In some circles we look on men that claim to be women's rights champions
with deep, deep suspicion. I mean, the Corvette and the good dope are
easily empirically verified, but there are some men who would say just about
anything to pick up chicks. Now, men that ARE women's rights champions,
in a dependable way, are total babe magnets. We just don't take the claims
at face value after we've been burned once.

Incidentally, does Arizona really offer a PhD in "Science?" Here at Iowa
they make you choose a particular science - guess they're just nit-picky.
It makes me think of the "Ask Mr. Science" radio spots... "Remember, he
knows more than you do." "I've got a master's degree - in SCIENCE!"
