‘A Hostile Male Element’

Posted on | March 15, 2016 | 88 Comments

“I don’t mind guys being here, but I feel a hostile male element that I don’t like, and that’s making me agitated.”
Jill Johnston, 1975

One of the problems with trying to discuss feminism in the 21st century is that so few people understand the history of the movement. The insipid superficiality of contemporary “feminism” — a term that now means whatever any woman (or man, or trans-whatever) wants it to mean — reflects both the astonishing decline of education and the effects of feminists trying to expand their movement by depriving it of any meaningful definition. This problem is aggravated by the fact that feminists refuse to engage in debate with their critics, preferring instead either to ignore criticism or, quite commonly, to silence dissent.

At the University of Southern California, for example, radical activists have begun an effort to impeach student government member Jacob Ellenhorn, who is also president of USC College Republicans:

Ellenhorn was one of the main opponents against a massive diversity initiative last semester pushed by left-liberal student government members . . . As president of the College Republicans, he also hosted Breitbart tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos, a popular anti-feminist firebrand, at the Los Angeles university last fall.
At issue today is a complaint filed against Ellenhorn by fellow student government member Diana Jimenez that alleges he has violated USC’s regulations and student conduct code by his advocacy and actions. The complaint . . . alleges he “misuses his title while representing our student body inappropriately.” He was also accused of creating a “hostile” environment by hosting a speaker who “blatantly perpetuates sexism,” the complaint alleges. It also takes issue with his filming of a USC sexual consent fair earlier this year, saying he did not fill out the proper paperwork to record it.

In other words, no one can invite a critic of feminism to speak on campus because this “blatantly perpetuates sexism.” Ellenhorn is furthermore accused of “undermining the work of . . . the directors of our Women’s Student Assembly,” which is some kind of ThoughtCrime at USC.

Notice the double standard: Radical feminist Gloria Steinem was recently paid to speak at USC, and there were no protests reported, but let someone who disagrees with Steinem show up, and the Women’s Student Assembly is outraged! Jimenez denounces Ellenhorn and demands the dissenter be “held accountable to this University.”

Speaking of being “held accountable,” whose job is it at USC to hold the Women’s Student Assembly accountable? Because I just happened to notice that Vanessa Diaz, executive director of the USC Women’s Student Assembly, calls for “dismantling of our capitalist imperialist white supremacist cisheteronormative patriarchy.” Has a vote been taken by the USC Student Government on this issue? Has anyone asked USC alumni, the university administration or parents who pay $50,210 a year to send their kids to USC if they support Ms. Diaz’s agenda?

Feminism is always a lecture, never a debate. No one in 21st-century academia is permitted to criticize or openly disagree with feminists. This has been a basic problem with the feminist movement for more than four decades. Feminists consider all opposition to be expressions of “sexism” and “misogyny” — if you disagree with a feminist, this means you hate women — and whenever possible, feminists strive to silence their critics.

Feminism is a cult whose leaders use mind-control methods to inspire in the cult members a paranoid fear of the scapegoated male enemy. The feminist cult recruits vulnerable young women — many of them mentally ill and profoundly alienated from society — who can be deployed as “shock troops” in protests, and exploited as a willing market for the products and services (books, TV programs, Women’s Studies courses, etc.) from which the professional leadership cadre reaps its income.

The Feminist-Industrial Complex of Women’s Studies programs have turned college campuses into indoctrination centers where radical professors recruit teenage girls to this cult, training them to become activists and organizers for the movement. Vanessa Diaz’s denunciation of America as a “capitalist imperialist white supremacist cisheteronormative patriarchy” is typical of the feminist rhetoric and ideology now promoted in our nation’s universities, and the persecution of Jacob Ellenhorn shows how feminists use their hegemonic authority on campus to punish anyone who dares to disagree. Feminism Is a Totalitarian Movement to Destroy Civilization as We Know It, and nowhere is this agenda more clear than on elite university campuses like USC. However, the feminist movement’s hostility toward free speech is not a recent development. Feminists have spent decades attempting to shut down opposition. Professor Kyla Wazana Tompkins is Coordinator of the Gender and Women’s Studies program at Pomona College, who in February published an essay at the “queer feminist” site Bully Bloggers entitled “Ball Busters and the Recurring Trauma of Intergenerational Queer/Feminist Life”:

