The Problem of Males on the Feminized Campus

From Lionel Tiger, The Problem of Males on the Feminized Campus.

A
consistent failure
of the school system is reflected in its failure to educate males and
females
equally effectively. If the problem category were race or religion it
would be
politically intolerable. But boys and men--no problem. - See more at:

Again, what they are doing is degrading "education" in general. Those "females" (one cannot call them "women" in any sense of moral maturation or accomplishment) are getting degrees that are mostly meaningless so far as the maintenance and the progress of civilization goes. Moreoever, the gobbledygook ricocheting around in their brain pans is down right destructive. It is not that men need to be "integrated" into this farcical parody of education, but rather that the whole scam needs to be pulled down.

The current generation of academics, extreme radical leftists that they are, are burning up the seed corn in the field. They are tearing down centuries of accomplishment. They are as primitive and as ignorant as their charges.

Feminism is a cancer; it, along with multiculturalism, will destroy us if left to spread.

Of course, none of this can really continue for long, for they all require the productivity and creativity of white males to continue the hustle, but this does not mean that our nation will be saved.

Again, if men and women where in the highest intellectual, creative and moral senses "equals" then the history of civilization would be radically different. Taken as sexes, women would have to create something equal to the civilization men have created these 6 thousand years. To imagine that women are up to this task is just the willful self-delusion of the Modernist (and Post Modernist too).

It is an absurd claim that in the history of the world we have had to wait for such a pathetic crowd as baby boomer, left wing, democrat hustlers to "liberate women" to their "true potential". These pathetic creatures of the Left would have been nothing but ciphers during the vital and creative periods of our history. In fact, they would never exist at all before we had stored up such wealth--the wealth we are squandering now. When it goes there will be little left to go forward. If you think that these arrogant, self-obsessed "women" with their pseudo-education, the content of which consists of little more than sloganeering and shibboleths, will pull us out of the abyss you are gravely mistaken about the true nature of mankind. This is not progress this is decadence, and it well may be a terminal decadence.

In fact, the exact opposite of "progress" is happening: we are destroying our civilization and suppressing the forces that can maintain and enhance it.

you are both right and wrong. Without women those civilisations would not have existed. Without men they wouldn't either.
Feminism has been a force of good before it became essentially superfluous and had to reinvent itself into what it has become, same as labour unions for which there was a real need in the 1800s.

Men and women are equal yet different. A healthy society has both, embraces both and their skills, and doesn't enslave one or the other (in the way current western society enslaves men, Arab society enslaves women as did early medieval European society, all 3 are failures).

A woman can make, if allowed to, an equally valuable contribution to society as does a man. Not everyone needs to be a general, a lumberjack, a miner.
There's no reason a woman can not do maybe 75% of jobs man can do, just as there are jobs men cannot do or simply are less suited for.
The idea you seem to have, and far too many on the political right, is that women are good only for cooking, cleaning, playing nurse, and pumping out babies.
That's no less idiotic than the idea that men are all single minded sex maniacs which in no small part originates from the way you treat women, as sex objects/slaves.

Please explain.

As a long married Grizzly mom of both brilliant, beautiful daughters and a chivalrous, intelligent son, and a woman who loves macho men, I agree about the revolting effects of PC on campuses (which bugs my daughters as much as my boy). BUT: I have also been appalled by the unchivalrous behavior of boys gone wild on the campuses I have visited recently.

I won't waste my time on the sluts and drunks of either gender as, mercifully, my own kids are studious and not part of that scene. No, my kids are not pulling the wool over my eyes--I used to be a youth minister and worked with troubled kids so am FAIRLY astute...

The thing about the boys gone wild, tho, is horrific: one daughter walks out into the common room of her college and hears people talking about how they want to sexually assault an "uppitty" girl to "embarrass" her, with debate about whether to use alcohol or drugs to make it look "consensual". The college in question makes parents and kids watch a video about the epidemic of rapes that occur in the fraternities to put the burden of safety on the girls, instead of closing down the drunken frats. Gullible freshmen girls get lured in to a "party", their drinks get spiked, then gang raped. Women are generally treated as objects. The "liberated" women hook up. To go out on a date is a subject of extreme anxiety as this means more than having sex with someone. THe net effect is for serious, caring people to withdraw completely from the dating scene, and lock their doors as they listen to the cocaine deals at 3 am on the other side of the door, and raucous laughter and beer bashes.

One can send a daughter to college with pepper spray and advice to "don't believe a word they say" but it's sad. In my college days, men courted me and took me out to coffee and talked about our courses and music and art. We went for walks and held hands and I wasn't worried about being assaulted or called a bitch for not jumping into bed with them.

Of course, my college didn't have frats...

I admit to having blind spots. Someone once said that most black people would be amazed to discover that most white people rarely ever think about race. Most of us spend our lives working, creating and nuturing relationships and enjoying whatever pursuits we favor. Sure, most black people do the same but it appears that they always think about race and racism which is why they see racism where there is none. Undoubtedly black history month was intended to acquaint everyone with the accomplishments of black people. But clearly today it is used as a whipping board to keep bringing up past wrongs to shame whites and anger blacks thus making them more plyable for the Democrats. Yesterday in a brief lucid moment I heard them say on the TV that it was Women's History Month. I was not even aware that feminism has decided to follow the black model and create a whole month to excoriate all males and generate sympathy among females thus making them more plyable for the Democrats (Republicans war on women don'tcha see). My immediate thought was it would piss me off if they had a "Male History Month". Kind of demeaning, implying I am a victim, I need propping up because in fact I can't stand on my own two feet and lets search together for someone to blame for my sad situation. What has happened is the search for equality has long ago given way to a lust for special rights, special treatment and "free stuff". It was in fact so successful for blacks that what would you expect. Now hispanics, gays, women, and all recent immigrants seek special rights and "free stuff". Actually equality is a bitch. Anyone who has played sports or competed for jobs (well without the benefit of quotas) knows it is a bitch to compete with an equal or a dozen equals or 310 million equals. You won't always win. Some, like Lance Armstrong, have resorted to disgraceful immoral choices to gain advantage. And that is exactly what blacks, hispanics, gays and now women have resorted to. It will pay off for them and therein lies the problem. While no one would disagree that welfare and quota's have pretty much destroyed black Americans it has benefitted a handful and they are the visible ones who continue this bizarro notion of equality (like the voting rights act). This will not end well. My advice to women would be to not hitch your star to this particular bandwagon. Don't choose this ruinous route which only benefits the elite and power hungry at the expense of your real freedom. I would offer the same advice to any aggrieved group but the others are "hooked" already and will never choose to throw off the yoke of special rights and "free stuff". Too bad human nature prefers a free ride over freedom.
