Toxic Feminism

American Thinker: The damage that radical feminism has done to our education system is incalculable.  Yet the movement continues to grow exponentially, and gender studies faculties, which promote female empowerment at the expense of what is called “toxic masculinity,” continue to multiply.

Feminism has patently skewed the syllabus in the direction of gender asymmetry.  In the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion, women have progressively come to dominate campus life regardless of aptitude and competency.  Hiring protocols are female-friendly, as are faculty postings and grant opportunities.  Qualified male candidates need to make alternative arrangements.  (As Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute muses, in the prevailing climate, Einstein might have trouble getting hired for a professorship.)  Male students, already in declining numbers, are under threat of allegations of sexual assault or harassment, ad hoc tribunals, and arbitrary expulsion.  McGill University anthropology professor emeritus Philip Carl Salzman warns parents in a comprehensive essay for Minding the Campus, “Your sons will learn they should ‘step aside’ to give more space and power to females.”

Unfortunately, too many careers have been built on gender studies and feminist theory to allow surrender.  Leftist government bureaucrats, university administrators, “diversity and inclusion” officers, and faculty across the entire academic landscape are dependent on preserving perhaps the greatest scam in the systemic apparatus we call education.  Investing in a false theory or inequitable practice never prevented its adherents, whose reputations and livelihoods are at stake, from surrendering their perquisites.  Rather, educrats and their cohorts will double down and increase their efforts to further their agenda.  They will persist in finding ways to evade the most far-sighted and ethically determined efforts to redress the parietal imbalance by refusing to implement new directives from enlightened government agencies. more

    Like the deep thoughts about “radical Islam”, it’s nice when they skip you to the conclusion, in the first sentence clause few words.

  2. I imagine there is a whole lot of demand for academia to explain how some women have penises, or can buy one if they want. They can probably take the money out of the biology and medical schools, as they are apparently obsolete now.

  3. I would love to see an all girl pile
    driving crew like the “A” team I worked
    with when I built the I-664 3 mile long
    twin span bridges in Portsmouth,VA.The pilings
    were 140′ cylinder pile 6′ in diameter with a 8″
    wall.Hollow like a concrete pipe.4200 Mantiwoc
    double boom crane on a ringer turn table with 19
    tons of counter weight.Dangerous work for really
    strong,smart and alert! men.

    That would be nice.
