Dartmouth’s ‘Hostile’ Environment

By JOSEPH RAGO
May 5, 2008; Page A13

Often it seems as though American higher education exists only to provide gag material for the outside world. The latest spectacle is an Ivy League professor threatening to sue her students because, she claims, their “anti-intellectualism” violated her civil rights.

Priya Venkatesan taught English at Dartmouth College. She maintains that some of her students were so unreceptive of “French narrative theory” that it amounted to a hostile working environment. She is also readying lawsuits against her superiors, who she says papered over the harassment, as well as a confessional exposé, which she promises will “name names.”….(Full Story)

_______________
Comment by Fathers for Life: It seems that the good Prof. Ms. Venkatesan (now fortunately departed from Dartmouth) became confused by the validity of truth over fiction, of scientific fact over feminist diatribe and by objective academic standards over feminist dogma.

Feminist dogma cannot win a debate when confronted by objective truth. Ms. Venkatesan must have known that, which is quite possibly why she did what any self-respecting feminist will do under such circumstances, she threw a tantrum. I wonder if she cried, too.

You may wonder what “French narrative theory” is all about. Check the review by someone who was intrigued by Priya Venkatesan’s beliefs:

Amazon.com

Molecular Biology in Narrative Form: A Study of the Experimental Trajectory of Science (Berkeley Insights in Linguistics and Semiotics) (Hardcover)
by Priya Venkatesan Hays (Author)

(1 customer review)

And as to another term, ecofeminism, that came up in the controversy and raised the ire of Priya Venkatesan’s students, check the corresponding entry at politically-correct Wikipedia. It will speak for itself but has nothing to do with science other than that it is abusive of it.

Without a doubt, reality is catching up to feminist dogma. It appears that feminism is losing ground and not doing so well now. Tantrums or no tantrums, in the end the truth prevails.

California’s top court overturns gay marriage ban
By LISA LEFF, Associated Press Writer

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080515/ap_on_re_us/gay_marriage

SAN FRANCISCO - In a monumental victory for the gay rights movement, the California Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on gay marriage Thursday in a ruling that would allow same-sex couples in the nation’s biggest state to tie the knot.

Domestic partnerships are not a good enough substitute for marriage, the justices ruled 4-3 in an opinion written by Chief Justice Ron George.

Outside the courthouse, gay marriage supporters cried and cheered as news spread of the decision.

“Our state now recognizes that an individual’s capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual’s sexual orientation,” the court wrote.

The city of San Francisco, two dozen gay and lesbian couples and gay rights groups sued in March 2004 after the court halted San Francisco’s monthlong same-sex wedding march.

“Today the California Supreme Court took a giant leap to ensure that everybody — not just in the state of California, but throughout the country — will have equal treatment under the law,” said City Attorney Dennis Herrera, who argued the case for San Francisco gays.

_________________
Comment by Fathers for Life: It appears that the power of judiciary activists over democratic rights has no limits.  Nevertheless, gay-marriage rights are practically a non-issue, as very few gays will exercise their right to be married.  Moreover, such marriages do on average not last very long.

Commited one-on-one relationships of male homosexuals last on average about one year, while female homosexuals experience on average a slightly longer interval of such relationships, about 1½ years.

It is quite likely that the only parties for whom gay marriage rights are truly a boon are those who make a living by working in the divorce industry.  The more gays marry, the more divorces there will be, and the more earnings and employment opportunities will be had in the divorce industry.

Although some time ago I had read a good portion of the article by Barbara Kay that is identified below, I did not get around until now to read all of it.

Please accept my apologies for not pointing you to it sooner. It makes little difference whether the apology is necessary because you read the article already or whether it is because you did not yet have a chance to read it.

Who’s oppressing who?

Barbara Kay
http://www.mercatornet.com/articles/whos_oppressing_who/

Barbara Kay’s article is “an excerpt from a speech given [in about the beginning of April 2008] to the McGill University Women’s Alumnae Association on the Impact of Feminism on Society.” Her article exposes modern feminism as an ideology that has had and still has a very detrimental, even deadly, wide-ranging impact on society; not just nationally but increasingly on a global level. She explains the nature of the destructive impact of feminism on families, on women, men (”If one sex wins, the other loses.”) and children, and on social, moral, economic and judiciary standards.

