make a joke of and effectively derail legitimate Civil Rights (and feminist)
protests of the preceding era, and it again demonstrates just how off-kilter
the social and political sensibilities of this bunch of nitwits are. >>
And how unrepresentative of those who were really involved in
the civil rights and anti-war movements they are. Unfortunately,
sexism was as prominent in these movements as in the rest
of society.