My first understandings of queer and feminist politics came through exposure to early radical/liberal feminisms in the 1970s. You can see some of that moment in a film my mother, Lydia Wazana, made with our then-roommate Kay Armatage (Armatage went on to herself become a Women’s Studies Professor). The film, about lesbian writer, journalist, and dance critic Jill Johnston, depicts Jill Johnston’s trip to give a lecture at the University of Toronto in the fall of 1975 . . .

Professor Tompkins praises Jill Johnston (author of the 1973 classic Lesbian Nation: The Feminist Solution) for being “what was then called a ‘ball-buster’: a take-no-prisoners, man-hating dyke”:

There’s even a key scene in the film when she gets really mad at a man in the audience and gives him an intense ball-busting dyke response to what simply seems to be his presence. She says: “Like, I feel a hostile male element in here and it’s bothering me…I don’t mind guys being here but I feel a hostile male element and, um, that’s making me, that’s making me agitated.”
When the young man attempts to engage her she explodes at him: “You better get the f–k out of here or I’m going to kick you right in the balls and get you out of here so fast man…. I don’t like your generalizations, man….So sit down, shut up, or get out. I feel a hostile male vibe in here, and I don’t like it….You don’t feel it and I feel it. You feel something different than I feel!”

She includes these two video clips:

going to kick you in the balls from kyla tompkins on Vimeo.

 

If you read the rest of Professor Tompkins’ essay on “ball-busting” feminism, you will notice that she describes serving as a volunteer “at Allison Mitchell and Deidre Logue’s Killjoy Kastle Lesbian Haunted House event in Los Angeles” last fall. Regular readers remember this:

West Hollywood House of Horrors:
Radical Lesbian Feminists From Hell

 

Halloween approaches, and a coven of Canadian witches have brought their dark and ungodly evil to sunny Southern California:

ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives has organized “KillJoy’s Kastle,” a “Lesbian Feminist haunted house.” ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives is a part of the University of Southern California’s Libraries.
“Lesbian Rule. Forget the dead this Halloween. Feel the pulsing throb of something larger than life in KillJoy’s Kastle,” reads USC’s website.
KillJoy’s Kastle will be a “sex positive, trans inclusive, queer lesbian-feminist-fear-fighting celebration,” put together by Toronto based-artists Deirdre Logue and Allyson Mitchell and organized by “ONE Archives in West Hollywood.”
“This haunted house of freaky feminist skill sharing and paranormal consciousness-raising reanimates the archive of lesbian herstory with all its wonders and thorny complications,” they explain. “Expect horror.”
“Dare to be scared by gender-queer apparitions,” it continues, “ball-busting butches, and never-married, happy-as-hell spinsters.. . . . Each evening of nightmarishly non-assimilated lesbian mayhem will include multiple live performances from a spirited group of international and local weirdos.”

 

Did any students at USC protest against Killjoy’s Kastle? Of course not. This kind of “sex positive, trans inclusive, queer lesbian-feminist” event expressed the anti-male/anti-heterosexual ideology that now defines feminism at the University of Southern California, as on every other major college and university campus in the 21st century. Parents pay $50,210 a year for their daughters to attend USC and be indoctrinated into this cult belief system. You may wish to check out the most recent issue of the USC Women’s Student Assembly newsletter, which features a link to “Capitalist Patriarchy Has Aggravated Violence Against Women”:

This violent economic order can only function as a war against people and against the earth, and in that war, the rape against women is a very, very large instrument of war. We see that everywhere. And therefore, we have to have an end to the violence against women. If we have to have the dignity of women protected, then the multiple wars against the earth, through the economy, through greed, through capitalist, patriarchal domination, must end, and we have to recognize we are part of the earth. The liberation of the earth, the liberation of women, the liberation of all humanity is the next step of freedom we need to work for, and it’s the next step of peace that we need to create.

