Welcome to the Tue, 05/26/2009 – 02:10 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?
Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.
I guess Levi is not so hot.

I would just like to point out that, as the composer of comment 5:57, I find your assumptions about my education to be highly problematic and exposes some dubious preconceptions that you have about myself and gender politics. Firstly, while I did not earn a degree of Bachelor of Arts while enrolled in a Women’s Studies program, you have once again concluded a logical line of thought that highlights your essential ignorance with regards to the issue at hand. Women’s studies, by its very nature, is not completely comprehensive of the full scope of issue I meant to address, namely our social construct which paints a strictly binary relationship between two and only two genders. In fact, one may argue that it continues to help perpetuate the ageless oppression of the transgendered community. A more apt, yet equally erroneous assumption would have been that I majored in Gender Studies, or perhaps even LGBTQ/ human sexuality Studies. Again, I did not. Secondly, while I may or may not have attended an esoterically prestigious New England university, I can assuredly tell you that it was not Yale. I will chose not to disclose my alma mater, lest it deconstruct the carefully crafted veil of anonymity that this site affords. Thirdly, my parents are very proud of me. I let them know of all my comments on this site, and they keep a running digest to show their friends how fluent their child is in the current intellectual discourse of our epoch.
And Fourthly, it was a joke, iDOT!
