A female misogynist in women’s studies

2007-07-15

I took an Introduction to Women’s Studies course many years ago, taught by a radical feminist. At one point this teacher related that she had taught one of these courses previously in which she a conservative male student repeatedly challenged her assertions and “got a very high grade because he added so much to the discussion.”

Was this teacher just talking? On the first day of class, we each were called upon to say something about ourselves. I was going through a misogynistic phase and told the teacher and class, “I don’t have any women friends and I don’t want any.” Later, before a class started, I told the instructor that I couldn’t make it to something she had recommended because “I’ve got a date with a guy.” She replied sarcastically, “You always get my day off to a great start!”

The grade I got in that class? An A. Academic freedom lives!

    Kinda like Senator Byrd (D-WVA) steppin’ all over himself to prove he’s not racist after years in the KKK.

    And I took one, and was asked to leave the class or I’d be failed.

    (Denise) Hi Gonzman. I hope you’re doing well. Perhaps our respective anecdotes that we took different classes with different teachers. And that teachers — even radical feminist teachers — are individuals with some being open to very different viewpoints while others are not.

    I had a similar experience. The “professor” was a blabbering maniac of a woman who made us write essays like, “My Allegiance to Feminism.”

    Apparently, and also to my surprise, the bulk of the girls in class felt no allegiance to feminism and related in their essays that they hadn’t experienced any form of sexism in their lives.

    The next class period, the “professor” ranted about it. “You girls don’t have allegiance to feminism because you haven’t NEEDED it yet.”

    I thought to myself, “Wasn’t that the whole point?” These girls are well into their 20s and haven’t ‘needed’ feminism yet. Sounds to me like its time to throw in the towel.

    I also voiced my “misogynistic” opinion….often. Once we read a “novel” where the “heroine” murders her son by setting him on fire because he was addicted to heroine. SHE needed to be “free.” SHE was the one who “sacrificed.”

    We were required to make speeches about the book. I said, proudly, “After reading this tripe I took a hot shower and no matter how hard I scrubbed I couldn’t get the filth off!”

    All of the girls in the class laughed. I suppose I was the class clown – but as a WOMAN MYSELF – I could get away with that kind of shenanigan.

    I got an ‘A.’ The only thing I fear is that the “professor” saw me as a strong, opinionated woman and gave me the excellent mark because I remind her of herself.

    Sick.

    In my college classes I (given the opportunity) presesnted the latest facts…. (life span gap;health funding disparities; court prejudice ect. ect.) to prove that contrary to the popular group think..anti-male hysteria..

    that it is in fact the men who are being treated as second class citizens!!

    My proffessors were taken aback because they have simply never heard the real story…
    the students were taken aback because they have simply never heard the real story..
    And even a few times, some of the male students (ignorant and under-educated) attacked me verbally, and almost physically, but I stood my ground..

    I believe the saying that modern man needs feminism more than the girls ….because I witnessed it!!

    At the end of the semester, after all the tension, argument, and debate..I ended up with a quite favoreable grade..and encouragement to continue my studies…

    If it’s that bad in women’s studies class, can you imagine what it’s like in women-only colleges. Like Kmer Rouge reeducation camps. Why most Women’s College Coalition members are exempt from Title IX is against equal protection clause in 14th and due process clause of 5th Amendment, bolings v. Sharpe. If Dorothy from Kansas follows the yellow brick road to New England, Smith Colege, Wellesley, Mount Holyoke etc the naive girl is turned into a Wicked Witch. Link to women colleges, exempted by Section 901 (a) 5 of Title IX

    At UCLA, I attended a speaking engagement put on by the women’s studies department were a notable male feminist spoke. Women were encouraged to speak out and did frequently, bashing males, often profanely, often abusively. When I and others spoke up, we were strongly discouraged from quoting the facts about men’s oppression. When one speaker pointed out an inaccuracy he stated about male sexual abuse, one UCLA administrator came up and said that any other men who spoke up would be thrown out. He was very angry.

    I’ve seen similar tactics practiced at a local junior college. This taxpayer funded, sacred, insular, religion (women’s studies), is free to ferment and spread its male-demonizing, male-bashing, man-hatred on taxpayer funded colleges and universities, then that male-hatred is spread out into my community (and my home) through corrupt and evil laws and policies. Annual “Cloths line project” events, and “domestic violence awareness month” events are other clear examples of the man-hating going on at Amerika’s colleges and universities – put on by women’s studies departments. By the way, those are separate events.

    When I protested on the public street in front of another local university, CSUN, campus police stopped and harassed me. They told me I was illegally parked, when in fact I was not. I pointed that out to them and added that it is bad enough taxpayer funded colleges and universities like CSUN and UCLA ferment man-hating (misandry), but when they spread that man-hating out into my community, and my home, it is only fair that I proclaim in front of their place of business, the man hating they so freely and despicably practice – for all the public to freely see.

    Condemn women’s studies prejudices at the university

    Condemn women’s studies prejudices where policies and laws are made

    Condemn women’s studies prejudices in law enforcement

    Condemn women’s studies propaganda

    Condemn women’s studies junk-science

    Condemn women’s studies intolerance

    Condemn women’s studies male-bashing

    Reject women’s studies indoctrination

    Defund women’s studies curriculum

    WOMEN’S STUDIES IS A TAXPAYER FUNDED HATE MOVEMENT

    I took a real estate course in a community college a few years back and somehow the subject came up where the male teacher made a comment that women were naturally better at being nurturing.