Feminists blame the “war against people and against the earth” on “capitalist, patriarchal domination” that causes “violence against women” This is what the USC Women’s Student Assembly believes, and if you don’t believe that, guess what? You are not a feminist.

Feminists are trained in the USC Gender Studies program, which “brings top-notch scholars together with students.” Among these “top-notch scholars” is Judith “Jack” Halberstam, author of Female Masculinity (1998), The Queer Art of Failure (2011) and Gaga Feminism: Sex, Gender and the End of Normal (2012). Here is a quote from Gaga Feminism:

But compulsory heterosexuality is a system that makes it seem as if heterosexuality, with all of its imperfections and flaws and glitches, is the only game in town. What if there were other games, as compelling and potentially more equitable and easily as sexy as the heterosexual game?

Professor Halberstam has never played “the heterosexual game,” and in Gaga Feminism describes (p. 11) her approach to teaching Gender Studies as forcing “students who are deeply invested in norms” to “focus on the strangeness of heterosexuality.” Professor Halberstam celebrates (pp. 57-58) “queer parenting,” including lesbian “butch-femme partners” as an “assault on fatherhood” in a “reproductive revolution”:

The butch dad and the femme mom raise the possibility of authority without patriarchy . . . gender polarity without compulsory heterosexuality . . . and they make possible an education for potentially gender-normative kids in the arbitrariness of all gender roles.

Children raised in such lesbian families, Professor Halberstam suggests, will “see masculinity and femininity as more malleable” and will learn “how to live in a contingent relation to gender and gender norms.” This is the feminism taught by “top-notch scholars” in Gender Studies at USC.

Parents pay $50,210 a year for their children to study with these “top-notch scholars” at USC, but I’ve spent only a fraction of that amount to acquire a library of feminist books which all convey more or less the same basic message: “Men bad, lesbians good, heterosexuality oppressive.”

“Gay revolution addresses itself to the total elimination of the sexual caste system around which our oppressive society is organized. . . . It is now recognized that any Marxist-Socialist analysis must acknowledge the sexist underpinnings of every political economic power base. Gay liberation cannot be considered apart from women’s liberation. . . . The lesbian is the key figure in the social revolution to end the sexual caste system, or heterosexual institution.”
Jill Johnston, Lesbian Nation: The Feminist Solution (1973)

“In terms of the oppression of women, heterosexuality is the ideology of male supremacy.”
Margaret Small, “Lesbians and the Class Position of Women,” in Lesbianism and the Women’s Movement, edited by Nancy Myron and Charlotte Bunch (1975)

“Women are a degraded and terrorized people. Women are degraded and terrorized by men. … Women’s bodies are possessed by men. … Women are an enslaved population. … Women are an occupied people.”
Andrea Dworkin, 1977 speech at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, in Letters from a War Zone (1993)

“The radical feminist argument is that men have forced women into heterosexuality in order to exploit them . . .”
Celia Kitzinger, The Social Construction of Lesbianism (1987)

“Heterosexuality is the institution that creates, maintains, and supports men’s power. . . . And heterosexuality has its ramifications at all levels of society; it is the source of all other oppressions.
“Heterosexuality is the pivot on which men have based the norm and created the origin and measure by which all relationships are structured. . . . Men, through heterosexuality, have devised their own concept and thereby constructed a system that generates all oppressions.”

