Yeah, a Matriarchy! That's what we need!

Dr. Nafeez Ahmed, who has taught at University of Sussex’s School of Global Studies and and Brunel University, has written an article in which he claims that “global warming,” among other crises, are “gendered,” and men are at fault.
The piece, titled “Patriarchy is killing our planet – women alone can save her,” appeared in “The Ecologist.”
Dr. Ahmed specifically pins the world’s problems specifically on men; not specific men, but men as a whole. The way to solve it is by destroying the patriarchy.
He explains, “The global epidemic of violence against women and their systematic exclusion from the power structures that rule us are integral to man’s violent exploitation of Earth and her resources.”
Detailing the problems that face the earth, Dr. Ahmed writes, “The global crises we face today are legion, but their disparate nature is illusory.” In reality, they all have the same source: men.
Ahmed writes, “In all these cases, we see that our relentless plunder of our own planetary life-support systems, correlates with our unnerving tendency to divide, exclude and ‘Otherize’, often in ways that are so insidious we find it difficult, even painful, to acknowledge these processes.” He concludes, “But to this day, one of the most ever-present yet still unacknowledged processes is patriarchy.”
...To “the patriarchy,” Dr. Ahmed writes, “rape is good for business.” He even blames the rape of women in Middle East countries on “Western” arms dealers and “Western intervention”. In “Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine, to less developed regions like Africa,” the rape of women is, in part, the United States’ fault, he writes.

In more rational times people like this were institutionalized for their own protection.

You’re not fooling anyone, Jihadi.
In “Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine, to less developed regions like Africa,” the rape of women is, in part, the United States’ fault, (Dr. Nafeez Ahmed) writes. …Only by not intervening in these locations and punishing the rapists! which is something that the author would not approve of either.
I think he is just shilling for Hillary.
So Muslim men and gay men are killing our planet?
Oh-kay....
Well then, now it's better -- who wants her protected?
Yeah, a Matriarchy! That's what we need!
Professor = Pinhead
This crap sounds like a mix of Charles Manson, the guy who flew the plane into the ground last week, and a dash of Ted Kaczynski, all rolled into one. Generally speaking, when someone starts rambling like a nut, chances are, they are one.
You men are killing the ERF....
Hadn’t thought about it that way. I may reconsider.
Out and out propaganda piece. If the author actually believes any of this bovine excrement he’d suicide bomb himself.
We often hear, after the fact, how ‘warning signs’ were ignored prior to a school or workplace shooting. The good professor is precisely the type of person that should come under scrutiny for being a ticking time bomb.
More affirmative action Marxists spewing their hate.
Pray America is waking
I have to wonder, who really believes this nonsense...?
I understand a certain percent of mentally ill libtards buy into this whole cloth, but anyone with two functioning brain cells must be face palming themselves...
Theory advanced by Dr. Nafeez Ahmed; Men are responsible for all the bad in the world.
Fact: Dr. Nafeez Ahmed is a man
Conclusion: Dr. Nafeez Ahmed is responsible for all the bad in the world.
As a professor-—though for only one more year-—I think that the universities must be completely (metaphorically) burned down. They no longer even begin to address their reason for being, namely to produce educated young adults.
what an educated idiot.
