Ivy League Conservatives

Thought so, but hey. From Hot Air:

Well, who knows. It’s not like anyone’s going to sift through the evidence to make sure.

“Ms. Shvarts is engaged in performance art,” a Yale spokeswoman, Helaine Klasky, said. “She stated to three senior Yale University officials today, including two deans, that she did not impregnate herself and that she did not induce any miscarriages. The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.”

Ms. Klasky went on to suggest that Yale would not have permitted a project of the sort described in the student newspaper. “Had these acts been real, they would have violated basic ethical standards and raised serious mental and physical health concerns.”

Some commenters were skeptical right off the bat this morning, on the theory that it’s hard to generate much “proof” of multiple miscarriages in a school year. To miscarry three or more times in so short a span, you’d have to do it each time at a sufficiently early stage that the result would be hard to distinguish from normal monthly output. Which is what this probably was/is.

I guess she showed the heteronormative patriarchy a thing or two about overreacting to, um, serial abortion as a form of highbrow entertainment.
