No wonder the world hates lawyers (wrote the blogger with a J.D.).

The Times is reporting that the court threw outRoy Den Hollander‘s suit against Columbia University for—get this—offering Women’s Studies. Weirdly, the court rejected his brilliant argument that feminism is religion:

“Feminism is no more a religion than physics,” the judge wrote, “and at least the core of the complaint therefore is frivolous.”…The judge also disagreed with Mr. Den Hollander’s claim that the judge should have recused himself from the suit because he attended Columbia.

Mr. Den Hollander, who had claimed that offering a course of study about one gender violated Title IX and the Constitution, assailed the judge as a feminist and said, “The only thing frivolous and absurd is men looking for justice in the courts of America.”

“When it comes to men’s rights, judges act with an arrogance of power, ignorance of the law and fear of the feminists,” he said.

You have to check this guy’s website to get the full crazy. I have the feeling that he one of ‘those guys’ who sees a beautiful woman…and gets very, very angry. 

PLEASE—BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things it doesn’t like—which is most things that are true.

We’ll say it loud and clear: At Mother Jones, no one gets to tell us what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please do your part and help us reach our $150,000 membership goal by May 31.
