Occidental Professor @LisaWade: Heterosexual Men Are Predators
Posted on | September 5, 2016 | 2 Comments
“Heterosexuality in the U.S. is gendered: women are expected to attract, men are supposed to be attracted. Men want, women want to be wanted. Metaphorically, this is a predator/prey type relationship. . . . Accordingly, women know what it feels like to be prey.”
— Professor Lisa Wade, 2014
No one has ever accused Professor Lisa Wade of being heterosexual. It’s difficult to imagine why anyone would even suspect her of such a thing, since her entire career has been built on anti-male hatred.
Professor Wade was among the faculty at Occidental College (annual tuition $49,278) who claimed the college administration was engaged in a conspiracy to cover up the prevalence of rape on campus. After complaints about a delay in reporting a sexual assault accusation, the college president, Jonathan Veitch, issued a statement in which he wrote: “In the first few hours, days or even weeks, it is not always clear what has happened in incidents like these. Investigators need time to sort through conflicting accounts in order to provide a clear narrative of what took place.” Professor Wade accused President Veitch of “reproducing a bias against sexual assault victims that feminists have been trying to eradicate for decades.” In other words, Occidental’s president is anti-woman and pro-rape — but he’s a man, of course, and Professor Wade believes all men are rapists, which is what she means by condemning heterosexuality as “a predator/prey type relationship.” If you believe Professor Wade and her feminist faculty colleagues like Professor Caroline Heldman, the only reason boys go to Occidental is to rape the girls who go to Occidental.
Becoming notorious as the Rape Capital of America™ might not be the kind of publicity Occidental College wants. When you’re asking parents to fork over $49,278 a year to send their kids to your prestigious elite private liberal arts school, it’s probably not good for recruitment to have professors claiming rape is the most popular sport on campus. Occidental’s crappy Division III football team went 5-4 last year, losing to such obscure opponents as Claremont-Mudd-Scripps and University of La Verne, but when it comes to rape, Occidental is the undisputed national champion, according to Professor Wade and her fellow feminists.
$100,527,120
That number is what you get when you multiply $49,278 (annual tuition at Occidental) by 2,040, the college’s reported enrollment. A college with annual revenue of more than $100 million (and an endowment of more than $400 million) is an inviting target for political racketeers trying to run a shakedown operation: “Nice reputation you got there, Occidental. Sure would be a shame if something bad happened to it.”
The feminist faculty helped stir up a climate of fear on campus with a group called Oxy Sexual Assault Coalition, and pretty soon there were more than 50 Title IX complaints against Occidental, with big-money lawyer Gloria Allred holding a press conference to announce a lawsuit. Naturally, the college paid up rather than risk a trial:
Occidental College has quietly reached a monetary settlement with at least 10 current and former students who have alleged that the Eagle Rock liberal arts school repeatedly mishandled sexual assault accusations, according to three sources with knowledge of the agreement.
During confidential settlement talks last week, senior Occidental officials agreed to pay the women an undisclosed sum to avoid a lawsuit.
Under the terms of the pact, they are barred from discussing publicly the college’s handling of their cases and participating in the Occidental Sexual Assault Coalition, a campus advocacy group of students and faculty that over the last year has been battling fiercely with the college administration over its handling of sex assault allegations.
Ah, but once you start paying the Dane-geld, you never get rid of the Dane, and the more college administrators try to satisfy campus feminist demands, the more demanding campus feminists become. One wonders if Occidental College’s president knows what is being taught in the school’s Gender, Women, & Sexuality Studies program. Does he not realize that Professor Wade, for example, is against marriage?
I’m not married because the history of marriage is ugly and anti-woman . . .
I’m not married because I don’t want to support a discriminatory institution that has and continues to bless some relationships, but not others, out of bigotry. . . .
I don’t believe that a state- or church-endorsed heterosexual union between two and only two people is superior to other kinds of relationships.
Unlike Professor Wade, Occidental’s president does support the “anti-woman . . . discriminatory institution.” Jonathan Veitch and his wife have three children from their state-endorsed heterosexual union.
