Feminists: Not So Bright

I mentioned it earlier, but Prof. Mike Adams is still writing his series on Why Feminists Can't Be Taken Seriously. Today, he's up to Part VI
I’ve really gotten myself into trouble with some feminists at Grinnell College. In Part IV of this series, I listed “feminist-sponsored masturbation workshops on college campuses” as one of the reasons I cannot take feminists seriously. I then stated that no explanation was necessary to indicate why such workshops make feminists look silly.

But, after reading my column, several Grinnell feminists are demanding an explanation. Of course, I’m happy to oblige. In fact, the explanation leads directly to my next point about feminists.

20. It doesn’t take much intellectual firepower to become a feminist scholar.

I once told a feminist that the term “feminist scholar” was an oxymoron. She asked me what I meant by oxymoron. I should just rest my case but the masturbation workshop controversy really takes things to a different level. I’ll try to spell it out for the Grinnell feminists with one succinct paragraph:

If you need to hold a workshop to learn how to masturbate, you aren’t terribly bright. Remember, you’re trying to make the case that a woman can do anything as well as a man. That’s the main thesis of feminism. Yet, somehow, men are fully capable of masturbating without taking a seminar. For men, it’s a natural talent. For campus feminists, it’s another excuse to seek funding from the university administration. It’s also another sign that feminists are really uptight and angry.
This has also been my experience, both on campus and off. Most serious feminists are better able to argue their feelings than their thoughts, and, like almost all liberals, far better at calling names than debating ideas. You can even see it in the comments sections of this blog.

Where's the actual article? The link at the top links back to you. (Guess that had something to do with the masturbation workshop he mentioned... linking yourself :))

Paul, just this guy, you know? said...

Sorry! Fixed now!

It does remind me, though, of a "Dilbert" cartoon, in which Dilbert mentions to Dogbert the small thrill he gets when his email client chimes that he has mail.

When Dogbert asks if he ever sends mail to himself, Dilbert replies, "we don't talk about that."

What self-respecting guy would pay good money to attend a seminar with a bunch of other guys to talk about such things?

That's what camping/hunting/fishing trips are for.

Jay, heh.

I use tony@manlymen.org to post to feminist weblogs. I offered Paul an e-mail pointer to one of his e-mail addresses, but he didn't take me up on it. :)

No, Tony, but I did add Manly Men to my blogroll!

" I did add Manly Men to my blogroll!"

So did I.

Favor's returned. You do have a manly blog :)

I think you're missing something essential here.

Having a masturbation seminar - forget that even having one is a sign of the depravity of our times - is not a feminist thing per se: It's a female thing.

As any guy who's ever been married or in a long-term relationship (chaste or fornicationg) can tell you, women need to talk and share.

It's part of the nature of the beast.

It doesn't matter whether they are man-hating femi-nazis or stay-at-home devout Christians. They've been doing it since the days they met daily at the well to fetch water, or in their quilting bees, or at the laundromat.

It's not a negative thing - and I don't mean it as a criticism of them - but that's what women do. They need to talk, to share, to express feelings, to bond emotionally. Heck, they even need to go to the bathroom in pairs!

It drives them crazy that men don't. And it drives men crazy that women try to get them to do it.

We could go all the way back to the nature of male/female roles in the early hunter gatherer societies.

Guys were involved in activities that involve action and group effort - not talking or sharing (that would scare the game). Women were back at the camp, caring for the children and gathering food. They needed to share and communicate.

Now guys join softball teams, bowling leagues, etc. Activity oriented bonding activity.

And women have seminars.

So this seminar is just a manifestation of woman-ness, not feminism.

"It doesn’t take much intellectual firepower to become a feminist scholar."

Thats right, it seems every class I take we need to view things from the Marxist Perspective and the Femminst perspective. Its always the easist to pick out on tests or write about in papers though because its mostly one track mind crap.

Write a sociology paper with the conclusion that something bad is the result of patriarchy and you can expect an A. Write the best paper ever on soceities problems sprining from secularism and be prepared for trouble.

Certain professors always try to offer women's studies courses (since that is what they are certified in) but they rarely lauch, no one takes them. They never stop trying though.

One might want to mention this to the Grinnell College alumni association saying, "I've busted my ass off to earn a living after having received a degree from your institution, and you want my hard earned cash to fund this? What, are Grinnell grads in need of training for the porn industry?"