Ariane Brunet and Louise Turcotte, “Separatism and Radicalism,” in For Lesbians Only: A Separatist Anthology, edited by Sarah Lucia-Hoagland and Julie Penelope (1988)

“All women are battered women in patriarchy. Every woman born is in an abusive relationship with men as a class and with their system since the raison d’être of all men’s institutions — political, legal, educational, religious, economic, and social — is to achieve and perpetuate the slavery of women and the dominion of men. . . .
“All women in patriarchy are long-term prisoners of war, perpetual hostages.”

Sonia Johnson, Wildfire: Igniting the She/Volution (1989)

“It is the system of heterosexuality that characterises the oppression of women and gives it a different shape from other forms of exploitative oppression. . . . This exploitative relationship is justified and predicated upon the act of sexual intercourse. Around the practice of this act family relationships are constructed. . . .
“Sex roles originate from heterosexuality. . . . Sex roles must be created so that no human being of either gender is fully capable of independent functioning and heterosexual coupling then seems natural and inevitable.”

Sheila JeffreysAnticlimax: A Feminist Perspective on the Sexual Revolution (1990)

“Women’s heterosexual orientation perpetuates their social, economic, emotional, and sexual dependence on and accessibility by men. Heterosexuality is thus a system of male ownership of women . . .”
Cheshire Calhoun, “Separating Lesbian Theory From Feminist Theory” (1994) in Feminist Theory Reader: Local and Global Perspectives, edited by Carole R. McCann and Seung-Kyung Kim, 2002)

“Heterosexism is maintained by the illusion that heterosexuality is the norm.”
Susan M. Shaw and Janet Lee, Women’s Voices, Feminist Visions (fifth edition, 2012)

“Heterosexuality and masculinity . . . are made manifest through patriarchy, which normalizes men as dominant over women. . . .
“This tenet of patriarchy is thus deeply connected to acts of sexual violence, which have been theorized as a physical reaffirmation of patriarchal power by men over women.”

Sara Carrigan Wooten, The Crisis of Campus Sexual Violence: Critical Perspectives on Prevention and Response (2015)

Considering that this feminist ideology is simple enough that even I, a mere heterosexual white male journalist, can explain it quite easily, why are parents paying USC $50,210 a year to teach their kids why and how to hate heterosexual white males? This is the great mystery.

It is worth noting that 17.9% of USC students are Asian, 12.5% are Hispanic and 5.4% are black. About half of USC students are female, and thus white male students comprise no more than 33% of USC’s student population. Why, therefore, does the executive director of the USC Women’s Student Assembly imagine she is being oppressed by a “white supremacist cisheteronormative patriarchy”? Because this is what every student at USC is required to believe, and anyone who says otherwise will be persecuted the way Jacob Ellenhorn is being persecuted.

In 1975, Jill Johnston yelled at men to “sit down, shut up,” threatening violence if they did not “get the f–k out of here.” This is now official policy at elite schools like USC, where feminists are determined to eradicate and silence the “hostile male element,” once and for all.

    If Miss Diaz believes that the United States is just so oppressive a place, then she should emigrate to a non-white transqueernormative matriarchy, as soon as she can find one.

    Let’s be honest here: if a country is majority non-white, it will not be tolerant of homosexuals. The only countries out there which tolerate transsexuals and homosexuals are primarily white, primarily Christian or Jewish First World nations. If I may assume from Miss Diaz’ surname, she is (probably) of Hispanic descent; how does she believe a transsexual or homosexual would be treated in Mexico or Columbia?

    As the lesbian feminists attempt to create their own Paradise Island. I would point out that while women can be plumbers and electricians, the ones who go to college to study Gender and Women’s Studies are very, very unlikely to try to become plumbers or electricians. The women who do try to become skilled tradesmen are women who have worked with, and perhaps apprenticed under, male skilled tradesmen, and know how to work with, and appreciate, such men.

    When the lights go out, the plumbing jams up, and Horrors! the internet is lost, the non-white transqueernormative wimmin will start to appreciate the tradesmen — most of whom will be tradesmen — who fix things for them.

