I was involved in a couple of projects when I was in college which would have been associated with what was loosely called “The Movement”.
I would say that the women ran the average gamut. But there was an underlying feeling that attractiveness was not quite quite and some went out of their way to look worse than necessary. With a bit of superiority in attitude, too.

But they weren’t the only activists. The inter-sorority organization ran and funded a community center for kids in a poor area near the campus. I joined that one. I figured they needed a guy. Since I was the only guy, I got to know a number of them.
I don’t consider their project “leftwing” and I figured their politics, if they had any–most people of that age didn’t–would be right wing. Mine were and they didn’t argue with me.
Unlike the lefties with whom I worked at other times.

If you have to join a group, join one recruited from sorority row. The pulchritude factor is overwhelming.

Too bad I can’t come up with competing group photos.

Decadent in the sense that there are fewer virtues, a belief that duty is outdated, and so on.

After many years of self-abuse, I abandoned any romantic contact with white women, and particularly with leftist white women. They’re are almost all feminists.

That means that they blame white men for all the evils of the world.

Why put up with it?

I decided to put my self-interest first. Since then, I seek romantic satisfaction only from Asian women, and particularly from Filipinas.

Why put up with the bad attitude and the spoiled brat sense of entitlement of a white woman?

That being said Maureen Dowd isn’t particularly attractive to most males. While the photo you picked of her is OK, with correct makeup and skill an artist can make even me look good (and, truthfully, that isn’t the easiest thing – physical beauty has never been one of my charms). If that is as good as one can make her look, I would bet that her physical beauty is about the same as mine. Heck, I wouldn’t even recognise her there based on any other times I’ve seen her. The rest were/are pretty good looking.

The women of both cultures tend to have about the same mix of nerdy stooped older women and young babes.

Thanks for the link

Some of the Berkley protestors in your link were protesting the circumcision of young boys. No where did I see protests against clitoral circumcision performed by the Religion of Peace.
