Prof declares that 'masculinity itself' is 'the problem'
Campus Reform ^ | October 30, 2017 | Toni Airaksinen

Posted on 10/31/2017 5:48:37 AM PDT by C19fan

A feminist professor at Occidental College recently argued that men must renounce their masculinity and “denounce anyone who chooses to identify with it.”

Lisa Wade, a sociology professor at Occidental, published an essay for Public Books calling for people to “attack masculinity directly” to help the nation survive in the wake of President Trump, who she says perpetuates a “vile enactment of masculinity.”

Just ignore those thousands of years of civilization. All of nature is unnatural, therefore we desperately need someone like her who has risen above nature’s inadequacies to redesign nature. Furthermore, her theories can’t be proven foolish until we all blindly plunge into them and the quicker the better.

I'm a man. I fart proudly, and always will.

“Or maybe she lives in a women’s only commune? Can you imagine the whole place having ‘that time of the month’ at the same time? God have mercy.”

El Rushbo has often talked about menstrual synchronization among females in the same military unit. He also proposed sending them into battle at the height of their discomfort & bitchiness. They would kill without mercy and give no quarter to the enemy.

I doubt 3rd-wave “feminism” can do anything about masculinity.

Good points.

Could we somehow insure that Hellery, PuhLousey, Won'tson, Boxerface, Not-so-Feinstein et al would be in the front line leading the charge? Hard to think of a traitorous group more deserving of that 'honor.'

I wish it were MORE useless. The oligarchy has ruthlessly used it quite successfully to shred our nation and families from within.

The feminazis and liberals have been emasculating our males in school, in the movies, in sports and literature for friggin decades and it's still not enough or fast enough for them!

They won't be happy until ale the males are feminized and all the women are bull dykes.

Actually, El Rushbo proposed the “442d Outraged Feminazi Combat Team”, led by the late NOW chairthing Molly Yard.

Their battle cry: “I am outraged, OUTRAGED!!!”

What Drives The Trump Haters.

Feminism is a war on reality. The Professor, caught up in neurotic compulsions, does not realize the mind-boggling absurdity of her statements. A bright five year old--let alone a fifth grader--could destroy her with a couple of apt comments.

Sociology = pseudoscience.

Not one sociology major graduates with the knowledge that welfare is highly destructive. The entire profession, like its sister profession psychology, is simply one big con game.

LOL

I suspect "EXTREMELY-RAGED" and "DERAnGED" might have been fitting labels, too.

Yes and no.

Some do a lot of good. My psychologist housemate has helped make a great many lives and relationships better.

And Brene Brown has very solid facts from 250,000 data points about

--Vulnerability
--Connection
--Creativity
--Shame
--Trust
--Braving The Wilderness

That are top flight. She lets the PROVEN data speak vs her own opinions.

Besides, she's a good straight-shooting Texan.

Warning, Oprah is involved with some of the talks.

I would note that Brene Brown has some good things to say about "Dehumanization."

She notes that all genocide starts with it. Agreed.

However, She seems to avoid getting into the fact that some folks are really on the very dark side. They are driven literally by satan and are out to kill us, our loved ones, our Republic, our faith, and destroy our souls as much as they are able.

Frankly, I don't have a problem calling a spade a spade about those folks.

Of course, judgment is a key issue. We need to look first in our mirrors. We need to put ourselves in the other person's shoes.

However, imho, when the evidence is relentless and abundant that a person has 'gone over to the dark side,' and is not likely coming back--it is fitting and very warranted to say so and call a spade a spade.
