In calling for the boycott, POW President Colleen Hyphenated-Lastname noted that of the seven children, four were boys and only three were girls.
"There is only one explanation for the difference in numbers. Discrimination."
"This fact is obvious if you look at all other fields that feminists have studied. If there aren't as many women working on road crews or construction sites, the only possible explanation is discrimination. The only time there is equality is when women outnumber men."
"When we look at this group of babies, we have to notice that the numbers of males and females are not equal. That means two things. First, that men are to blame. And two, I am therefore entitled to compensation. And I will not rest until justice is done."
"Some people will claim that this ratio was simply determined by biology. Nonsense. We reject biological determination. All differences between girls and boys are due only to socialization. Obviously someone got to these kids pretty early."
"Was it the mother? As feminists, we feel ashamed that some Stepford Wife who wants to have children could buy into all the anti-female attitudes of the patriarchy and produce septuplets in which the females are accorded second-class status. Though society has come a long way in treating women equally, it still has a long way to go. We have finally instituted hiring goals, and yet we are helpless to enforce birthing goals. If they had been in place, we would have required females to be represented equally among the septuplets, and prevented this miscarriage of justice."
"Of course, seven is an odd number, so it's difficult to make septuplets equally boys and girls. We would have settled for one of the males being named Dennis Rodman. Barring that, there are other ways to enforce quotas. If there had been six girls and one male, we would have considered that equal. Another alternative would have been to "choice" one of the male fetuses, to ensure equality for women."
"After all, affirmative action is about sacrificing innocent males for the sake of feminism. Why are we drawing the line now?"
