Turns Out What Yale Women Want...

...is a man.

Sorry, Jeff Mankoff.

Although editorialist Karen Stabiner might make a good match for you--that is, if she can ever stop seething with resentment against women who choose to be nurturing wives and mothers instead of indignant leftist harridans.

Whatever happened to a woman's right to choose? Or tolerance? Or diversity?

The truth is, and Stabiner's bitter words prove it, any deviation from the radical feminist agenda is viewed as a personal affront. Women are to be celebrated for their minds--paradoxically unless and until they disagree with the zealot orthodoxy, at which point they become deluded victims of patriarchal exploitation.

It's the same reason the left hates gun ownership: We've worked so hard to create a nanny state. How dare you ingrates reject it and pursue selfish individualism?

It's heartening to see this--perhaps the movement to suppress individuality will prove as effective as other efforts of the collective. Perhaps a critical mass of free-thinking individuals will always slip through the cracks--just enough to keep the embers of freedom glowing. That means there's still a chance for a genuine blaze to break out, maybe some day a genuine bonfire.

But for the short terms, it's nice to see a good portion of Yale women deciding that what they want is a man. I hope they also realize that real men don't need nannies.