Professor Wade is co-author of a 2014 textbook, Gender: Ideas, Interactions, Institutions, a 400-page elaboration of the postmodern theory that there are no such things as men and women, only the gender binary, which is socially constructed by the heterosexual matrix. Feminists generally believe there is no such thing as “human nature.” According to feminist gender theory, human beings are the only mammals on the planet without any kind of instinct that might be involved in the reproduction of the species. The traits we call “masculinity” and “femininity” are an illusion, according to feminists. The “performance of phallic power” is “the essence of hegemonic masculinity,” as Professor Carol Harrington (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand) has explained, and “widespread heterosexuality among women is a highly artificial product of the patriarchy,” as Professor Marilyn Frye said, because “most women have to be coerced into heterosexuality.”
You might not be surprised to learn that Professor Wade considers beauty standards to be a manifestation of patriarchal oppression:
The sexualization of girls and the infantilization of adult women are two sides of the same coin. They both tell us that we should find youth, inexperience, and naivete sexy in women, but not in men. This reinforces a power and status difference between men and women, where vulnerability, weakness, and dependency and their opposites are gendered traits: desirable in one sex but not the other. . . .
What does it mean that feminine beauty is conflated with youthfulness, but masculine beauty is not — that we want women to be both cute and sexual? It means that we feel comfortable with women who seem helpless and require taking care of, perhaps we even encourage or demand these traits from women. . . .
It’s about infantilizing adult women . . . as a way to remind women of their prescribed social position relative to men.
There is nothing natural about male admiration of “feminine beauty,” according to Professor Wade. Feminists do not believe any hard-wired animal instincts are involved in men’s preferences. Instead, all human sexual behavior is interpreted as an expression of “power and status” under the regime of patriarchy. This is the only explanation for why men prefer supermodel Kate Upton to feminist Jaclyn Friedman.

“A steady diet of exploitative, sexually provocative depictions of women feeds a poisonous trend in women’s and girl’s perceptions of their bodies, one that has recently been recognized by social scientists as self-objectification — viewing one’s body as a sex object to be consumed by the male gaze. . . . Perhaps the most striking outcome of self-objectification is the difficulty women have in imagining identities and sexualities truly our own.”
— Professor Caroline Heldman, 2008
You see that any depiction of women that men actually enjoy looking at is “exploitative,” because women are objectified by “the male gaze,” according to Occidental College Professor Caroline Heldman who, not coincidentally, co-founded the groups Oxy Sexual Assault Coalition, End Rape on Campus (EROC) and Faculty Against Rape (FAR), and is “a visible figure in the campus anti-rape movement.” Feminism’s “rape culture” discourse is a form of anti-male hate propaganda. By demonizing college boys as rapists, feminists like Professor Heldman and Professor Wade teach college girls to hate and fear their male classmates. Likewise, Professor Heldman and Professor Wade portray normal male behavior as pathological. Their students at Occidental are being taught that it is wrong for men to admire beauty, that it is predatory for men to be attracted to women, that marriage is “anti-woman,” and that heterosexuality is inherently harmful to women. If a man even looks at a woman, she is victimized by his “sexually objectifying, predatory, always potentially threatening gaze,” according to Professor Wade:
I study sex on campus, where sexual violence is perpetrated disproportionately by “high-status” men — fraternity men and certain male athletes in particular. These men are more likely than other men to endorse the sexual double standard, believing that they are justified in praising sexually active men, while condemning and even abusing women who are less sexually active.
They are also more likely to promote homophobia, hypermasculinity and male dominance; tolerate violent and sexist jokes; endorse misogynistic attitudes and behaviors; and endorse false beliefs about rape. Accordingly, athletes are responsible for an outsized number of sexual assaults on campus, and women who attend fraternity parties are significantly more likely to be assaulted than those who attend other parties with alcohol and those who don’t go to parties at all.
