Harvard Insanity

I have shied away from this story for days well, because, believe it or not gentle reader, I thought it too obscene. But I now bring it to your attention because it has taken on Aristophonic dimensions. You will find "gendered violence", "phallocentricity," "artistic expression" and "feminist perspectives" galore. It is both amusing and too pathetic not to be read.

Mr. Schramm, I believe the spelling is Aristophanic. His name is Aristophanes. I am a doctoral student in Classics at UW-Madison. That is the only reason I am presuming to point this out. By the way, I do love the blog.

I suggest that Schoppenhauer was right when he said that "Intellect is invisible to the man who has none. In any attempt to criticise another’s work, the range of knowledge possessed by the critic is as essential a part of his verdict as the claims of the work itself...Vulgarity is in this respect like electricity; it is easily distributed."
