Writing in regards to Harvard president Lawrence Summers' controversial remarks about female aptitudes for math and science, George Will puts togehter one of the most sarcastic, image-laden paragraphs I have read in a long time.

First he mentions one particular reaction, which was also included in the first reports on the incident (linked above).

Nancy Hopkins, a biologist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, walked out on Summers' talk, saying later that if she hadn't left, ''I would've either blacked out or thrown up."

Mr. Will then commences the literary lashing.

Is this the fruit of feminism? A woman at the peak of the academic pyramid becomes theatrically flurried by an unwelcome idea and, like a Victorian maiden exposed to male coarseness, suffers the vapors and collapses on the drawing room carpet in a heap of crinolines until revived by smelling salts and the offending brute's contrition?

No wonder he gets paid to write and I don't. I couldn't have come up with that paragraph even if had I been able to memorize the dictionary and a thesaurus.
