“I am able to embrace my herpes positive status. . . .
“I have no shame in who I am. . . .
“I have sex, great sex. I write about sex. I talk openly about sex.”
— Emily Depasse, April 18, 2016
Readers will remember Emily Depasse as the feminist who bragged about teaching sex to 12-year-olds in Baltimore during the #ShoutYourStatus campaign to “destigmatize” sexually transmitted diseases.


Beyond the insanity of celebrating herpes — which “actually made my sex life healthier & more satisfying than before,” Ms. Depasse boasted — her participation in this online publicity campaign called attention to how schools are promoting the feminist agenda to children whose parents likely have no idea what is being taught in classrooms. Would you want Emily Depasse talking to your seventh-grader? Speaking as the father of six children (the oldest of whom is a teacher, and the youngest now a seventh-grader), I am certain that I would not want a mentally ill pervert like Emily Depasse anywhere near my children. Why would a private academy hire such a person as the “Sex Lady” to instruct children? And if the children of the wealthy elite are being indoctrinated by radical feminists at a prestigious school where tuition is more than $25,000 a year, isn’t it likely such beliefs will become increasingly influential?

Concern for the well-being of young people, a desire to protect them against harmful influences, is every parent’s natural instinct. However, feminists are hostile to parenthood. Emily DePasse has written on her blog, “At this point in my life, I do not foresee myself having children, nor do I really want them,” and describes herself as “self-admittedly too selfish to have children.” Consumed by this attitude of narcissistic arrogance, feminists are unable to comprehend why parents oppose the shameless immorality that has defined feminism’s agenda for decades.
Dana Mack’s 1997 book The Assault on Parenthood: How Our Culture Undermines the Family detailed how this hostility toward parents had become commonplace in the public education establishment and other institutions. Government schools not only indoctrinate children in atheism, but they also deliberately subvert parental authority and promote radical ideas about “gender” and “sexuality” to children.
This belief system has become so pervasive within the educational establishment that now we see it being embraced by allegedly Christian schools, including Augsburg College, a former Lutheran seminary, and at Catholic institutions like the University of Notre Dame.
It seems that many who call themselves “Christian” educators have forgotten how Professor Mary Daly celebrated the feminist movement “not only as Antichrist but also as Antichurch,” as a “rising woman-consciousness” to destroy the “Christocentric cosmos.” More than four decades later, we see the consequences of abandoning the Bible, as feminist gender theory — the social construction of the gender binary within the heterosexual matrix — becomes the basis of understanding human sexuality. Forsaking their moral duty by embracing this satanic agenda, many allegedly Christian educators now teach the same evil ideas that are destroying the souls of children in public schools.
Emily Depasse’s parents sent her to Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, a prestigious Catholic prep school where tuition is $19,550 a year. Despite this, DePasse explained on her blog how “when I first made the decision to have sex” during her sophomore year, “I wrote my mom a letter explaining that I needed to get on birth control.”
Am I the only one who hears an alarm bell ringing here?
What kind of “Catholic” education are parents paying $19,550 a year for Our Lady of Good Counsel High School to provide, if sophomore girls at this school behave so directly opposite to Catholic doctrine? If you are a parent and your 15-year-old daughter informs you she has “made the decision to have sex,” wouldn’t you go to the courthouse and take out a restraining order to keep your daughter’s boyfriend away from her? Let us stipulate that teenagers are prone to sexual misadventures, no matter how adults attempt to prevent it. However, do we expect the mothers of Catholic schoolgirls to endorse this activity and to enable such behavior by providing their minor daughters with contraceptives? Are we now so far down the slippery slope into decadence and depravity that parents must become accomplices to the corruption of their own children?
Where I come from, the boy in such a situation would consider himself fortunate if the police got hold of him before her father did. There are probably still many fathers in America who wouldn’t mind doing a year or two in jail for aggravated assault after whupping the daylights out of any boy they caught messing around with their daughters. Parental authority in such matters was once recognized as socially beneficial, and if teenagers still ran wild, no grown-up was required to tolerate their shenanigans.
There used to be something called romance in this world, and making teenage boys fear the wrath of a girl’s parents was part of it. Really, wasn’t this the great drama of Romeo and Juliet? What was all that swordplay between the Capulets and Montagues about? Family honor, which is also the theme of The Godfather. Remember how Sonny pounded on Carlo for his abusive treatment of Connie? And remember how, after Carlo betrayed Sonny to the Barzinis, Michael confronted Carlo?
