle)
This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of
literature. My writing partner is a violent,
chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent.
-------------------------------------------------------
( Gary )
Yeah? Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic
whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent
of Valium. "Oh shall I have chamomile tea? Or shall
I have some other sort of FUCKING TEA??? Oh no,
I'm such an air headed bimbo who reads too many
Danielle Steele novels."
-------------------------------------------------------
(Michelle)
Asshole.
-------------------------------------------------------
( Gary )
Bitch.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Michelle)
DICK!
-------------------------------------------------------
( Gary )
Slut.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Michelle)
Get fucked.
-------------------------------------------------------
( Gary )
Eat shit.
-------------------------------------------------------
(Michelle)
FUCK YOU - YOU NEANDERTHAL!!!
-------------------------------------------------------
( Gary )
Go drink some tea - whore.
