<p>^ ZOMG, speaking of feminist Lit teachers…</p>
<p>Mine swears that Emily Dickinson was the greatest poet ever, that The Scarlet Letter is the greatest novella ever because it portrays the struggle of the female gender, etc. etc. ad nauseam.</p>
<p>Oh, I smell a gender showdown coming on in a few weeks… 
Sorry ladies but you have some stiff competition!</p>
<p>Yep, hookem, I had the same feminist teacher last year for American lit: we read The Scarlet Letter and 25,000,000 Dickinson poems. Being in a class like that will make a chauvinist “pig” out of Elton John.</p>
<p>"Sorry ladies but you have some stiff competition! "</p>
<p>I hope that wasn’t a very, very inappropriate pun. 
Or my mind is just exceedingly dirty because I haven’t gotten enough sleep and I really don’t want to think about the Physics test tomorrow that I am not ready for…</p>
<p>^^ My AP Lit teacher finds sexual references/innuendos in EVERYTHING. When she “critically” analyzes poems/novels she always reads the “sexy” scenes in her “sexy” voice.
“…And then Myrtle Wilson came RAUNCHILY down the stairs in her SULTRY nightgown, displaying her VOLUPTUOUS body full of vitality. It was as if she were BURSTING with vitality. etc etc”
it’s honestly disturbing when she does her sexy voice…</p>
<p>LOL limetime that made me laugh so hard
But that pun would have been absolutely epic if it were intended as a pun
Physics, schmysics, I beasted the diffraction test we had on Friday. Boo ya.</p>
<p>Hahahaha sorry gentlemen, my rejection will only contribute to our loss in the Battle of the Sexes.</p>
<p>limetime, I hope that was a very inappropriate pun. We need to keep this board as bawdy as possible. And have fun on your physics test, I’m on break, whuddup.</p>
<p>Actually I’d rather be in school than at home, tearing wallpaper off the walls with my fingernails from anxiety.</p>
<p>Oh and you know what the worst is? When your feminist/sexually frustrated AP Lit teacher assigns The Awakening by Kate Chopin… she just about had a 'gasm critically analyzing that one.</p>
<p>Wow, areyouserioussss, you just reminded me of the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” we read in AP Lit. It was literally just about a woman who went bananas and started seeing women crawling out of the wallpaper.
I think my teacher saw a few sexual innuendos… I don’t quite remember.</p>
<p>^ omg, agreed. I couldn’t stand Chopin. Sophomoric.</p>
<p>There might have been a pun intended… ;)</p>
<p>Holy crap, ChandlerBing! We are reading The Awakening right now. We tried to have class discussion today, but everybody became so mad that my teacher yelled at all of us. She then proceeded to sit at her desk for an hour and demand that we remain silent. The Awakening is the bane of my existence. The place at the beginning of the book, Grand Isle, is only 1.5 hours driving from my house though.</p>
<p>And we also talked about The Yellow Wallpaper. It sounds like our AP Feminism teachers would get along well.</p>
<p>Pfft. I’d take Chopin any day if it would save me from Thomas Hardy. </p>
<p>We talked about The Yellow Wallpaper in our AP US History class, not our AP Lit class though.</p>
<p>There is currently a gender battle on the Harvard board as well </p>
<p>girls rule </p>
<p>men will always open doors for us</p>
<p>It’s the easiest way to check out your butt without you noticing.</p>
<p>Wow!! We just finished reading the Awakening too. Luckily my AP lit teacher is a guy. He flat out said that the book had very little to do with feminism. He took more of a psychological (edna’s whole thought process that lead up to the result at the end of the book… I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who might actually care) and a symbolic approach to the novel.</p>
<p>AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. </p>
<p>I seriously laughed SO hard at areyouserioussss’s post.</p>
<p>■■■■■ @ areyouserious!<br>
Plus, it’s a manipulative tool to get them to say “Aw! You’re such a sweet, sensitive, caring guy!”</p>
<p><em>wink</em></p>
<p>Wow, that was great!!!</p>
<p>Awesome! I never thought of it that way before.</p>
<p>God, will I ever, ever meet a man who I can have an intellectual conversation with?</p>
