How a feminist would see the story of Icarus
See? When readers send me stuff I post it.
This was forwarded to me by everyone's new pal Chris M who got it from a UMich alum working at the University of Maryland. The last paragraph is gold.

My favourite is "Crete was an island and since King Minos would not let him leave..."
A cruel king for not letting the island leave.
Hilarious. I've missed these.
I like how the feminists would view Daedalus a a "bad parental figure" because "he was the father of the child and not the mother." So, all fathers are crappy parental figures because they didn't give birth to their children?
Man, that definitely makes sense.
excellent, good to have you back
Alas! My week is complete! And happy!
I always wonder what GPAs these kids got in high school...

Incredible. I missed you, AHFB.
I like the line "he was the father of the child and not the mother" for the lack of clarity. It's sad that he was not the father of the mother...or was it that the mother would've made a better father?.
Wow... just wow.
For gods sake, someone send him something else...
AHFB I made a grab for you. I'll send it soon, really. It's not golden but I think you can get something out of it.
Simply fantastic.
Simply fantastic. Go terps!
WHUT. This is supposedly a "feminist" reading, but feminism only gets squashed in the last tiny paragraph? I got lambasted for including too much plot summary in my papers; I hope this person did, too.
I'm focusing on the mechanics on the paper so I don't rant about the utterly stupid interpretation of a feminist reading.
Ha Ha, love this... love it.
