Sigh...

So much for satire - the University of Western Ontario's student newspaper, The Gazette, bravely satirizes women who speak out against the fear of being sexually assaulted, specifically targeting women who have presumed to criticize the Gazette for earlier likeminded "satires" against women, gays and others who don't fit the white straight male "standard" of dominant humanity:

Behold the courage of people who claim to engage in satire and then claim that are "just joking". What does it even mean to say that you are "just joking", especially when you are clearly targeting people? You may think you are joking, but you are not "just" joking. If putting together a bunch of worn out stereotypes about feminists and then adding a "joke" about teaching a woman's vagina "a lesson in a dark alley" is really the best "satirical" response these people can manage to feminist critiques of their paper, then feminists have nothing to fear from them on an intellectual or humourous level. Unfortunately, as the remark about the "lesson" in the dark alley reminds us, women sometimes have reason to fear other kinds of attacks simply because they are women.
