I don't think it is schadenfreude. I think...no, no. I don't think it is schadenfreude. I think there has to be some feeling bad about feeling gleeful at someone else's misfortune. I don't feel bad about Bowers. I think it is a case of irony--not in the Alanis Morrisette way either. In trying to perpetuate an agenda, she feel victim to the ripple effects of such an agenda.kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975351996302093224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14100987.post-1121199717160513702005-07-12T16:21:00.000-04:002005-07-12T16:21:00.000-04:00schadenfreude, schadenfreude, schadenfreude schniz...schadenfreude, schadenfreude, schadenfreude schniztlebach.EBuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887304836671743255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14100987.post-1121176897647232532005-07-12T10:01:00.000-04:002005-07-12T10:01:00.000-04:00Yes, perhaps I will blog about the "Lady" ____ som...Yes, perhaps I will blog about the "Lady" ____ some other time. Maybe next March Madness, we can do a count of all the teams that have not given up the demeaning nickname. <BR/>Thanks for pointing out the Pam Bowers case, Ebuz. It kind of blows my mind when people clearly have not had enough consciousness-raising to realize that one form of discrimination is not any better than another. One could probably make an argument fairly easily that the homophobia present in women's collegiate sports today contributes to the gender discrimination that occurs. So in a way Pam Bowers, if she is right about the gender discrimination, (which I question given that Baylor currently has a female head coach) she contributed to it herself by perpetuating an atmosphere in which discrimination is accceptable.kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975351996302093224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14100987.post-1121111136618470222005-07-11T15:45:00.000-04:002005-07-11T15:45:00.000-04:00That Penn State choses to call themselves the "Lad...That Penn State choses to call themselves the "Lady" Lions is another reason to cheer for their opponents (especially when it's Iowa). <BR/><BR/>Festle, in Playing Nice, notes that former Baylor coach Pam Bowers was also notoriously anti-lesbian. Apparently she can dish out discrimination but not take it. She sued Baylor for wrongful termination claiming that their decision was motivated by gender not job performance.EBuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887304836671743255noreply@blogger.com