The article received 88 comments by people from all sectors of society and from all over the world. Those comments, too, are worth reading. They include things such as [more or less picked at random]:

• A complaint by a fathers rights activist who expresses his anger about being a victim of feminism because he is a father. Incongruously, he didn’t say anything at all about the suffering his children (for some of whom he deliberately ceased to be a father; which fact he naturally did not mention) have to go through on account of growing up without their father.
• A comment by Kim that questions Barbara Kay’s journalistic integrity and objects to the whole article because the article identifies the Arabs’ hostility toward Israel as “anti-Semitism”.
  Kim stated: “Arabs cannot, by definition, be “antisemitic” since the Semitic language family includes Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic languages and the historical term “Semite” refers to all those who consider themselves descendants of the Biblical Shem, “anti-Semitism” should be likewise inclusive. “Anti-Semitism” should be extended to include prejudice against Arabs or Anti-Arabism.”
  Well, aside from being fond of run-on sentences, Kim is obviously a feminist. Weak and false logic has always been the crumbling all-pervasive glue of feminism; which almost certainly explains why feminists make so extremely little logical sense. Whether or not Kim will concede the point, Arabs can be and are anti-Semitic if they express their hatred of Jews in words and deeds — as surely as anyone can kill himself by accident or through suicide. However, going by Kim’s feminist logic, suicides could no more be real than anti-Semitism by Arabs against Jews can be.
• A comment by a father who raised children in a long-term marriage expressed profound disturbance on account of the state-manipulation of families identified by Barbara Kay. It is encouraging that this father so late in life discovered the long-standing reality of feminism’s oppressive social engineering. Let’s hope that he now will do something about what disturbs him.
• Then there is a profound comment by Yves Pageau, who stated that “In 1905 France voted a law déclaring the separation between Churches and state. I wished we would do likewise by declaring separation between feminism and government. It would make things a lot easier for everyone including feminism.” He is of course absolutely correct. Feminism is a state-sponsored and -imposed religion, not the least on account of the atheism (and, moreover, paganism) with which it is so exceedingly strong intertwined.
• Angelina Steenstra stated: “Having just read Ms Kay’s article I want to applaud and say thank you. Having been seduced by the feminist agenda and scarred, literally and figuratively by its false promises to the point of losing three children before birth to an abortion, abortifacient contraception and an ectopic pregnancy due to scar tissue from a sexually transmitted disease I am deeply grateful for this honest appraisal of the fruits of false feminism….”
• Denis identified the ideological foundation of feminism as being Marxist, by stating amongst other things, “The Marxists recognized the possibilities to use women as a way to expand Marxism throughout the culture. American women became useful idiots. The goal of the Marxists was the destruction of the West. To do this they needed to destabilize the relationships between males and females. They encouraged adversary and competition between men and women. They encouraged a promiscuous culture. America’s days as a great country will end. Those young and alive today will witness this….” Denis’ sentiments are born out by facts (to whom he points in his comments). If the feminist-communist connection is news to you, you may wish to look up some of the articles in this index.

The 88 comments contain a smattering of clearly feminist opinions (not surprisingly, quite a few are by feminist or homosexual men) that illuminate the extreme family-hostility of feminism. They provide an excellent profile not only of the diversity of cultural views on the family and on the politics of sex but also of the views of fathers-rights activists — of whom a few appear to be as self-centered as feminism is.

It must be hoped that in the end pro-family views in society will win over feminist extremism and over any other extremist cultural separatists. More articles like Barbara Kay’s Who’s oppressing who? will greatly help with that.

Barbara Kay’s article contains two relatively small flaws, although in absolute terms those flaws are not small at all. One of those is her omission of the Marxist ideological foundation of feminism. The other is an omission relating to children born to women late in life. The risks of such late births are serious for women, as Barbara Kay identified, but even more so for children. The risk that a child will be born with a chromosomal aberration increases with the age of the expectant mother. For Down’s syndrome alone, that risk ranges from one in 2000 live births by mothers in their twenties to one in 50 live births by mothers who are over 40.

FEMINISM AND THE FAMILY

Janice Shaw Crouse, Ph.D.

Quotes:

FEMINIST OUTCOMES ON THE FAMILY

Let me review some of the collateral damage from a promiscuous lifestyle of so-called “free” love.

• Currently, less than 52 percent of U.S. households include a married couple.

• More than 50 million women lived alone at the end of the twentieth century.

• Since 1970 the marriage rate has declined by about 25 percent and the divorce rate has increased by nearly 80 percent.  Half of all marriages have ended in divorce since the early ‘80s. This means that more than 35 million children  are left bereft with the majority of them living with a single mother and living in poverty.

• The total number of cohabitating couples at the beginning of this decade was approaching 5 million and the number is rising steadily.