    No, wait, that’s wrong: those will simply be the hired help, to be looked down upon just as much as these highly intellectual women look down on the women who don’t go to college.

    Some things come naturally to men (e.g. scrimmaging and disputation) that usually require careful and self-conscious instruction to instill in women. You see that in fora like this which are 90% male and in which many female participants are ill-at-ease and adopt a mediating stance or, alternatively, sidetrack the discussion with complaints about how you’ve addressed them. (The women who participate in this particular forum tend not to do either; something about who is attracted to the moderators, one might assume).

    I think what you’re looking at here is a feminine trait (a problem with scrimmaging) grown so intense it is a feminine pathology (an insistence that disputes are assaults).

    N.B. I don’t think Gloria Steinem qualifies as a ‘radical feminist’. She’s a bog standard feminist who has had establishment connections for more than fifty years. John Kenneth Galbraith was a friend, Clay Felker was both a colleague and friend, George McGovern was a friend, Allard Loewenstein was a friend, and, at a later time, Mortimer Zuckerman was a friend. Her upbringing had left her with little attraction to domestic life (father a goof and a terrible provider, mother a Mary Tyrone-style drug addict) and her feminine charms were appealing enough to a certain niche that she could and did slut it up for twenty years or more. The was a capable magazine writer ca. 1968 whose later work was ruined by the straitjacket of feminist discourse. Her feminism was indubitably a justification of her (non) domestic life as well as a reaction to the contempt her (male) editors had for their (female) readers (e.g the editor who told her that their magazine was produced for ‘mental defectives with curlers in their hair’), a contempt she seems to have imputed to rank-and-file husbands. She represents an interesting contrast to Ellen Goodman and Anna Quindlen, tedious creatures whose feminism seemed to consist of a belief that men should think and act like women, and also to Bella Abzug and Eleanor Smeal, women fond of their husbands but addled by the notion that other women were getting some sort of raw deal.

    Feminists consider all opposition to be expressions of “sexism” and “misogyny” — if you disagree with a feminist, this means you hate women…

    Frankly, I’ve always held that student governments are “weak-kneed cesspools for control of the most active members of the student body.”
    When the school gives you a title, you now have something that they can take away. Hence, you have traded your independence for a title that will be meaningless the moment you leave the school.
    You might as well just put a gun to your own head, and offer the administration to tell you when to pull the trigger.

    “I don’t mind guys being here, but…”

    Can you imagine the uproar had anyone said anything beginning with “I don’t mind blacks being here, but…?”

    On the other hand, I am gratified to note this quotation is from 1975. Since 9/11 I have been attuned to what I refer to as “The Telltale But,” in which progressives give themselves cover by preceding their statement with a claim to believe the opposite of what they actually do. It’s easy to spot when you are aware of it. They know that their deeply held core beliefs are anathema to us rubes and therefore use The Telltale But to give themselves cover. Saying “We totally deserved the 9/11 attacks” is going to place them beyond the pale so they began by denying that’s what they’re going to say, and then they say it, having claimed otherwise with a nudge and a wink.

    Anyway, “I don’t mind guys being here” means, with the addition of The Telltale But, precisely the opposite.

    You can criticize feminists, just expect to be falsely accused of harrassment

    “Cruel” in the feminist sense where Mother Nature and reality have emotions and are misogynists who deplore lesbianism?

    It’s a don’t-ask, don’t-tell kinda thing; like the sinking of Atlantis. It happened, but don’t look that way or you’ll turn into a pillar of K-Y Jelly.

    Duh, it’s the only reason they dont encourage killing all the males (most of the time).
    In fact, in a good matriarchy there are always a few pajama boys who will lead that can then be blamed for perpetuating the patriarchy.
    Lazy feminists prefer to critique leaders than be actual leaders. Too much work to be a real leader. So much easier to just whine about the patriarchy

    But, but, but K-Y jelly is most famous for being a sexual lubricant, and we all know that all PIV is rape.
