Human

I have a lot of grading to do today but I swear to God, if I see an expression “a woman or a human being” in one more assignment, I will eat my gradebook.

There have been 4 so far. All authored by female students.

    Something to cheer you up?

    I read an essay today asserting that the catapult helped ancient people “in their whores with others.”

    I suspect they meant “in their wars,” but it’s worth a laugh this way.

      The poem is about a woman or a human being who is looking at his or her son . . .

      This is an analysis of a poem by poet Maria Victoria Atencia.

    I suppose some women are so appalled by men’s behaviour that they do not want to admit to being of the same species as we are. Or maybe only some women are not human in their estimation??

      I find that of all kinds of analysis, it is the feminist analysis that my students find the most difficult to comprehend. In a work of art, they don’t see even the most blatant instances of sexism as sexism.