It is “high status” that makes college boys rapists, according to Professor Wade. Therefore, it might be argued, colleges should deprive males of status — ending athletic programs for men and abolishing fraternities, for example — if they are really serious about preventing rape. Or perhaps Professor Wade means that Occidental College President Jonathan Veitch is also a rapist. Being president of the college is a rather “high-status” position on campus, after all, and you can’t be too careful, especially considering President Veitch’s known history of heterosexuality.
Professor Wade’s next book, to be published in January, is entitled American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus, and in an article for the Guardian, she previews her attack on the usual suspects:
Hookup culture prevails, even though it serves only a minority of students, because cultures don’t reflect what is, but a specific group’s vision of what should be. The students who are most likely to qualify as enthusiasts are also more likely than other kinds of students to be affluent, able-bodied, white, conventionally attractive, heterosexual and male. . . .
Hookup culture, then, isn’t what the majority of students want, it’s the privileging of the sexual lifestyle most strongly endorsed by those with the most power on campus, the same people we see privileged in every other part of American life. These students, as one Latina observed, “exude dominance”. On the quad, they’re boisterous and engage in loud greetings. They sunbathe and play catch on the green at the first sign of spring. At games, they paint their faces and sing fight songs. They use the campus as their playground. Their bodies — most often slim, athletic and well-dressed — convey an assured calm; they move among their peers with confidence and authority.
So, according to Professor Wade, it is rich, good-looking, heterosexual white males whose “privilege” is expressed in “hookup culture.” Probably there are some of those guys at Occidental College, where their parents pay $49,278 a year so they can “use the campus as their playground.”
It’s wrong for girls to hook up with “slim, athletic and well-dressed” rich boys at an elite private college, according to Professor Wade. Why are “affluent, able-bodied, white, conventionally attractive, heterosexual and male” students even allowed to attend Occidental College? Everybody on the Occidental faculty hates white male heterosexuals, and yet these rich boys keep showing up on campus with their boisterous loud greetings, their “assured calm . . . confidence and authority,” etc. Gosh, why does this sound strangely familiar?
Good grades, good home
gets college student profiled
as rapist, claims lawsuit
Being a valedictorian from a “good family” helped get a California student blamed for an alleged rape by a bizarre, college tribunal that critics claim is part of an overzealous culture of blaming men for hookups that go awry, according to a lawsuit.
A former Occidental College student known only as “John Doe” has sued the Los Angeles school after it found him “responsible” for an alleged Sept. 8, 2013, rape local police could not substantiate ever happened. The student was expelled after the liberal arts school’s investigation, despite offering strong text message evidence that the encounter with another first-year Occidental student was consensual. . . .
The suit, which claims John Doe’s due process rights were violated, charges that a faculty member and anti-rape activist coaxed the alleged victim into making baseless accusations.
“[John Doe] fits the profile of other rapists on campus in that he had a high GPA in high school, was his class valedictorian, was on [a sports] team, and was from a good family,” the suit quotes Occidental Sociology Prof. Danielle Dirks, who co-founded the school’s Sexual Assault Coalition, telling the woman, who was initially reluctant to accuse the man of rape.
If a boy is a valedictorian and an athlete, he’s a rapist, according to feminist professors at Occidental College. Parents definitely should not pay $49,278 a year to send their sons to Occidental College, which pays these professors to encourage girls to accuse their sons of rape:
John Doe’s Title IX complaint, alleging gender discrimination against himself as a male, argues that the female complainant (Jane Doe) was counselled by Professor Danielle Dirks and Movindri Reddy to convince her that she had indeed been raped, despite her initial protestations that her consensual sex ‘didn’t feel like rape.’ . . .
Jane Doe spent many hours with Professor Reddy. According to her testimony: “She said that Professor Reddy put her in touch with Professor Danielle Dirks. On Tuesday night, Jane Doe said, she met with Professor Dirks for three hours, and told her the entire story…. During this period, Jane Doe stated, she went to see Professor Reddy every day to talk about what had happened, and how she was dealing with it.”
