"Worse Than Feminist"

I spoke with the Renaissance Eeyore on the phone last night who told me a marvelous, indeed inspiring, story about a friend of hers who teaches in the law school at her university. This friend is a dyke who openly teaches queer issues in her family law class, and her quite conservative law students are appalled--appalled enough to complained to the dean. Their grounds? Their professor is, and I quote, "worse than feminist!" Clearly, being feminist is bad enough--a worthy insult in it own right. But worse than feminist? What an honour they have besowed upon their professor. Given that there is no legitimate complaint they can make about the quality of the prof's teaching (the issue really is the content), the complaint has not gone very far. However, rumour has it that there may be a t-shit produced with the proud proclamation "Worse Than Feminist." I definitely want one.
