DISCERNING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'FAIR' AND 'SAME'
by Mike the Usurper at 2:50 pm EST, Mar 1, 2005

] The problem comes, it seems to me, when we try to collate
] fairness with sameness, logic with theory, and social
] justice with scholarly taboos. Larry Summers may have
] said a foolish thing, but the fact that such innocuous
] words at a vaunted university of "liberal free speech"
] caused an uproar makes me wonder if we don't need to do
] some deeper thinking about the true principles of
] feminism.