Professor Reddy went on to become Jane Doe’s advocate/advisor through the internal Occidental hearing process. . . .
In Professor Dirk’s testimony, in her discussions with Ms. Doe, she repeatedly profiled John Doe as a rapist. . . .
Dirks stated that she believed that Jane Doe was experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Dirks stated that Jane Doe appeared to be “in a strong state of denial” about the events, and told her at one point that she was not yet able to call the incident “rape….” Dirks noted that Jane Doe’s reluctance to call what had happened to her “rape” was consistent with other victims of sexual assault whom Dirks has talked to on campus.
Doesn’t it sound like John Doe was the victim of a conspiracy? What actually happened was that John Doe was drunk in his room when Jane Doe, who was also drunk, texted him she wanted to come have sex with him, then showed up and, among other things, performed oral sex him. Unlike so many other cases like it, John Doe v. Occidental is not even a “he-said/she-said” story — there is no dispute about the basic facts, and nothing about these facts can be construed as rape. Both students were freshmen, both were equally drunk, and she was the one who initiated their sexual encounter. Yet on a campus where hatred of males is encouraged by feminist professors who denounce heterosexuality as “a predator/prey type relationship,” facts don’t matter.
Polls Show Hillary Slipping: Is It Because Black People Don’t Like Her Very Much?
Posted on | September 5, 2016 | Comments Off on Polls Show Hillary Slipping: Is It Because Black People Don’t Like Her Very Much?
In recent days, Hillary Clinton’s poll lead over Donald Trump has begun shrinking again. In two recent polls — by Investors Business Daily and Reuters — Hillary led by just one point, and in the latest L.A. Times poll, Trump is actually leading by 2 points, 45%-43%. The trend in the Real Clear Polls average of national polls is clear — Hillary’s lead, which was nearly 8 points just three weeks ago, has now been cut in half.
The Clinton campaign’s “run-out-the-clock” strategy, which was based on confidence in Hillary’s frontrunner status, has become a subject of increasing criticism. Part of the problem, it turns out, is that young black voters aren’t really excited about a 68-year-old white woman:
When a handful of liberal advocacy organizations convened a series of focus groups with young black voters last month, the assessments of Donald J. Trump were predictably unsparing.
But when the participants were asked about Hillary Clinton, their appraisals were just as blunt and nearly as biting.
“What am I supposed to do if I don’t like him and I don’t trust her?” a millennial black woman in Ohio asked. “Choose between being stabbed and being shot? No way!”
“She was part of the whole problem that started sending blacks to jail,” a young black man, also from Ohio, observed about Mrs. Clinton.
“He’s a racist, and she is a liar, so really what’s the difference in choosing both or choosing neither?” another young black woman from Ohio said.
Young African-Americans, like all voters their age, are typically far harder to drive to the polls than middle-aged and older Americans. Yet with just over two months until Election Day, many Democrats are expressing alarm at the lack of enthusiasm, and in some cases outright resistance, some black millennials feel toward Mrs. Clinton.
Their skepticism is rooted in a deep discomfort with the political establishment that they believe the 68-year-old former first lady and secretary of state represents.
(Via Memeorandum.) This “discomfort with the political establishment” is a bipartisan phenomenon, transcending the check-the-box categories that dominate the thinking of pundits, strategists and consultants.
Donald Trump got a standing ovation at a black church in Detroit last week, and what was his message to Detroit?
“Our nation is too divided. We talk past each other, not to each other and those who seek office do not do enough to step into the community and learn what is going on,” Trump told the church-goers from the podium, where he briefly spoke about why he was there. “They don’t know. They have no clue. I’m here today to learn. So that we can together remedy injustice, in any form. And so that we can also remedy economics so that the African-American community can benefit economically through jobs and income and so many other different ways.”
The Democrats are running the same playbook they have been running for years — call Republicans “racist” and rely on this smear to win 95% of the black vote — as if black people are too stupid to see through this tactic. What does it matter whether or not Donald Trump is “racist” if Democrat policies do not actually improve the lives of black citizens?
