Freakin' inclusive language...why do women always have to have their gender included in everything they read or do. Its become a very wimpy society...its time to stand up and step on this feminist need for total inclusion in everything...I mean what's next...a woman doing play-by-play on Monday Night Football or the Super Bowl? Is a manhole a womanhole?

Is that sorta like asking what they have signs to designate the bathrooms between men and women? Wouldn't uni-sex bathrooms everywhere make more sense? Oh wait, femi-nazis already have that in some places....nevermind.

So this is what Valpo is serving up on MLK day. I told you valpower the feminazi's are taking over. Believe it! It's true! My worse nightmare has come to fruition; a public speaker who backhandedly denounces Clarence Thomas. I knew this day would come to pass. DAMN YOU FEMINAZIS and your radical triumphs.

“Resolved that the MLA urge that the phrase ‘undocumented workers’ be used in place of the abusive term ‘illegal aliens.’” They're going to URGE. Oh the horrors. What next, the comfy chair?

“Resolved that the MLA urge that the phrase ‘undocumented workers’ be used in place of the abusive term ‘illegal aliens.’” They're going to URGE. Oh the horrors. What next, the comfy chair? I don't expect a liberal like yourself to understand the nature of this trend. It's similar to a few years ago when the school systems out east (in liberal land) introduced Heather Has Two Mommies. The gays were shocked that anyone would be concerned. The critics said the real agenda was to legitimize a disordered behavior and introduce even more. The gays said heck no. But we now know that the gays do want special rights and do want children to read books that legitimize their chosen lifestyle. You liberals just don't get it. You're like the frog who is sitting in a pot of warm water which is slowly coming to a boil. You, like the frog, don't realize what's happening. Your psyche and soul get used to the increased temperature/depravity while eventually the frog dies instead of jumping out of the water and saving himself. This seems like small stuff to you folks. And taken in isolation and out of the cumulative context, it is small stuff. But society is being dumbed-down and is becoming morally depraved and ignorant and unable to take a stand. Everything goes! What's true for you isn't necessarily true for me. Relativism reigns. And you don't even get it valpower. Your too involved and in the middle of it - you can't see the forest for the trees anymore.

English for lesbians, feminists, queers, and communists By Mike S. Adams Thursday, June 3, 2004 Recently, I wrote an article called ?Summer Reading,? which was intended to motivate my readers to take some time to read classic literature over the summer. While mostly apolitical, it did close with the following line, which was deemed offensive by one of my readers: ?(Go out and) pick up a great work of classic literature and enjoy the reading. You know, like the kind they used to assign in college when English professors taught English instead of homosexuality and feminism.? The offended reader, from Ithaca, New York, called my above assertion ?sexist, heterosexist, and gratuitous.? So, naturally, I apologized. No, I?m just kidding. Instead of apologizing, I decided to search the webpage of the nearest university English department to see what I could find. Naturally, I went looking first on Cornell.edu. Here is a summary of what I found out about the English faculty at Cornell University: James Eli is an expert in gender and sexuality. Frederic Bogel is an expert in critical (that means Marxist) theory. Mary Pat Brady is an expert in U.S. Latino and Latina literatures and cultures, cultural studies, and American multi-ethnic literatures. Laura Brown is an expert in feminist criticism, Marxist criticism, and cultural critique. Cynthia Chase is an expert in women's literature. Eric Cheyfitz is an expert in federal Indian law. Barbara Correll is an expert in gender, cultural studies, lesbian, bisexual, and gay literary studies. Elizabeth DeLoughrey is an expert in feminist theory and women's writing. Laura Donaldson is an expert in American Indian literature and culture, American Indian women, gender, race and law. Alice Fulton is an expert in critical (that means Marxist) writing, postmodernism, and feminist theory. Andrew Galloway is an expert in the sociology of knowledge, and visions of women and women's writings. Ellis Hanson is an expert in lesbian and gay studies, and psychoanalysis. Molly Hite is an expert in feminist criticism and theory, and postmodernism. Mary Jacobus is an expert in feminist literary criticism and theory, and women's writing. Phyllis Janowitz is an expert in women and literature. Biodun Jeyifo is an expert in African and Caribbean Anglophone literatures, comparative African and Afro-American critical thought, Marxist literary and cultural theory, and twentieth-century revolutionary social philosophy and literature. Carol Kaske is an expert in Middle Ages and Renaissance, and cultural history of these periods (especially gender). Douglas Mao (not to be confused with Chairman Mao) is an expert in gay, lesbian, and bisexual studies. Kenneth McClane is an expert in African American literature. Kate McCullough is an expert in women's literature, feminist literary criticism and theory, and lesbian/queer theory. Dorothy Mermin is an expert in women's poetry. Satya Mohanty is an expert in critical (that means Marxist) theory. Timothy Murray is an expert in cultural studies as well as lesbian, bisexual, and gay literary studies. Mash Raskolnikov is an expert in feminist and queer studies. Shirley Samuels is an expert in feminist criticism. Paul Sawyer is an expert in Marxian and feminist approaches and the ways questions of politics and ideology can be related to close local readings. Hortense Spillers is an expert in the study of aspects of African American and American literature, feminist, Marxist, and more general theories of contemporary criticism. Shelly Wong is an expert in Asian American, African American, and ethnic literatures as well as Asian Canadian literature and, finally, cultural studies. William Jefferson Clinton recently gave the commencement address for the Cornell University graduating class of 2004. He is an expert on college interns with thong underwear. Mike Adams (www.DrAdams.org) is a professor of Elderly Asian Lesbian Criminology. Just kidding. Mike Adams is a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington

Fighting off the radical feminist assault By Jonah Goldberg Wednesday, January 11, 2006 Let me just say up front this column contains a riot of conflicts of interest. My friend and colleague Kate O'Beirne has written a new book. It's called, with no undue subtlety, "Women Who Make the World Worse: and How Their Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports." I think it's a great book, and I truly would not say so if I thought otherwise. Also, Kate praises my lovely wife as a woman who makes the world better, an opinion I could hardly quibble with save to say it's a grotesque understatement as far as I'm concerned. And since we're in full disclosure mode, let me upend the bucket completely. I went to an all-women's college. Mine was the first "integrated" class at Goucher College, a fine, historically single-sex liberal arts college in Baltimore. As you might imagine, many of the young women there, some egged on by very ideological feminist professors, had opposed the decision to admit men. The fact that my freshman year was also the year Robert Bork was nominated to the Supreme Court and Glenn Close boiled a bunny in "Fatal Attraction" might give you a sense of the larger cultural climate as well. While my undergraduate experience was not exactly the late-night Cinemax adventure some imagine when they hear that there was a roughly 30-to-1 female-to-male student ratio, I did find the experience rewarding on several fronts. One of them was that I learned quite a bit about feminism and feminists ( I was certainly exposed to more feminist theory than I was to, say, the U.S. Constitution or the American founding). I discovered that there were many different kinds of feminism. For some, feminism is a heartfelt dedication to women's equality, variously defined. For others, it is a shabby form of identity politics that serves as a crutch to compensate for low self-esteem and lazy thinking. And some brands of feminism aren't really about women at all. They're about using the "feminist perspective" to smash the "socially constructed reality" or the "patriarchy" or "bourgeois capitalism" in order to sneak into the mainstream debate various Marxist and postmodern nostrums that would never survive without the aid of victim-politics guilt trips. After all, the attack on "dead white males" wasn't an explicitly feminist enterprise so much as a broader left-wing assault on a whole bunch of things. But, most often, feminism is a mixture of all of these things. Moreover, many of the dedicated feminists I knew and befriended (and, yes, dated) sincerely believed in the cause. I have no doubt that there are literally no feminists anywhere who believe they are making the world worse. But that doesn't mean the title of Kate's book is inaccurate. The great sin of feminism, like all identity politics, is its narcissism. Feminists honestly believe they are speaking for all women; I think this way, I am a woman, I must represent all women. This is, of course, nonsense. For example, you wouldn't know from the conventional public debate over abortion that roughly half of American women are generally opposed to abortion. A large majority of women oppose the NARAL party line of abortion on demand. John Kerry won the overall women's vote by 3 points but lost the white women's vote by 11 points. (This is particularly ironic since self-identified feminists are overwhelming white.) When presented with this sort of evidence, feminists trot out various arguments trying to demonstrate that conservative, or otherwise un-feminist, women don't understand their own interests. This is a vestigial Marxist argument known as "false consciousness." If women only understood the truth, the way feminists do, they would agree with feminists. If you doubt the persistence of nostalgic Marxist thinking in feminist rhetoric, check out the reader reviews of Kate's book at Amazon.com. You'll learn that Kate is a self-hating woman and a fascist doing the work of her knuckle-dragging male paymasters. Anyone who's met Kate (or actually read her book) knows this is nonsense on stilts. A successful and independent-minded career woman and proud mom, she's equal parts Joan of Arc and mentoring den mother. In the broad mainstream of American life, feminism has become an anachronism with as much relevance as, say, Fabian socialism. But, institutionally, feminists punch well above their weight. Like their brothers and sisters in the New Left, they succeeded in their long march through American institutions, transforming them in profound ways. Many of the changes wrought by the first generation of feminists were important and valuable. But those battles were won a long time ago, and yet the would-be revolutionaries won't lay down their weapons or change their very stale talking points, casting age-old progressive schemes and newfangled feminist ones as essential tools in the battle against "discrimination." And women who don't get on board aren't "authentic" women, just as black conservatives aren't really black. The tragic illiberalism of this perspective should be obvious.

