Why Does Lesbian @SaraAlcid Want to Help More Women Kill Their Babies?

Posted on Comments


It isn’t every day that a “Queer Feminist” with a diploma from Bryn Mawr (undergraduate tuition $42,870 a year) decides she needs my attention, but I’m so grateful for Miss Alcid’s encouragement to expand on what I said this morning:

“Professor Aptheker is exactly right: If you want to be a
true feminist, you must be a Communist lesbian.”

The inherent radicalism of the women’s movement — its theoretical foundation in Marxism, its implacable antagonism to traditional marriage and other institutions of bourgeois society — is not generally understood outside such campus cauldrons as Bryn Mawr.

Feminism is a totalitarian ideology. It cannot be co-opted or moderated. You cannot negotiate or compromise with feminism, because the ambitions of feminism are without limit. They can accept nothing short of the complete overthrow of “hitherto existing society” (Marx and Engels) resulting in their own dictatorial authority. Halfway “reform” (to which the bourgeoisie may agree in its attempt to stave off this upheaval) can never placate the revolutionary, because the radical does not seek reform, but rather destruction. And the problem that most conservatives have, in trying to cope with radical movements, is that the typical conservative cannot imagine how fanatical — how rigidly unreasonable, how full of passionate destructive hatefulness — the radical really is. Notice how Sara Alcid illustrated her Valentine’s Day article:

“Heteronormativity and gender roles also rear their ugly heads on Valentine’s Day. Gifts for ‘him’ or ‘her’ are clearly divided and marked and it’s almost impossible to find cards that represent queer couples. . . .
“It’s not hard to see why Valentine’s Day is problematic for many feminists. Celebrated traditionally, Valentine’s Day magnifies many of the very systems of domination that we work to critique and dismantle.”
— Sara Alcid, “Valentine’s Day: What’s A Feminist To Do?” EverydayFeminism.com, Feb. 14, 2013

What does Sara Alcid mean by “patriarchy”? Well, if you live in a normal family — husband, wife, children — she means you.

Sara Alcid wants to smash your family, smash your faith, smash your community. This is what she means in denouncing “heteronormativity and gender roles” and “systems of domination.”

Sara Alcid hates you, she hates every institution you cherish and respect, and she considers your love for these institutions to be hate.

Sara Alcid believes this because she has been taught this. The fact that you cannot afford $42,870 a year to learn to think like Sara Alcid thinks is further proof of your inferiority, and your inferiority in turn justifies Sara Alcid‘s fanatical determination to destroy everything you love — in the name of “liberation,” of course.

This is Sarah Alcid with her radical lesbian heroine, acclaimed “queer theory” feminist Judith Butler, a notorious enemy of Israel:

Butler has devoted much of her academic career to the struggle to eliminate the state of Israel.  . . .
Butler denounces Israel’s “arbitrary state violence” and “state racism.” She has been a leader in the campaign to impose a worldwide boycott against Israeli universities. . . .
In February 2010, Butler went to the West Bank to demonstrate against the alleged mistreatment of women by Zionist “occupiers.” She denounced Israel at length for its “mistreatment” of Arab women.

This is not coincidental: Israel is America’s ally and because Judith Butler hates America, she must hate Israel, too. Because feminism!

Why does Sara Alcid love Israel-hater Judith Butler? Because Bryn Mawr taught her to love Judith Butler:

Preeminent gender theorist and philosopher Judith Butler holds the 2011 Mary Flexner Lectureship at Bryn Mawr College, joining the ranks of some of the world’s most influential humanists in presenting significant new work at Bryn Mawr.
During her three-week residency in November, Butler is giving a series of three public lectures titled Bodies in Alliance, the first presentation of new work by Butler that is to be published by Harvard University Press. Bryn Mawr faculty members and graduate students join Butler to discuss each lecture after it is presented. Butler has also visited class meetings of five undergraduate courses that incorporate Butler’s work and are being offered in conjunction with the lecture series this fall. Other activities associated with the Flexner Lecture Series include a film series, several informal opportunities for students to meet and talk with Butler, and “Preoccupations: Looking at Pictures with Judith Butler,” a colloquium sponsored by the College’s Center for Visual Culture.

