Holy Shit! I am going to get a job washing dishes for a living!
Being politically correct is a way that we speak here in America so that we don’t offend any whining babies. Only pathetically weak people that don’t have the balls to say what they feel and mean are politically correct [idiots]. Society and the media have made it to where people are now afraid to say what they actually mean. Comedians are now the only people who actually speak the truth about society. Except now even Saturday Night Live wont put anything that is not politically correct for fear that some left wing idiot will throw a fit a make NBC apologize.
At this point in her reading of this cogent argument, my boss said, "does he realize you will be reading this paper?"
Oh yes. And it gets better!Today’s society has become way to obsessed with how things need to be right and to make people feel better. The correct term these days for garbage man is a sanitation engineer. No, a garbage man is no kind of engineer he has no college degree from an engineer college. There fore he should not be able to call himself an engineer to make himself feel better. If he want to have a respectable job title then he should go to college and earn a degree where he can actually say hes an engineer.
Do I have to say (sic)?
The one word that completely blows my mind and is absolutely ridiculous is how feminist want women to be spelled, womYn. Are you kidding me? You can’t just decide to change how you spell woman, that’s the most insane thing I’ve ever heard of. Someone needs to either get a life or they need them to find themselves a man.
Need I say more? You can imagine me, sitting at my desk, trying to keep a kind face, and telling my student, who sits innocently--inches from my man-hating, humorless, womynly knee--that he was going to have to rewrite this essay to be an argument, rather than a rant.

I can't really begin to find the words. (Perhaps he might enjoy a career as a garbage man...? Although I'm pretty sure that most of the garbage men out there would be much more enlightened.)
Or something.
I'm speechless, really. Just, wow.
I would have been tempted to write "Are you kidding me? You can't just decide to turn in a grammatically incorrect, logically flawed, rambling piece of crap, that's the most insane thing I've ever heard. Someone needs to either get literate or they need to find themselves a van [to live in]" on his paper, give him an "F", and be done with it.
You know, I actually have no words. This was so fantastically, deplorably hilarious I have to go sit down and consume large quantities of hard liquor before I can comment any further.
Amazing....
Wow.

Now excuse me while I weep for our future.
if he 'want' his opinion to be read seriously, perhaps he should work on his own education before urging the garbage man to go to school?
just saying...
This why you make the big bucks!
Oy girl!
Wow.
You know? Bless you for all you do and with such class. (And I mean the "bless you" in the nice, sincere way, not the Southern way LOL.)
I've been slacking a bit in keeping up with my blog reading. What a post to come back to!
You poor, poor woman.
Unfortunately, 3/4 of my relatives would agree with that essay. It's horrifying. Some day I'll tell you about Christmas dinners at my mother's house.
Anyway, this is a chance to challenge his beliefs while helping him craft his argument. He's just repeating what other people (probably his family) tell him.
Oh my.
You know, I can't remember the details on this but the term 'politically correct' is actually a term conceptualized and deployed by a conservative think tank in order to start discrediting the kind of work feminists, people of color, gays/lesbians were doing to point out the inequities in the playing field.
The term itself is totally suspect!!!
Isn't that interesting?
oh golly, too funny, too darn funny.
Incidently I have never heard of that, womYn. Perhaps it's only politically correct american feminists wanting the change? I'd tend to swing towards womIn, more *phonetically correct*. Run that by him, see what he thinks ;)
Hey, beats actually thinking, right?
That said, I'm always amazed at the level of audacity some of the students display. Repeatedly, throughout every school day, I have to remind myself that no matter how aggravated I get, using a term such as "dickbrain" is wildly inappropriate.
The only good thing about his foolish "essay" (and I give the credit to you, Prof. J) is that it reminded me of when I was a "ridiculous" feminist who spelled "women" womyn in all of my college papers. I'm still proud of that version of me.
Many, many, many good things should come your way as repayment for dealing with/attempting to teach this guy.