Look at what Democrats have done to Detroit: The city is bankrupt, and Detroit’s population, which was 1.4 million in 1970, has declined to less than 700,000. The claim that electing Democrats is good for black people because Republicans are “racist” never really made sense, but how can anyone look at the situation in Detroit and believe that voting for Hillary Clinton is vital to the interests of black Americans? Detroit is the most dangerous city in America; 38% of the population lives below the poverty line and the violent crime rate is 2,072 per 100,000.
These are simply facts. Is it “racist” to mention the facts? How long can Democrats expect to keep winning elections by ignoring the facts, pointing the finger of blame at Republicans and yelling “racist”?

Only Talk to White People”

Herpes-Infected Feminist Ella Dawson Decides the 2016 Election Is About Her
Posted on | September 4, 2016 | 2 Comments
“I’m disgusting. Maybe they were all right about me. Maybe I am a big old whore.”
— Ella Dawson
You remember Ella Dawson (@brosandprose on Twitter) as the girl who attended Wesleyan University (annual tuition $47,972) where she graduated in 2014 with a bachelor of arts in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and a herpes infection. It seems nobody at her prestigious private university bothered to tell Ms. Dawson that condoms don’t prevent herpes, so she kept screwing around until . . .
“I was the editor of my campus sex magazine. I had some one-night stands. I explored my sexuality and what I wanted, and I met a guy at a party and he was amazing. He was super-charismatic and sexy and funny and brilliant and I fell really hard for him. We started seeing each other and then, three weeks later, I woke up with an outbreak of genital herpes.”
— Ella Dawson, September 2015
“A few days shy of my 21st birthday, I woke up to find a cluster of painful red sores on my labia. . . . This didn’t make sense, as I’d never had unprotected sex in my life. Plus, I wasn’t the sort of person STDs happened to. I was a Planned Parenthood volunteer, a sexuality studies major, and everyone’s go-to friend when they had questions about losing their virginity. How could I have caught something when I had always been so careful?”
— Ella Dawson, April 14, 2015
Ms. Dawson did what any Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies major would do: She made her name synonymous with herpes.
A Google search for “Ella Dawson herpes” produces more than 50,000 results. Why would parents pay nearly $50,000 a year for their daughter to attend college when the result of her “education” is that she becomes notorious for having an incurable sexually transmitted virus?
Well, never mind why liberals throw away their money to “educate” their daughters. Let’s talk about the 2016 election, where if Hillary Clinton becomes president, liberals get to throw away our money, too.
Ella Dawson has written a genuinely weird article about the “Alt Right,” in which she deduces that because (a) certain people hate Hillary Clinton and (b) some of these people also made fun of her pro-herpes activism, therefore (c) a vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for herpes.
Or something. It doesn’t make much sense, really, but here — we’ll let the Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies major explain herself:
I expected a backlash when I began writing a blog about what it’s like to live with genital herpes. Speaking from personal experience about a taboo topic like sexually transmitted infections was never going to be easy, and I prepared myself to face judgment from strangers online. Social mores about sex may be changing, but women who frankly discuss their sexuality?–?and their feminism?–?meet pushback from an online culture of outrage and shame. What I could not have anticipated in my wildest nightmare was becoming a favorite target of the Alt-Right.
It is difficult to explain the loose web of sexist trolls and “conservative provocateurs” that compose the Alt-Right to someone who isn’t immersed in Internet culture. There are the anti-establishment radicals who hate Paul Ryan, the anti-Islam YouTube vloggers who pushed hard for Brexit, and the Twitter users who create memes like #TheTriggering to mock social justice activists. The Alt-Right also overlaps with groups like Men’s Rights Activists, who are convinced matriarchy is oppressing them on a global scale, and the bizarre online hate mob that is GamerGate. Conversations about these men?–?because they are almost always men, and they are almost always white?—?are usually dismissive. We call them “trolls,” implying they’re the dimwitted underworld denizens of the Internet. As long as they stay in unread comment sections, what risk do they pose to the rest of us? . . .
