Rape Is Normal?

Remember that goofy UT journalism prof, Robert Jensen, and the nonsense he was writing just after 11 September?

At the time, I was pleased to see so many critical responses to Jensen, but I didn't think it would last:

What happens when, in a couple of years, the current controversies die down? Will anybody be paying attention to these LeftWingNuts? What WILL Professor Jensen be up to then?

The answer, of course: Exactly what he's up to now. Sure, he'll be writing silly op-eds for someone, and bloggers will find them and many of us will have a good laugh, and maybe even O'Reilly or Brit Hume will point it out. In the meantime, Jensen will still be teaching courses and spreading his way of thinking about the world.

Well, it hasn't been two years, but sure enough, Jensen is still writing silly op-eds. And they aren't generating as much interest as they once did, but I would say that Alex Whitlock does a nice job with Jensen's latest effort, entitled "Rape Is Normal."