Sarah Alcid wrote 12 articles about Judith Butler’s lectureship, including one entitled, “Judith Butler: A Superstar at Bryn Mawr“:

A flurry of extended excitement could be detected at Bryn Mawr from the moment Judith Butler’s Mary Flexner Lectureship was announced until many students had their parting words with the scholar at the book signing on November 21st. I shared this excitement with my peers and think it is certainly a testament to the intellectual curiosity and passion that makes the Bryn Mawr student body so unique. . . .
As one of the student coordinators and attendees of the “Coffee Hour with Judith Butler” and “Conversations with Judith Butler” dinner events, I was fortunate enough to witness the humorous and down-to-earth sides of the scholar we mostly associate with lofty theory and sharp intellect. . . . In fact, she told me that remaining engaged with feminist theory will help fuel my activism and advocacy work; she sees academia and activism as collaborative and co-supportive.

Indeed, Judith Butler is a “superstar” in academia. Her books sell thousands of copies every year because they are assigned reading in Women’s Studies classes across the country.

Butler is part of what we may call the Feminist-Industrial Complex, a campus-based intellectual machinery that indoctrinates elite students in these ideas. Every important university in America endorses feminism and “queer theory.” These are part of the de facto official belief system of academia. Anyone on campus who dared speak against such ideas (no one does) would be condemned for hate.

Do you understand why Sara Alcid considers criticism of SlutWalk “disgusting”? She was indoctrinated to believe that being a “Queer Feminist” is a heroic calling, in an environment where the presence of Judith Butler on campus caused “extended excitement.”

And now Sarah Alcid works for a 501(c)3 pro-abortion group, the Reproductive Health Technologies Project:

Sara Alcid – Programs and Policy Associate
Sara is responsible for assisting with RHTP’s reproductive health program areas, including health and wellness and contraception and abortion technologies.
Sara graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Gender and Sexuality Studies. During college, she founded and led a chapter of the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance and interned at Women’s Medical Fund, NARAL Pro-Choice New York and Cancer Schmancer, Inc. Americans for UNFPA named Sara a finalist for the Student Award for the Health and Dignity of Women in 2011. She is also a guest writer for Everyday Feminism and the State Department’s Women in Public Service Project.

Here is Sara Alcid advocating for the cause:

Full implementation of ACA [the Affordable Care Act, i.e., “ObamaCare”] contraception benefits and affordable access to abortion are LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] issues.

Uh, how so, Sara Alcid? One might think that such people have no need for contraception and abortion benefits. But you see, it is vital to the LGBT agenda not merely to advance their own issues, but to do everything possible to subvert any possible opposition.

Every abortion is celebrated as a radical victory by “Queer Feminist” Sara Alcid: Kill more babies, because feminism.

UPDATE: See? Quoting feminists = HATE!

What you discover is that radicals have two discourses: The exoteric discourse, used when speaking to outsiders, is about “choice,” “equality,” “health,” etc. The esoteric discourse, used among fellow radicals, is an entirely different vocabulary: “Smash patriarchy,” destroy “heteronormativity and gender roles” and “systems of domination.”

And when you pull back the exoteric mask to reveal the esoteric truth of radicalism . . . well, that’s intimidation, you haters!

Sara Alcid’s parents spent more than $40,000 a year to have her trained as a “Queer Feminist.” Guess they got their money’s worth.

  2. Oh my god. If you sincerely believe this, you have no chance in the outside world. Or do you expect no one to ever disagree with you.

  3. Libel? Quoting people is libelous? Hahahaha. Honey, you really should take a step back to see what a fool you are making of yourself.

  4. So in addition to not knowing the definition of “harassment”, you don’t know what “libel” means, either. You know what they say about “holes” and “digging”, I hope?

  5. Ah yes, my navel-grazing classes. It’s not like the FCPS makes sure all students take a class on government or anything. And I’m sorry to disappoint, but I choose to defend people when they’re being bullied. I’m not going to walk away.

  8. No one is being bullied. Someone is being criticized. You are deliberately misusing the word, as you well know. If you want to disagree with McCain, have at it, but please do so honestly.

  9. Protip: just because it’s called something doesn’t mean it’s actually taught. Apparently Fairfax County now teaches self-esteem in “Civics” if you didn’t even know what the First Amendment says…not to mention teaching the English language in English…

    And I suggest another word for you look up: “bullying”. Because that word doesn’t actually mean what you think it means, either.

