Man Finally Put In Charge Of Struggling Feminist Movement

Peter "Buck" McGowan, a 53 year old management consultant, is the new chief of a feminist movement in America. Feminists have been struggling for so many years to receive the same rights men do and finally, starting last month, they found a man who can make it happen for them. It is quite ironic that women who are all about female empowerment put a man in power to get them more power. Since his rising as chief, McGowan was able to talk to the ''big boys upstairs" and close the 23.5% gender wage gap. "You can't waste time pussyfooting around with protests and getting all emotional about a bunch of irrelevant details," said McGowan, which is exactly what the feminist movement had been doing prior to his uprising. "His drive, focus, and determination are truly remarkable" said Gloria Steinem, and that is just what the feminist movement needs.

Cayote vs. ACME

This week in class we read a satirical story called Cayote vs. ACME. This story is about a famous cartoon character, Wile E. Cayote, who is suing the ACME company for all the injuries he has received due to using their products. The author, Ian Frazier, purposely chose to use a cartoon character in his story to show the ridiculousness of actual law suits that are taken to court everyday. Frazier's purpose of writing this story is to mock the people who sue for the most absurd reasons.
The speaker of this story is Wile E. Cayote's lawyer, and it takes place in a courtroom. His tone is sarcastic and mocking and the audience of this story are the people in the courtroom and the reader. I overall enjoyed reading this anecdote, I have never really read anything like this before.
