Feminists Demand Sex Toys in Campus Clinics
FrontPageMagazine.com ^ | November 4, 2002 | Joseph J. Sabia

The Cornell Review recently reported that Cornell University’s health center is considering making vibrators available in on-campus dispensaries. This news comes on the heels of Yale University promoting the same policy via a lecture entitled "Pleasure, Physiology, and Sex Toys." Ivy League feminism is now taking the form of a giant rubber penis. Welcome to the 21st century!

On Wednesday night, the Yale University heath services center hosted a speech by sex therapist Carol Queen. Queen runs a sex shop in San Francisco called Good Vibrations, which, according to the Yale Daily News, sells everything from "butt-plugs" to the "Hitachi magic wand," the latter of which Queen referred to as "the Cadillac of vibrators." During the course of her speech, Queen waved around several models of vibrators and told the crowd:

"It may seem surprising that this is a small selection [of vibrators], but at my store we’ve got many, many more."

At Cornell University, the vibrator craze is being led by Somjen Frazer, a member of the Cornell Women’s Health Initiative. Frazer told the Cornell Daily Sun:

"At this point, you either go online or to the sort of scary and not very woman-affirming sex-shop downtown."

This raises some interesting questions. What would a "woman-affirming" sex shop look like? Does Carol Queen’s sex emporium qualify? Frazer says that one of the key benefits of having on-campus provision of vibrators is that "the dispensary will give out educational materials explaining how to properly clean a vibrator that two women are going to share."

This is what the feminist movement has come to -- promoting the sharing and cleaning of vibrators in lesbian sex. Susan B. Anthony would be so proud.

Some folks are thrilled at the vibrator proposal because it will mean an end to the stigma associated with female self-stimulation. Christopher Dial, a homosexual activist known for his support of student-funded drag shows, proclaimed:

"I think this is a very productive move because the sex industry is associated with back alleys, black boxes, and seedy sales people."

Who knows how many people have died because of back alley masturbation? How long will it be until we hear tales of botched masturbation with assorted vegetables? The horror! Vibrators need to be safe, legal, and rare.

Unfortunately for feminists, the pro-vibrator lobby is causing some embarrassment for Cornell and Yale. For instance, National Review’s "Corner" has picked up the story and readers are having a lot of fun coming up with double entendres ("There is a real feverish back and forth on the hot issue," "This lacks any penetrating analysis" or "What a cockamamie proposal."). Sharon Dittman, associate director for community relations at Cornell, has gone into full denial mode, insisting that vibrators and sex really aren’t linked: "Vibrators or personal massagers may have a broader appeal to those who use our massage therapy services for muscle relaxation. [Using a vibrator] can be a part of a holistic health approach."

If you have a giant rubber penis vibrating against your sore hamstring, you’ve got problems.

Frazer echoed Dittman’s remarks with this bizarre observation:

"Women have some really pressing health issues that don’t relate to sexuality. It’s not just about sex. It’s about seeing a women as a whole person."

Who knew that a woman’s "whole person" was defined by her sex toys? Feminism teaches us something new everyday.

The modern feminist movement has been in free-fall for years, but its influence still remains strong on college campuses. Steadily, its policies have devalued young women by encouraging "liberation" through (i) frequent out-of-wedlock sex with multiple partners, (ii) abortion, (iii) divorce, and now (iv) sex toys. Campus feminist rhetoric is beginning to resemble "Man Show" banter (without the humor). Most importantly, feminism instructs women to be open and proud of their sexual deviance. The movement’s latest foray into the world of sex toys should serve as a wake-up call to mainstream college women who have flirted with feminist ideology.

Then again, maybe college women will react just like Cornell student Sara Jacobs, who capsulated the current state of the feminist movement when she told the Sun:

"I think one of the most important things is for women to be able to get themselves off."

They are women, hear them roar, with vibrators too big to ignore!

Actually, this apparently does happen, and girls do injure themselves... at least according to Dan Savage's advice column which you can find at The Onion AV Club.

Actually makes sense. After all what normal man would want to get close to one of them.

And to make things fair, why not get the guys blow-up dolls?

How is it whorishness for women to masturbate? I thought women could only be "whores" if they were getting paid for sex.

Actually, no, I guess any woman having sex outside of a marriage can be called a "whore."

Wait, nevermind. It's perfectly acceptable these days to call a woman a whore for just dressing immodestly in public, so I guess it isn't such a stretch to call them "whores" for what they do alone in private.

In fact, even just reading this thread is enough to qualify someone. To all women who are reading this post: you are filthy, degenerate slut whores. You should read more decent material, and not flaunt yourselves so shamelessly in cyberspace. Whores.

And you're probably witches, too. At least there are some scientific ways to tell if a woman is a witch. Those criteria are so much more clear-cut.

Further engraving the mindset that men have no place in THEIR lives...
Sad little females.

Every guy on that campus wants to get laid. Every guy on that campus want's to get laid without having to promise to call later on. Every psycho broad on that campus cannot see that they could have many swining d*ck's if they wanted, so they turn to fake tools....

Dumb broads. They could have willing accomplices, spare themselves the work..blah..blah..blah...

Ah, what the hell am I wasting my time for. Them doofus 18/19 y/o's know far more than I do about life and college.

Afterall, their enlightened, vibrators and all...Which begs the question. Will there be sutiable "plastic" playmates for the males of the campus made available as well?

I love this; in a time of war and strange economic times, these whores are worried about sex toys. If there's any question about the mindset on the American college campus, this answers it.

This seems so similar to some of the adolescent men I work with who are so enthralled by their ability to fart. It is though they celebrate this remarkable achievement. In the same light these feminists are enthralled and want to celebrate this high achviement of being able to have an orgasm.

Folks, there is nothing new under the sun and somethings are better left to the confinds of ones personal life and personal space.

Masturbation in private is an obviously private affair. However you keep that out of normal society. You don't go trying to spread the gospel so to speak.

I think The Man Show had a "headache" remedy which might be relevant.

Then they'll wonder why men don't look at them as brain objects.

The men are expected to compete with three C batteries in a little league ball bat.

uh, I wonder if they will be giving out free samples like our doctor does for my husband's antihistamine.... please don't tell me this is our tax dollars at work. Maybe this is a leftover program from the Clintons...

I only have one question about this whole thing! How come it is causing such a big fracas when i am certain that well over 95% of men on that campus do some 'personal exploring' themselves (maybe more than 95% even). I am not saying that schools should go ahead and offer d!ldos to students ...however the adverse reaction to this seems rather one sided.

Kind of similar to when a guy who sleeps with anything wearing a skirt is called a 'stud' and praised for his skill at picking up women; while a female who even goes as far as wearing heavy make-up is automatically a 'slut' whether or not she actually dabbles in the opposite sex.

Something shouts double standard.

I gotta go with the feminists on this one. Brooms should be made available for their use.

I don't see the same double standard. I would agree if some mens group was advocating blow up dolls at the campus clinic.

How long before 'vibrator technicians' and 'dildo advisors' become touted at Ivy League schools as the next hot "careers"?

May "sex therapist" Carol Queen soon find herself at a hospital ER with a couple of industrial-size plungers stuck up her @ss...
