This article contains a lot of irrelevant information. [[User:ColinR|ColinR]] 04:18, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

A big problem with feminism is its desire to erase sex distinctions. Masculinity and femininity are no longer seen as God-given traits, or even ideals. [[Women in the military]], the so-called [[equal pay for equal work]] law; the forced muzzling of that Harvard president who dared suggest that women and men might not be equally suited to academic careers in math and science.

The idea that there's nothing sacred about the male-female relationship obviously provides support for [[gay rights]] agitation and same-sex "marriage". If there's nothing special about a man, then what does a woman need one for? She can have a "wife" too (as Garry Trudeau once put it). --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 20:20, 23 March 2007 (EDT)

I don't think the addition of the Rush Limbaugh "femi-nazi" comment is particularly relevant, largely because it's based on the wholly erroneous assumption that all feminists are pro-abortion. To include anything based on that assumption mischaracterizes the late 20th c/early 21st c "post feminist" era, where women who self-identify as feminists are far more likely to fall within a broad spectrum of ideals than one cookie cutter.

Malapropism

2007-03-21T04:05:35Z

Fsm1975:

A '''Malapropism''' is the accidental misuse of a word, usually due to confusion with a linguistically similar word. Oftentimes, the use of a malapropism is quite humorous. The term derives from a character, "Mrs. Malaprop," in the 1775 play "The Rivals" by [[Richard Brinsley Sheridan]].

An example of a malaprop would be referring to an "arduous romance" instead of an "ardent romance" or a "mute point" instead of a "moot point."

Often the humor is derived from the scatological or suggestive nature of the malapropism such as in the following:

* stimulated snakeskin shoes (simulated snakeskin shoes)
* erotic 15 inch houseplant (exotic 15 inch houseplant)

* This exam has been rebranded as the SAT Subject Test. Students should know this; who can retitle the article?
* CLEP exams reflect college level achievement, much like AP exams -- not high school level achievement. Students will likely need to take SAT Subject exams to meet admissions requirements for their colleges in addition to any exams they want to take for college credit. If they are confident of their abilities to pass the AP or CLEP exam, they should take both the SAT Subject test and the CLEP or AP. [[User:Fsm1975|Fsm1975]] 23:19, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

SAT II World History

2007-03-21T03:16:00Z

Fsm1975:

Things to beware about the SAT Subject Test: World History exam are as follows. Tips are listed separately after the registration info below.

1. It tests "pre-history", which is unproven and often implausible speculation about a time period prior to historical records. This could be 5-10% of the exam!

2. It uses "B.C.E." instead of "B.C." and "C.E." instead of "A.D.", even though no one denies that the dating system is based on the birth of Jesus.

3. It is likely to credit humanism for the Renaissance, and credit the Enlightenment for more than it deserves. Christianity will receive little or no credit on the exam.

4. Only 25% of this exam is about Europe. 10% is on EACH of Africa, Southwest Asia, South and Southeast Asia, East Asia and the Americans (other than the United States)

5. The format of the test is one hour long, consisting of 95 multiple-choice questions. Many questions are written in a convoluted manner, and some students may run out of time.

6. Questions that are "Global or Comparative" make up an astounding 25% of the exam.

7. The CLEP exams on Western Civilization is a much better test of relevant historical knowledge. But the CLEP is about $50 more expensive than the SAT II (About $75 for the CLEP compared with about $25 for the SAT II). However, a CLEP score reflects college-level work, and may impress colleges more than an SAT II score.

SAT Subject Test registration deadlines:
For the test given January 27, 2007, the regular registration deadline is Dec. 26, 2006. Late registration with an extra fee is Jan. 4, 2007.

1. Beware these words in answers, because these words are so sweeping that the answer is probably wrong: "only", "never", "always", "every" and "none".

2. These words in an answer suggest that the answer may be the correct choice because they are not so sweeping: "rarely", "sometimes", "often" and "generally".

Feminism

2007-03-21T03:07:17Z

Fsm1975:

Feminism is a philosophy granting equal rights and opportunities to women. Roots of the movement in the United States and the United Kingdom include the [[Women's Suffrage]] movement of the early 1900's and the [[Women's Liberation]] (or "Second Wave Feminist") movement of the 1960's and 1970's.

An [[Equal Rights Amendment]] was proposed in the US in 1972, but was unratified. Opponents of the amendment cited the following problems: the integration of single-sex schools; the possible recognition of homosexual marriage; and the revocation of laws that protect women in dangerous jobs, like factory or mining work.

The feminist movement in the West evolved in the 1980s with the rise of [[Post-Feminism]] which stresses that women have many choices.

Second Wave Feminism has made a resurgence in 1990s and early years of 21st century as the movement is spreading internationally in [[Asia]] and the [[Middle East]].
