Blog Roundout: Why is the Eagle so Hostile to Feminists?
March 30, 2010
Junior Ashley Joyce has added her voice to the exploding debate on Alex Knepper‘s misogynistic diatribe in AU’s student paper, The Eagle. Knepper’s editorial has received a lot of attention (see below for links) and created a vocal and active backlash on campus from women’s rights advocates. For more on that, check out the Campus Campaign for Consent.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Spring ’10 issue of AWOL with a print version of Ashley’s article. You can also read it online here.
