We’d still live in caves, but with really really fancy curtains.
Sometimes a single incident efficiently summarizes a larger trend. So it is with New York University’s selection of its new president, Linda Mills, a licensed clinical social worker and an NYU social work professor. She researches trauma and bias, as well as race and gender in the legal academy. She is a documentary filmmaker and teaches advocacy filmmaking. She serves as an NYU vice chancellor and as a senior vice provost for Global Programs and University Life. In all these roles, Mills is the very embodiment of the contemporary academy. The most significant part of her identity, however, and the one that ties the rest of her curriculum vitae together, is that she is female, and thus overdetermined as NYU’s next president.
Mills is part of the Great Feminization of the American university, an epochal change whose consequences have yet to be recognized. Seventy-five percent of Ivy League presidents are now female. Nearly half of the 20 universities ranked highest by Forbes will have a female president this fall, including MIT, Harvard, and Columbia. Of course, feminist bean-counters in the media and advocacy world are not impressed, noting that “only” 5 percent of the 130 top U.S. research universities are headed by a black female and “only” 22 percent of those federal grant-magnets have a non-intersectional (i.e., white) female head.
Truthfully, I’m not sure we’d have curtains.
Female students and administrators often exist in a co-dependent relationship, united by the concepts of victim identity and of trauma. For university females, there is not, apparently, strength in numbers. The more females’ ranks increase, the more we hear about a mass nervous breakdown on campus. Female students disproportionately patronize the burgeoning university wellness centers, massage therapies, relaxation oases, calming corners, and healing circles.
I quote myself: Militant feminism arose as compensation for female inadequacy.
You left out basket weaving, foraging for crickets, pronoun creativity and obligatory kumbaya recital.
I decline to comment.
It’s why most young men I know between the ages of 20 and 30 want nothing to do with “womyn” of any type on a permanent basis.
They’ll use them for gratification but that’s it. The modern young female is very nearly the antithesis of anything a relatively intelligent person wants in their life.

Hahahahahahaha, bang on, and as fMRI studies show, when the EMOTIONAL area of the brain is active it shuts down the frontal lobe, were logic and reasoning is processed. So many women function as crying towel functionaries. Are you reading in here Ken Gee?
Why would they? See prior NY times article re a woman trashing her husband for maturing.
It would be no fun working for a female like that in a position of power.
Turns out that “sexism” existed for a good reason, not that it stopped exceptional female artists, scientists, and even “daredevils” – the “99’s” had balls.
Well, this is all well and good, but do they really think that Big Trans is going to stop at weightlifting?
As with assistant health admirals, or whatever Potato Head is, or “female Jeopardy champion”…every vagina-having woman first will be quickly followed by a penis-having woman first.
Count on it.
Our model of a scholar is no longer a fearless seaker of objective truth but a trauma victim in need of coddling and therapy, one who must be fed comfortable lies lest they curl up and die.
I avoided post secondary education and passed those savings along to my customers for many years.
The additional bonus was that I never forgot how to think for myself and take the pragmatic approach to life.
For example, at no time did I even consider taking the alleged ‘vaccine’.
See … right there … I was thinking for myself.
God made men a lot bigger and stronger than women to assure that they would never be able to overcome men and then rule the world.
Those were all good efforts by the Lord, but … hey …. Looks like even God can’t predict the future. Apparently, He doesn’t understand women either.
Women understand women and they hate each other.
:0)
Women are a lot easier to understand once you stop putting them on pedestals and look at what they do, not what they say. But I love that Al Bundy quote.
Criticize a woman and its at least sexism if not misogyny.
Criticize a woman politician and its misogyny and possibly a threat.
As they’re not just taking over the universities, but the levels of government, and so criticism of the government is becoming criminalized and bordering on terrorism.
Just wait till the robot dogs with the ArmaLites are patrolling the streets looking for toxic masculinity.
Now, now.
It’s perfectly accept to hate Leslyn Lewis in this country. PM Blackface’s survival depends on it.
If women did’t have a pussy, no man would talk to them, and there would probably be a bounty on them.
Have you noticed who created this website? You might be a twisted psychotic, but most of us aren’t.
Ah your feminine genes are showing. Quiver Quiver.
Go braid your pony tail.
Kate is more than capable of kicking my ass, your eye shadow is smudged go fix it up.
Female students disproportionately patronize the burgeoning university wellness centers, massage therapies, relaxation oases, calming corners, and healing circles.
To think that in my day we got along just fine dealing with the relatively light stresses and strains of our studies at the campus bar or the gym, as preferred.
The Victorian opponents of women in higher education argued that they were not constitutionally suited to the rigours of academe and would collapse in a faint or hysterics before long. And that was when liberal arts faculties were genuinely intellectually demanding on their students.
Typical women. Pissing away time and money on wellness centers, spas, nail salons, extentions, massages and other crap. I assume the equivalent anemities are not available for male studets, i.e. a peeler joint and a liquor store?
Linda Mills’ resume reads like a what-what of nothing. I went to some protests, I hung out at the mall. And whenever I read “documentary filmmaker” I immediately think “I make stuff no one would watch”. I saw a little news clip a few days back about a hole-in-the-wall art studio where thieves stole a few worthless paintings. They interviewed a woman who was introduced as the “Chief Operating Officer” of said art gallery. I was waiting for interviews from the Chief Technology Offer and the head of the safety council (North American Branch).
Now do appointments in government and the Armed Forces.
Diversity – original diversity meant man and woman, had the intended benefit of being sexually compatible
University – the opposite of diversity
Curtains require sewing…so let’s don’t go down that sexist road. Heads would explode.
Never mind that male seaman for centuries sewed the sails on ocean-going vessels.
