Feministing!
December 21, 2004
The other day I finally visited the website, feministing.com, after repeated urgings to do so by the infamous and famous, Da Nice Guy. It turned out to be certainly worth my time and I encourage our readers to give the fisters a click as it’s unlike anything else you’ll find within the realm of everyday conversation or common sense.
At feministing.com, you’ll quickly discover that the patriarchy is not a counter-intuitive conspiracy propagated by overpaid professors, but, instead, is a quintessential truth of the universe. One thought immediately comes to mind after seeing the page and that is that these people have either been experimenting with Psilocybin mushrooms in their omelets or drinking large shots of rubbing alcohol to wash down their breakfasts as they assert, as a credo, the incredible:
“Young women are rarely given the opportunity to speak on their own behalf on issues that affect their lives and futures. Feministing provides a platform for us to comment, analyze and influence.”
Is this meant to be a joke? When do young women ever cease speaking on behalf of their own issues? What entity deters them? The editors have state sponsored educations and degrees from gender studies programs so it is not possible that at any time in their academic experiences they were ever asked to be silent. In fact, by the amount of verbiage posted, one would be foolish to believe that they had ever been silent about anything in their lives. Surely, they’ve noted the great crusade against breast cancer, a disease that has now been awarded its very own month. What about television channels like Lifetime or Oxygen? At this year’s Democratic Convention, male reporters were barred from special events without public outrage. Obviously, if the same thing were ever done to female reporters then all hell (and an army of ferrets from NOW) would break loose. Clearly, feministing must have emanated from the most unlit corners of the undergraduate brain.
For those of us who revile radical feminism, it is sometimes comforting to think that feministas are all horrendously ugly or, at least for the most part, lesbianic in their sexual orientations, but here we find contributors who are not unattractive or androgynous in the least. On the contrary, they appear to be young and fit. They even advertise their clothing and merchandise with the aid of a sexually attractive nymph (who may be one of the editors for all I know) which strikes me as a rather unseemly way to win adherents among the radical feminist hardcore. Their logo is a lithe and sleek silhouette of a woman with evolutionarily correct dimensions that will be sure to result in a loss of self-esteem among the scale-challenged, genderist rank and file.
One has to feel a certain disappointment at the way the Dark Lord Saurons of gender study programs have been so successful in poisoning the minds of their students. Here, at this site, we see evidence of how much the radicals have achieved since they took over the universities in the eighties. Their wards leave after years of study, sometimes culminating in graduate degrees, which leave them more amazed by the realities of the world than they were as freshmen. They can tolerate no dissent and would have no prospects for vocational success were it not for the socialist havens of the social services, the universities or the public schools.
On this website, one can witness the result of people with politicized educations being contaminated by the talk show virtue of “every opinion is valid.” Every opinion is not valid. There is such a thing as a right and a wrong opinion but those with falsely inflated confidence believe that they are qualified to issue clerical bulls on all manner of topics.
In their position statement on education they state, without reference that, “Young women and girls are systematically discouraged from a wide range of academic pursuits -- especially in the maths and sciences.” Nonsense, my own sister has a Ph.D. in chemistry and was encouraged at every turn. She’s the only person in our family with any interest in the sciences whatsoever. Is the fact that these women were “systematically discouraged” the reason why they chose the babblical gender studies majors that they did? Or was it the fact that they wanted to feel self-righteous on the cheap and not be forced to put forth any effort to obtain passing grades? You can be sure that there are thousands of students in our politically correct universities, at this very moment, who are making the same easy, catastrophic, anti-intellectual choice that these ladies made. It will continue until we stop allowing our tax dollars to stop aiding the propagation of hate through state funded radical feminist majors and programs.
