Lynn Medeiros, radical feminist

Of course I mean that in the best possible way! I loved Lynn's speech, and although history itself isn't a main interest of mine, I think I'll try to take at least one class from her. The highlight of her lecture was something she said at the end, asking the class: "Do you believe in equality for everyone?" and upon noticing some hands weren't raised "So tell me, why do YOU want to be treated differently?" I've used that line twice now over the weekend in political blogs concerning Prop 8, and no one yet has answered me =)

In fact I think the introduction of Proposition 8 during her lecture distracted me from the other subjects she talked about. Of course the one day I leave my notebook at home and I can't take effective notes to recall on. She was definitely engaging. Keeley is active and mobile and vocal, but Lynn trumped her that day. It was exciting.