• 10 million adults under the age of 25 will contract an STD this year.

• The staggering increase in out-of-wedlock births is the defining characteristic of the demographics of the 20^th century –– one-third of children are born out-of-wedlock in the U.S.

• Of the women between the ages of 15 and 44—those most likely to get married—less than half, only 49 percent, are now married.

• Abortion upon demand has meant the end of life for 45 million babies . . . and untold pain for the women who would have been their mothers.

• 59% of our children are now spending a significant portion of their childhood and adolescence in single parent families. That means, according to the social science evidence, that 25% of them will never reach productive adulthood.

Will we be able to do anything now?  At the end of the revolution?

One thing is clear – no nation can long endure without strong, healthy families founded on the inviolable institution of marriage –– the union of one man and one women committed to each other for a lifetime.

So something must be done – everyone has got to do something!

Planting the seeds of a demographic winter

Robert Knight - Guest Columnist - 5/14/2008 2:10:00 PM

Did you know that planting a tree won’t save the earth? You’ve got to plant 483 trees just to offset your household’s carbon footprint. And that’s just for two people.

We know this because the Washington Post Home section on May 8 featured a cover story encouraging folks to plant trees while sternly warning them that this won’t help much because people are a cancer on the planet.

Okay, they didn’t quite put it that way, but it would be hard to miss the message. A graphic with 483 little green trees illustrates this stat from the EPA: “A two-person household is responsible for releasing 41,500 pounds of CO2 into the atmosphere each year. To offset that, each household would have to plant 483 trees and let them grow for 10 years.”

If a two-person household is that bad, what does that make families with children? Environmental criminals, at the least, and maybe earth wreckers….(Full Story)

This article is almost a year old but important to look at again in the context of the evolution of the decay of the Occident and the role of the implementation of the international agenda for the planned destruction of the family in the acceleration of the deconstruction of western civilization.

Heretical Sex
Monday, August 27, 2007

The contemporary cultural and political war against the family has several causes, of which feminism is by far the most significant.

‘First-wave’ feminists in the early Twentieth Century were not at all anti-family. Indeed, one of their demands was that control of hearth and home should be the domain of women. Reference.

It was only as a result of second-wave feminism, in the late 1960s, that the feminist attack on the family began. Neil Lyndon, in his 1992 book ‘No More Sex War’, was perhaps the first to trace the origins of second-wave feminist ideology to Marxism….

Many males in western societies seem to be behaving very badly these days.

They seem to be becoming more involved with crime. They seem to be growing more dishonest. They seem to be increasingly hostile and aggressive toward others. They seem less committed to their partners and to their families. They are clearly doing less well in terms of their education. And they seem to be more pre-occupied with their own narrow self-interests than they used to be.

Why is this so?

What can possibly account for this apparent deterioration in the behaviours of western men?

Have their genes suddenly taken a dive for the worse?

PROFESSOR Mark Wooden this week learned how shocking it is to tell people the surest way to earn more is to work harder.

Actually, that’s not shocking at all, is it? Common sense, really. Refreshing.

But not if you’re a certain kind of professional complainer. Then you gasp at the crass rudeness of blockheads such as Wooden. Literally gasp.

To illustrate, here’s a report this week from news.com.au: “(The) pay equity gap between men and women in Australia will not close until women are prepared to work longer hours, an academic says.

“Social researcher for the University of Melbourne Mark Wooden said men were earning on average 15 per cent more than women because they put in more time at the workplace.”

Quite true, of course, but read on: “The only male taking part in a National Press Club panel discussion about the pay equity gap, Prof Wooden’s remarks drew gasps from the mostly female audience.”

Gasps? Here were professional women being told of a link between hours and pay, and gasping?

I refuse to believe all these women, including ones as successful and seemingly bright as Minister for the Status of Women Tanya Plibersek, are actually so dumb as to not know that Wooden is actually right….(Full Story and Comments)

Daughter fails math test, so dad thrown in jail

Pop gets 6-month sentence for contributing to delinquency

A northern Kentucky man is in jail today – serving a 180-day sentence – because his 18-year-old daughter failed a math test and didn’t get her General Equivalency Diploma, or GED, as a previous court order required.

Brittany Gegner, the daughter, says if anyone should be jailed, it should be her.

“It’s like I should, if anybody should be punished for this,” Brittany told WCPO-TV in Cincinnati. “I would way rather me go to jail than my dad.”

Even Brian Gegner’s ex-wife agrees the judge’s decision is absurd….(Full Story)
