Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Patriarchy and Rape Culture Flourish in Boulder . . .

. . . if this pathetic piece can be believed.  But it so reads like a parody of POMO rhetoric that it negates itself.  The writer is an alumna of the UC Boulder Philosophy Department.   One hopes that she is not representative of the sort of graduate the department 'produces.' If she is, then perhaps here is the real indictment of said department.

Wes Morriston, recently retired after 42 years of service to the department and the university, responds here.

His response is rational and fact-based.  But one wonders about the efficacy of responding in such a way to a delusional screed.  It is like responding rationally to someone who accuses you of being a racist for pointing out certain truths the subject matter of which is race. Recent example: Bruce Levenson's 'racist' e-mail.

More on the Boulder witch hunt in my Feminism category.  Note the ambiguity of 'witch hunt.'  Are witches the hunted or the hunters?