Feminist Majority of Dinosaurs Sunday, July 30, 2006 12:39 AM Old guard feminists are so fully stuck in the 1970s, it is almost laughable. That the world has changed and moved on is beyond the fading wits of the Gloria Steinems and Faye Wattletons and their sister hags. Their principal article of faith, that being pro-abortion rights is being pro-woman, has long lost its demographic validity: more American women are pro-life than pro-choice, women are substantially more pro-life than men, and the strongest support for abortion on demand comes from men between 18 and 35. Yet, these feminist dinosaurs cannot let it go… abortion on demand is their litmus test for everything and everyone. So much is their obsession with it that they will gladly label people like Bill Clinton and Teddy Kennedy “champions of women rights”. Tells you how much feminists are out of touch with real women when their heroes are misogynist men who have gotten away proudly with sexual harassment, workplace sexism, attempted rape, repeated cheating on their wives, and murder. Even now, as more and more neutrally culled data challenges feminism to its face, the middle aged feminists and their journalist buddies are calmly living in their cocoon world of three decades ago. A sample of the current facts that have passed the NOW dinosaurs (and their emasculated male Democrat and RINO allies) completely by: Fifty four percent of Americans, men and women, consider the Bible to be literally true. More women than the previous generation, most of them highly educated, are staying home to raise kids. Only half of the college going women, supposedly the most socially liberal of all women, support abortion on demand Close to a third of America’s women agree with the Southern Baptists that the husband is the head of the household A large majority of American women do not consider themselves to be victims of gender oppression Women are far more likely to go to church than men; the churches they go to in ever increasing numbers are the evangelical, charismatic, fundamentalist, and conservative Catholic congregations, not the anything goes mainline Protestant ones. A majority of America’s women think that the most important job for a woman is to be a good mother Many Democratic women are solidly pro-life. The strong sanctity of life laws enacted recently in South Dakota and Louisiana were spearheaded by liberal Democratic women. KsReaganite does not necessarily agree with all the points raised above. But the question that begs an answer is this: What Feminist Majority are these NOW cows representing? There isn't a feminist majority! KsReaganite’s tentative answer is this: These NOW cows really represent that small sliver of Prozac prescribed well-to-do women who have been educated beyond their intelligence, have hyphenated names, sip martinis while the daycare raises the kids, cheat once in a while to feel liberated, and show up Sunday mornings at mainline churches that tell them whatever they want to hear to feel good about their sorry lives. ksreaganite.townhall.com/Default.aspx?mode=post&g=b744116b-ffd5-4f01-a684-4d6e72e3c7f9

Your too involved and in the middle of it - you can't see the forest for the trees anymore. Please, don't talk of relativism as a uniquely liberal framework or use it as some kind of dirty word. It is just as much the basis for conservative thought as any other. How else do you rationalize the death penalty and the Patriot Act? I mean conservatives exploit relativism all the time. By promoting the destructiveness and rifeness of non-procreative sex as enemy number one (you know, things like homosexuality and saucy television) they make greed-driven warfare look morally like a parking violation.
