Dear Woman Who Sits in the Back of the Classroom,

We have been in this community college class together for a couple of months now, but I can’t say that I have ever taken notice of anything you have said – until last night’s class when we were talking about gender.  I find our sociology class about problems in society to be fairly basic.  I have a degree in Gender and Women’s Studies and Political Science, so I know I can get pretty high and mighty about gender issues at times.  But I have to say, you really pushed my buttons a little bit yesterday when you expressed that individuals with no discernable gender caused you “repulsion”, and that feminists are “whiners”.  I suppose I might be enforcing your stereotype of feminists here (which even I think is a little bit funny), but your comment about gender ambiguity was pretty offensive.
