Ah, the joys of the academy. I thought this type of thing went out in the 90s: Male journalist thrown out of University of New Hampshire "Patriarchy Slam," a radical feminist poetry reading session.

Organized by the Feminist Action League, a radical feminist group that includes students and recent graduates and is not recognized by UNH, the event featured songs about castrating rapists, as well as women wearing scissors on their necks and using the scissors to pop balloons that spelled out "The Patriarchy," according to FAL member and UNH senior Nicole Hentz.

"We made it very clear we didn't want to castrate all men," Hentz said. "The penis is the symbol of power and is the weapon used to rape women and its sort of the symbolic way of saying we were going to take away that power men have over us."

Priceless.
