In the movie Guys and Dolls, one character asserts that "all dolls are the same." This turns into a bet . . . to find out what happens, you'll have to watch it. (It's really good, I promise.)
I, along with a healthy percentage of the population, disagree with this statement. It is clearly preposterous to suggest that all women are the same. Remove the dolls, now.
"All __________ are the same."
What have you heard there, explicitly or implicitly? All Blacks? All Republicans? All lesbians?
At Rebecca's institution of higher education, there seems to be a belief that "all minority student groups are the same." Hence, there is an attempt being made to consolidate a human rights group, a pro-choice group, a feminist group, and the LGBTA group. We don't know what is going to happen, but the LGBTA group is currently discussing how to avoid this consolidation and remain a strong, independent advocate for the LGBT community.
Let's hope the opposition wins the bet this time.
