This headline from the Washington Post cracks me up: “Daylight Savings Time is Just One Way Standardized Time Zones Oppress You.” It reminds me of a late episode of Murphy Brown  (Season 8, episode 7, “The Feminine Critique.“) She went to speak to a women’s studies class, but when she showed up, no one was there. Gradually, the students began arriving late. “Where is everyone?” she wanted to know. “We’re never on time,” someone told her. “Clocks are a tool of the patriarchy.” I told my Women’s History class this story. This is now a running joke in the class whenever anyone is late.