    I boooed him. He didn’t seem to take it badly and none of the younger kids in the class said anything. I was always by far the most vocal in my classes. In fact a woman teacher in a subsequent real estate class said she’d heard about me from one of my previous teachers. Ha! Most of the kids just sat through the class as bumps on a log.

    Didn’t hurt my grade any but I suppose that if I was in their shoes where grades meant so much more to their future, I might have remained silent just as they did. I bet that since the teacher’s remark was favorable to women, all the girls agreed with it while all the guys agreed with it because of all their brainwashing since birth.

    I took science, thank God. Not arbitrary idealogical garbage invented from thin air by intellectual cretins.

  • DadWith2Girls

    Let’s try to get one thing straight OK?

    Feminism is a totalitarian ideology.

    It claims to have different “versions” of its gender hatred, with i-feminists, contrarian feminists, egalitarian fems, not-against-men feminists …. etc.

    The root belief (toxin) in EVERY version of feminism is that gender = class warfare.

    Men are dominant oppressors….

    Women are defiled victims….

    To become a feminist you must first of all have a self-inflicted lobotomy.

    Then, it all makes perfect sense.

    There are ZERO feminists committed to equality.

    Equality = subjugation in fem-speak.

    It’s a zero-sum game.

    In the feminist worldview, if you are male, you are the ZERO part of the equation.

    Oh, of course, there are “good” women out there. The “I’m not like them” crowd.

    Funny.

    They enjoy all the benefits of radical feminist tyranny… and still claim to be “exceptional.”

    Whatever, all you ex-girlfriends!

    ray blumhorst…thank you sir for youre bold public display of opposition…

    I had a friend which took one of these womens (feminist) studies classes. Eventually, he was “administratively withdrawn” by the professor. They don’t want debate.

    You are so right. I wish I had a dime for every time I heard the same crap.

    Joi,

    Thanks for the http://youtube.com/watch?v=j5xNI4y56E8 comedy!

    I noticed that all of the featured feminists in this slideshow are old, ugly, and looking somewhat psychotic for the camera. (No wonder N.O.W. can hardly attract any heterosexual females under 30 to their annual convention!)

    The other videos branching off from this link are also worth a glance.

    Apparently anti-misandry is a new fringe genre on youtube.com?

  • jeremy

    I agree with Scottkirk about the great work that Ray Blumhorst does with his truck-mounted messages.

    Thank you, Ray. Your dedication and effort are appreciated!

    Thanks guys. I was making a new sign just tonight for this Sunday’s NCFMLA & F4J picnic in the Sherman Oaks Park.

    A FATHER’S LOVE
    IS IRREPLACABLE

    It’s all in 8″ letters. As I finished it, I thought, “No shy people should sit near this one.” You could read it doing 65 on the freeway with no trouble.

    Now on to the next sign,

    PARENTAL ALIENATION
    IS CHILD ABUSE

    The feminist will love that one. It strikes right at the core of one of their pet abuses.

    Some years ago I was invited to be a ‘speaker’ at a conference/workshop for Public Service Senior Executives in (our Capital) Canberra. A woman peer was running the show. At one point I was sitting to one side while she talked and led them through some ‘communication’ exercises.

    She was trying to illustrate how women were much better, empathetic communicators with a story of two women in a car on a journey.

    “One turns to the other and asks ‘would you like a coffee?’. The other answered, ‘would you like one?’ So they pulled into a service station. They knew what each other felt. Compare that to a man and a woman in a car. She askes him “would you like a coffee?’ He says “no, I’m fine thanks’, and continues driving. He can’t understand why she is silent for the next five miles then erupts!!

    She turned to me. “Wouldn’t you think (me) that just sums up the difference in empathy and sensitivity to the other’s feelings?

    I just had to rise to it, didn’t I.

    “Well”, I said, moving centre stage, ” It tells me that neither woman would own her own feelings or want for a coffee and passed the buck to the other. The man on the other hand answered her directly and honestly, saying how he felt. Clearly she didn’t really care whether he wanted a coffee or not but wasn’t willing to say what she wanted either. Then she had the gall to punish him with her self-induced anger”.

    I got a round of applause.

    Speaking of parental alienation in court is about to be declared illegal by the Legislature in California: If you are really serious that PA is a problem, Blumhorst, why not marshal your picnickers to take a public stand opposing that?

  • Ray Blumhorst

    WLS:

    I heard it was Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), and not Parental Alienation (PA), that was about to be declared illegal. I’ve heard the big gender feminist argument against PAS is that it is not specifically listed in DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) – published by the APA (American Psychiatric Association).

    Anyhow, we will have significant educational materials about PA and PAS with us and will be educating the public. We are certainly working to marshal supporters, but often it feels like pushing a big rock uphill. Of all the millions of men where I live, you’d think we could find enough to make a decent show at a protest, but the apathy, or whatever, is omnipresent.

    We do get decent interest from these little forays and they are (as intended) a recreational event as well as an educational event. In all fairness, it is painful for people to be exposed to the negativity associated with these matters so lots of healing balm and compassion is a necessity to get people over their personal pain obstacle, IMO. We are hoping involvement will come, but again, that big rock…

    It’s the whole idea of parental alienation that the California Legislature is going on record as invalidating.

    Basically they are agreeing that the more thorough and probing custody evaluations are, the more likely a child will be given parenting time with an abusive parent; therefore their scope has to be restricted and evidence regarding the cause of a child’s apparent antipathy to a parent, or what one parent says about the other to the child, disallowed. Not many members of the public are expressing any disagreement with that.
