The Plague of Lonely Leftist Cat Women
Townhall.com | 9 October 2024 | Kurt Schlichter…
They said something wrong about the situation with Haitians in Springfield, and when JD Vance corrected them, their allies labeled it “mansplaining.” Well, apparently, they needed a man to explain it to them because they either didn’t have any idea what they were talking about, which is pretty likely, or they were lying to the audience, which is equally likely. Regardless, lefteminists have this strange expectation that somehow women are both equal and hors de combat.
[pun probably intended. — Oppo]
They want to be just like the boys, but when the boys treat them just like the boys, they cry. Twitter was full of mediocre matrons whining about how JD Vance dared to talk over the mediocre moderators. Too bad, ladies. Welcome to equality. Thicken that skin and stop bawling every time someone points out how you’re lame.
… They don’t care about women being killed on military misadventures, and, given the chance, they will happily draft women as cannon fodder – only not their own special snowflake daughters. If you think you’re going to see Kamala Harris’s mutant stepdaughter or her clique in uniform, you’re gobbling psychedelic mushrooms. Dying overseas is what kids like yours do. Their kids get their student loans paid, also by you.
And, of course, there’s Kamala Harris’s slap-happy husband. He’s the guy that Jen Psaki announced was redefining masculinity. …
Anyway, we all know about the story of the second gentleman impregnating the nanny and then having her abort the kid. This is in line with a lot of Democrat heroes and their attitude towards women. Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, John Edwards – every one of them was/is a feminist, and every one of them was/is a scumbag.
Harvard cancels over 30 courses; far-left History & Literature classes hardest hit
College Fix | September 28, 2024 | Dave HuberGoodbye to ‘Marx at the Mall,’ ‘Global Transgender Histories,’ Dua Lipa
Harvard has canceled over 30 fall semester courses encompassing 20 departments, but the History and Literature department took it on the chin the hardest.
According to The Crimson, Hist-Lit Director of Studies Lauren Kaminsky said class offerings dropped from 19 to 13 classes after five lecturers either departed or chose to do something else.
The canceled Hist-Lit courses include “British Soft Power from Shakespeare to Dua Lipa,” “Marx at the Mall: Consumer Culture & Its Critics,” “Global Transgender Histories,” “Indigenous Genders and Sexualities in North America,” “The Making of Race across Latin America,” and “Global Histories of Capitalism.”
The course description for “Global Transgender Histories” noted students “will become familiar with some of the global vocabulary of gender identities beyond the binary and will understand the historical impacts of phenomena such as racism, imperialism, and [the] medicalization on gender identities.”
Students also would’ve “discovered” the diversity of “gender-variant people” via “religious texts, poetry, art, legal cases, travelogues, newspapers, films […] and oral histories.”
In “Indigenous Genders and Sexualities in North America,” students would have gained knowledge about the “foundations of settler colonialism” and the “resistance to it” via “poetry, memoir, speculative fiction [and] media.”
…
They also would “interrogate” various works in order to grasp “the anxieties, joys, and power that arise when Indigenous people embrace their bodies.”
Two Crimson editors expressed misgivings about the cancellations; Zion Dixon said he was “kind of disappointed” about not being able to attend “Global Transgender Histories,” while Angelina Ng was “very sad” about the axing of “British Soft Power from Shakespeare to Dua Lipa” — the short notice caused a “scramble,” she said.
The Harvard Salient reports there is still a smorgasbord of far-left course material to choose from at the premier Ivy (some of which, at present, may or may not still be available). “Feminism in the Age of Empire,” for example, “critically engages the possibilities and limits of liberation through the global history of feminist ideas of freedom.”
In “Indigenous Literatures of the Other-Than-Human,” students will read 20th and 21st-century Native depictions of “other-than-human beings” and (Natives’) relationships with such — which are “integral to Indigenous ways of understanding difference.”
And “Queering Education” looks into the alleged “hidden curriculum” in American schools which privileges heteronormativity, cisnormativity, and “gendered identities.”
