Smith College: Radical Feminist U

God chick, take some Midol.....I was just joking

So hard to tell sometimes...But thank you for your concern for my health...

Yea, hard to tell with you too.... whatever

Well, *I'm* not the one who came over to this thread and promptly started in with you, am I?

Whatever, indeed...

Get over yourself - if you can't take a joke then I won't resond to you anymore....I thought you had a sense of humor - sorry I was mistaken

Yes, I'm quite familiar with your jokes.

No way I'd survive at my old alma mater, Vassar College, today!

My friend said his daughter was matter of fact about it and I guess she was dealing with it so no problem.

As to whether it is an absolute fact or not I do not Know, but I believe it.

I think most parents are probably better off not knowing what goes on these days and I do not think they(children) are inclined to tell them everything

It ain't like the good old days

When did she go there? It's just that not only did I never see or experience anything like that, I never even *heard* of that type of stuff happening. And like I said earlier, it sounds like something out of a cheap porno.

Of course my nephew with several Gay guys in his dorm at Yale can top the stories about Smith.

My family knew a lot of people connected with Yale. From what I have seen Yale has always been the Ivy League university choice for highly intelligent gay men. This goes back many decades.

Graduated 5 years ago.

It happens - where have you been? wasn't today some kind of day of silence for gay people? There was a post yesterday about some daycare center that wanted to encourage toddlers in homosexual play.
We are bombarded with this stuff
My wife took a required real estate course recently and they pretty much rammed homosexual discrimination issues down her throat.

Saying it does not happen is less credulous then when the current culture ideals are taken into account.

What's that show, queer eye something or rather?...

One of the biggest mistakes ever made in the US was allowing the Bolsheviks and other assorted trash into the country prior to World War II. Gramscian socialists and the Frankfurt School boys have been wreaking havoc ever since. During the 60's the degeneration accelerated.

I live right outside New Haven and yep, they got plenty.

You have to be careful driving through New Haven, Yalies are always staring off into space thinking some kind of abstact thought or something when they step off the curb.

Bright, but not enough sense to watch the traffic.

Wow!

I guess it's not the same college Barbara Pierce Bush remembers when she went there...

Gramsci \ The Frankfurt School

With respect to the subject of the undermining of the American family, and to
many other aspects of the Gramscian technique, let us explore briefly the story
of the Frankfurt School. This organization of leftist intellectuals, also known
as the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, was founded in the 1920s in
Frankfurt am Main, Germany. There it flourished amidst the decadence of the
Weimar period, both compounding and feeding off the decadence, and extending
its influence throughout the country.

With Hitler's acquisition of the chancellorship in 1933, the leftist stalwarts
of the Frankfurt School fled Germany for the United States, where they soon
established a new institute at Columbia University. As is characteristic of
such men, they repaid their debt to the U.S. for sheltering them from Nazi
brutality by turning their attention to what they regarded as the injustices
and social deficiencies inherent to our system and society. Immediately they
set about devising a program of revolutionary reform for America.

Max Horkheimer, one of the notables of the Frankfurt School, determined that
America's profound allegiance to the traditional family was a mark of our
national inclination towards the same fascist system from which he had fled.
Explaining this connection between fascism and the American family, he
declared: "When the child respects in his father's strength a moral
relationship and thus learns to love what his reason recognizes to be a fact,
he is experiencing his first training for the bourgeois authority
relationship."

Commenting critically on Horkheimer's theory, Arthur Herman writes in THE IDEA
OF DECLINE IN WESTERN HISTORY: "The typical modern family, then involves
'sadomasochistic resolution of the Oedipus complex,' producing a psychological
cripple, the 'authoritarian personality.' The individual's hatred of the father
is suspended and remains unresolved, becoming instead an attraction for strong
authority figures whom he obeys unquestioningly." The traditional patriarchal
family is thus a breeding ground for fascism, according to Horkheimer, and
charismatic authority figures--men like Hitler and Mussolini--are the ultimate
beneficiaries of the "authoritarian personality"instilled by the traditional
family and culture.

Theodor W. Adorno, another notable of the Frankfurt School, underscored
Horkheimer's theory with his own study, published in book form as THE
AUTHORITARIAN PERSONALITY, which he authored together with Else
Frenkel-Brunswik, Daniel J. Levinson, and R. Nevitt Sanford. Upon closer
examination it became apparent to critics that the research on which THE
AUTHORITARIAN PERSONALITY was based was pseudo-sociological, flawed in its
methodology and skewed in its conclusions. But, the critics were ignored.

America, Adorno and his research team pronounced, was ripe for its own,
home-grown fascist takeover. Not only was the American population hopelessly
racist and anti-Semitic, but it had far too acquiescent an attitude towards
authority figures such as fathers, policemen, clergy, military leaders, and so
forth. It was also far too obsessed with such "fascist"notions as efficiency,
cleanliness, and success, for these qualities revealed an inward "pessimistic
and contemptuous view of humanity," a view that leads, Adorno held to fascism.

Through such unmitigated balderdash as one finds in the writings of Horkheimer,
Adorno, and the other luminaries of the Frankfurt School,, the structures of
the traditional family and traditional virtue have been called seriously into
question and confidence in them blunted. Elected government officials and
bureaucrats have contributed to this problem through government taxation
policies, which mulct the traditional family while subsidizing anti-traditional
modes of life.

Additionally these officials are inclined more and more to the elevation of
abominations such as homosexual and illicit heterosexual unions to the same
level as marriage. Already, in many localities throughout the country and in
numerous private corporations, benefits previously reserved to married couples
are now granted to unmarried sexual "partners." Even the word "family" is
slowly being superseded by the vague euphemism "household."

A Lawless Land
Americans have long boasted that their nation is a government of law, not of
men. American law is derived directly from English common law and from the
biblical and Christian principles that are at the root of English common law.
One would therefore expect law to constitute one of the chief barriers against
the subversion of our society. Instead, in the field of law, revolutionary
change has become the order of the day, change so astounding that it could not
have been imagined by Americans of 50 years ago. None would have dreamed of the
outlawing of prayer and any expression of religious conviction on public
property, the legalization of abortion as a constitutionally guaranteed
"right," and the legalization of pornography, to mention but three.

Clearly expressed principles embraced by the Founding Fathers and set forth in
our Constitution are now routinely reinterpreted and distorted. Those that
cannot be reinterpreted and distorted, such as the Tenth Amendment, are simply
ignored. Worse yet, the ideological agenda underpinning the radicalization of
American law is blithely accepted by millions of Americans, who have themselves
been radicalized without ever realizing it.

Crucial to the Gramscians'success is the disappearance of all memory of the old
civilization and way of life. The older American of unregulated lives, honest
government, clean cities, crime-free streets, morally edifying entertainment,
and a family-oriented way of life is no longer vivid in the minds of many
Americans. Once it is gone completely, nothing will stand in the way of the new
Marxist civilization, which demonstrates as nothing else that through the
Gramscian method it is indeed possible to "Marxize the inner man," as Malachi
Martin wrote in THE KEYS OF THIS BLOOD. Then and only then, writes Fr. Martin,
"could you successfully dangle the utopia of the 'Workers'Paradise'before his
eyes, to be accepted in peaceful and humanely agreeable manner, without
revolution or violence or bloodshed.

It must be evident to all but the most simple souls that after the passage of a
generation or two, such ceaseless social conditioning is bound to alter the
consciousness and inner-substance of a society, and it is bound to produce
significant structural crises within that society, crises that manifest
themselves in numberless ways in virtually every community throughout the
country.

Crucial to the Gramscians' success is the disappearance of all memory of the
old civilization and way of life.
