ANN ALTHOUSE WONDERS WHY PRINCETON WOMEN ARE SUCH WIMPS:
Somebody please tell me why Princeton University — Princeton University! — is admitting women who need to be continually pushed to speak more. In the 21st century. They don’t deserve the seats they fill. They shouldn’t be coddled. They should be flunked out. You get into Princeton and you sit there too timid — or too withholding — to speak? Unacceptable. The teacher shouldn’t be prodding you. . . . Is this kindergarten? This is Princeton! How many applications for admission did Princeton turn down in the process of matriculating these ladies?
Plus, the need for the Princeton men to shut up: “Yes, men. You need to back off and behave more like the women who need the professor to continually push them to value their insights so that they may present them readily. The future depends on your going beta.”
