Backhanded backlash.
The Montana Kaimin had a piece last week on Jessica's presentation at a Students for Choice event at the University of Montana earlier this week, but apparently their weekly rating system given on Fridays had Jessica's "rating" retracted shortly after it was published:
The Full Frontal Feminist, Jessica Valenti, gave a speech on the UM campus Wednesday night, and unfortunately gets Backhands. BU&Bh was quite excited for this presentation, until we realized there was no actual full frontal. And yes, we recognize the irony of Backhanding feminists. (Emphasis mine)
While we give props to them for cutting it out, but the fact that they published it in the first place is beyond me.
A big thanks to Jamee for speaking out on this.

oh, hahaha, it's funny cuz girls don't have anything important to say, and if they aren't entertaining the menz what good are they?
...not.
Oh I get it! It's ironic because feminists oppose violence against women. So hitting a feminist is funny because they're a women. They don't like to be hit. LOLZ
In all seriousness, that article is more insulting to men than to feminists. Way to insult men's intelligence for the billionth time with the ol' titty schtick, guys. *sigh*
If you read the others you saw they were all equally boorish, lacking in both wit and insight.
Fear not, Jessica, as a former Missoulian I can say with a bit of assurance that the Kaimin takes itself far more seriously than Missoula does (or even than UM students do).