  11. LOL the academic uses a logical fallacy HA! I’m going to suggest you get a refund for your “eduction”

    FYI I am very familar with the word “Heteronormativity” my opinion stands

  13. “Sara Alcid wants to smash your family, smash your faith, smash your community. This is what she means in denouncing “heteronormativity and gender roles” and “systems of domination.”

  16. Quoting lefties is, in their view, both libelous and dishonest. That’s because lefties so often and easily, they think everyone does.

    Besides, they hate Truth.

  18. If you took any classes on “government”, you either slept through them, or you studied some form of non-democratic government. Because you don’t understand the difference between free speech, libel, and propaganda.

  20. “Smashing patriarchy is, like, about metaphorically smashing the heteronormative oppression of white heteronormative cis patriarchy which manifests in society as documented by leading queer feminist transgender scholars.”

    Why yes, I attended Berkely. That’s how I know these people are cray cray. I had a front-row seat.

  21. I’m not whining about valid criticism you are embarrassing your yourself with your hysteria. If you want to be treated as an adult act like one.

  25. Sure did! 😉

    The trick is to pay attention to which keywords are fashionable and pepper your phrases with them. It’s a little sad how this passes for “critical thought” in “academia”.

  28. Ack! How could I have forgotten that? I deliberately left out “military-industrial complex” though…that phrase seems to have been adopted by a completely different set of whackjob.

  29. Good, I’m glad. Really. It should be for a young kid, if at all possible.

    Ms. Hay, just think about this: if it’s OK for women to do a slut walk, call men rapists, and accuse anyone who disagrees with some of the things they say and how they say it of being pro-rape, is the rhetoric in this piece any different? If you believe so, is it because it is written by a man? If that is the case, isn’t that a sexist attitude to have?

  32. I suggest learning the legally accepted definition of libel first. What the lawyers use, not what your activist feminist professors told what they think it should mean.

    The Real World, it will bite.

  36. For Coline, that would require Immaculate Conception, and something tells me she is eminently unqualified for that to happen.

  39. I think current students are being taught all the logical fallacies, but the problem is that they’re taught these are debating tactics…similar to how they’re taught “A Modest Proposal” and “1984” are instruction manuals.

  40. The left embraces licentiousness as the pathway to societal collapse. Immorality rules and truth is situational. Just as in Rome we will fall and be but a memory before another decade passes.
    The America haters have the upper hand in our degraded and degenarte society and the corrupt government is hastening our republic headlong into chaos and anarchy. At no time since the dark days in the beginning of our revolution against England has America been in such peril … at the hands of her own (nominative) citizens.
    Satan and his legions are loose in the Beloved City, rise up and smite the America haters, destroy her enemies both without and within. The time to rise is now — #OUTLAWS!

  42. It is absurd because statistically speaking, “hetero” IS normal and “homo” is abnormal. You have taken a basic statistics class, right? anything that affects only 3% of the population is definitionally not “normal”

  43. I believe that, with over 20 years of experience in the trade, RSM has a better understanding of what constitutes libel than some snot-nose fresh out of college.

  44. It’s amazing how thin-skinned some of the commentators are about Stacy’s relatively mild, highly analytic analysis. The Communist lesbians and their fellow travelers seem to have no conception of how truly nuts they appear to virtually everyone else. What portion of women in cities where “Slut Walks” are held participate? Maybe 1 in 10,000?

    I’m sure that at least 95% of Americans, upon being informed about the utopian vision embraced by the Feminist-Industrial Complex, would conclude that the people actively working to bring about this utopia have lost their grip on reality. For centuries the majority has made fun of all sorts of people advocating totally silly utopian agendas. Do the radical feminists feel they should be somehow immune from similar treatment?

    If Sarah Alcid and her fellow travelers decide to buckle down and actually argue their substantive views to people not already persuaded of them, that’s something I could respect — but so far all I see is name-calling and ad hominen attacks on Stacy and others who are defending what is obviously the overwhelming consensus position in America today. Apparently part of the victim ideology at work here is the concept that whenever anyone expresses any disagreement with the ideology it victimizes those embracing the ideology.
