Argument and Debate Class

"The only people who care about feminist issues are feminists," my COMM professor tells the class.

I interrupt his dialogue by saying, "That's harsh."

"Well, it's true," he says looking at me seriously.

For a postmodern man who doesn't believe in absolute truth, it was an unusual thing to say.

After class, when we were alone together, I repeated his words back to him.

He looks at me, smiles, and then laughs a little.

We're in on the joke.