You can read the whole thing and try to make sense of her “argument,” but unless you have a degree in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, you’ll probably just laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Her main point, as far as I can tell, could be summarized succinctly:
VOTE FOR HILLARY
So Your Daughter Can Get Herpes, Too!
I’m always happy to help feminists spread their message . . .

Irony Much? Tranny @SmartAssJen Says Movies Lack ‘Extraordinary’ Women
Posted on | September 3, 2016 | Comments Off on Irony Much? Tranny @SmartAssJen Says Movies Lack ‘Extraordinary’ Women
You have to wonder what psychological defect would inspire transgender activist Jen Richards to send out a tweet suggesting that “extraordinary” men are rare, while “extraordinary” women are everywhere. Given that Richards is not actually female, how does this appear — that is, to people who aren’t as reflexively anti-male as Richards, like the nearly 3,000 feminists who retweeted that particular message of hatred?
Whatever the motive for the original message, the fact that it got so many retweets (and nearly 5,000 “likes”) demonstrates the extent to which feminism is simply an expression of contempt for men. Every feminist, of course, consider herself to be “extraordinary,” and despises all men as her intellectual and moral inferiors. This is why feminism is not (and never has been) a movement about equality, because the leaders of the movement are so full of self-righteous arrogance that their agenda is an endless litany of totalitarian demands. Feminists wish to dictate the terms of an “equality” in which men have no rights whatsoever, except perhaps the right to remain silent. Feminism is always a lecture and never a debate, because the feminist considers males to be so vastly inferior to herself that she never wants to hear anything a man has to say.
The assertion that “extraordinary” women are absent from movies is simply false, a propaganda claim that is nevertheless promoted by feminists as part of their campaign to extort money from Hollywood. Women in the industry — actresses, writers, directors, etc. — want a bigger piece of the pie, and specious complaints about “sexism” in Hollywood are just a politically correct way of saying, “More for me!”
Capitulating to such mau-mau tactics is what leads to box-office blunders like the feminist Ghostbusters remake, which is projected to lose $70 million for Sony. Although studio executives keep giving anonymous quotes insisting the total loss will be less than projected, the film’s financial failure is indisputable. Despite all the media hype generated by Sony’s massive publicity blitz, Ghostbusters dropped out of the box-office top 10 within a month of its release, and in the past three weeks, generated only $4.7 million, a pathetic average of less than $2,000 per theater, and by last week, Ghostbusters was showing in fewer than 500 theaters nationwide. Nor will foreign sales suffice to make this feminist flop break even. Ghostbusters has grossed less than $15 million in Great Britain, less than $10 million in Australia and $9 million in Japan.
Unlike feminists — who can’t stand to see men succeed in anything — most people actually like watching movies with male heroes. The action thriller Jason Bourne opened #1 at the box office and is still in the top 10 after five weeks. The production budget for this Matt Damon film ($120 million) was actually less than the $144 million budget for the feminist Ghostbusters remake. In further contrast, Jason Bourne has actually made more in overseas markets (nearly $200 million in five weeks) than in the United States. Yes, believe it or not, there is a worldwide demand for movies with heterosexual white male American heroes.
Only in America — where academia and the news media are controlled by progressives who promote a left-wing ideological stew of white guilt, feminism, LGBT activism and other politically correct nonsense — does anyone believe that there’s something wrong with audiences cheering for Matt Damon as he battles shadowy forces of evil.
Speaking of shadowy forces of evil, what does it say about feminism that the movement accepts in its ranks men who pretend to be women, so long as these faux-females gleefully denounce men who are actually men? Doesn’t this expose the hideous intensity of feminism’s anti-male hatred? See if you notice a pattern in these messages.
Go ahead, feminists, and promote the hateful man-bashing messages of Jen Richards. Obviously, “she” is as much a woman as you are.
