Monday Funday - Someone With Cojones

Last Monday Tuesday I linked to a satirical essay about gender and language and one of the parts of Hofstadter's piece that really struck me was the following:
But when you analyze bler objections, you find they all fall apart at the seams. Niss Moses says that words like "chairwhite" suggest to people-most especially impressionable young whiteys and blackeys-that all chairwhites belong to the white race. How absurd! It's quite obvious, for instance, that the chairwhite of the League of Black Voters is going to be a black, not a white. Nobody need think twice about it.
So as a follow up to that here is a link to a post at The Onion about the appointment of an XYer to head the feminist movement...
