Hyper tied up, today, but may I strongly recommend you take 20 minutes (I know, that’s long in blog-reading) to watch Dr. Helen explore the values and victimhoods of the modern feminist movement as it exists on college campuses. She speaks with a spokesperson for (NeW), the Network of enlightened Women, which works to counter the extreme rhetoric of these collegiate feminists, and their nearly all-encompassing grasp within the colleges, with little or no organized opposition.
Really interesting, really timely. Campus-feminism is the Big Kahuna of the School of Grievance-and-Victim-ology, and they have become accustomed to brooking no dissent. Students who disagree with professors and literature preaching the feminist hard-line have learned to either pretend otherwise or to simply shut up and try to stay out of the destructive line-of-fire.
As we have seen with Sarah Palin, conservatives who dare to voice a different point of view about what defines both feminism and womenhood must “be destroyed,” and college students can risk their whole collegiate careers when they challenge the status quo. This organization, NeW, seeks to bring a sense of “balance” to the topic, celebrating both the opportunities open to women, but also the value and validity of motherhood as a lifechoice.
They’re also talking about the destructive aspects of hooking up, and the quaint notion of “respect” and “gentlemen.”
“Ladies” and “gentlemen.” You never hear people described as such, anymore. That’s our loss.
PJTV has been doing some really great stuff, lately.