“Barzini is dead. So is Phillip Tattaglia. Moe Greene. Stracci. Cuneo. Today I settled all family business, so don’t tell me that you’re innocent.”
Old-fashioned ideas about family honor once informed our culture, because it was understood that love should lead to marriage, and that “sexuality” should be about man and wife uniting in love, forming families with children of their own. This is simply human nature, but radical feminism is a War Against Human Nature. Feminists despise marriage, feminists hate babies, feminists seek to destroy the family and, in the course of this destructive pursuit, feminists destroy the basis of love.
“Certainly all those institutions which were designed on the assumption and for the reinforcement of the male and female role system such as the family (and its sub-institution, marriage), sex, and love must be destroyed.”
— The Feminists, 1969
“The first condition for escaping from forced motherhood and sexual slavery is escape from the patriarchal institution of marriage.”
— Alison M. Jaggar, 1988
“I don’t particularly like babies. They are loud and smelly and, above all other things, demanding . . . time-sucking monsters with their constant neediness. . . . Nothing will make me want a baby. . . . This is why, if my birth control fails, I am totally having an abortion.”
— Amanda Marcotte, 2014
Those feminist quotes, among others, were included in my description of how Emily Depasses’s pro-herpes agenda has become “What Feminists Want to Teach Your Kids.” Readers who have followed the Sex Trouble series know how many quotes like that I can stack up. Pete Da Tech Guy rightly invokes a famous quote from the movie Patton: “Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!” After more than two years of research, I am thoroughly familiar with their ideology and rhetoric. Feminism Is a Totalitarian Movement to Destroy Civilization as We Know It, and it is important to expose the deceptive propaganda methods of their movement. Do not doubt that Emily Depasse knows what feminist theory actually is. She majored in Gender and Sexuality Studies at Maryland’s Salisbury State University, where her classes included “LGBTQ History,” “Philosophy & Feminism,” “Human Sexuality Education,” “Sociology of Gender,” and “Psychology of Sexuality.”
Emily Depasse therefore cannot pretend that her promotion of deviant behavior and her celebration of herpes are unrelated to the feminist agenda of destroying Judeo-Christian morality and the marriage-based family. She knows exactly what she is doing, and why she is doing it.
So how do you suppose Emily Depasse reacted to my examination of her career as the self-proclaimed “Carrie Bradshaw of herpes”? Of course, she claimed to be the victim of “harassment” by “right-wing trolls,” but she did not name me, she did not link me and she did not acknowledge any substantial point of my argument. Nowhere in her self-pitying account of her “harassment” does Emily Depasse acknowledge how her feminist ideology — and her expression of that ideology through her own degenerate behavior — resulted in her becoming infected with an incurable virus. She disavows personal responsibility:
“I never asked for herpes. I never consented to it. It originated from someone I knew well, someone whom I trusted.”
Exactly how did that herpes get into her genitals? The “Sex Lady” acts as if this is profoundly mysterious. There was someone she “knew well” and “trusted,” and this infection in her vagina just “originated,” you see. It was an unfortunate circumstance in which she played no active role.
Feminists talk a lot about “empowerment,” but on closer examination this word seems to be a claim to absolute irresponsibility. The feminist is “empowered” to do or say anything she wants and absolve herself of responsibility for the consequences by blaming the patriarchy. It was the patriarchy that put the herpes virus in Emily Depasse’s genitals, it is the patriarchy which explains why herpes is “stigmatized,” and when people mock feminists for declaring how awesome it is to be infected with herpes, that’s the patriarchy, too. To understand how this works, consider Ella Dawson, the leader of pro-herpes feminism.

“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
See? It’s not her fault. She just “explored her sexuality” and then this guy was “super-charismatic” and — oops! — herpes happened.
In December 2015, Ms. Dawson described how she had been “harassed” by Billy Procida, a member of “the sex-positive community” she dated once. Procida is host of “The Manwhore Podcast: A Sex-Positive Quest for Love where he chats with women he’s hooked up with about sex, dating, sexuality and gender,” and if he ever got near my daughter, he’d be in the hospital or the graveyard. The men in “the sex-positive community” are all despicable and/or dangerous (e.g., Hugo Schwyzer, the Psychotic Professor) and if Billy Procida is typical of the men feminists hang around with, you understand why feminists hate men. Ella Dawson explains:
Want to see a man’s true character? Tell him to shut the f–k up. . . .
Men very rarely see their behavior as harassment, they think they’re just talking. Being told to stop talking feels unnatural and unfair—it’s not like they were being mean. It was a compliment, or they had an opinion to contribute, or they wanted to make a friend. If that makes her uncomfortable, that’s her problem. She’s too sensitive. . . . I don’t understand why she’s telling me to stop talking to her, she’s making such a big deal out of nothing. She’s playing the victim card. I would never harass someone, I believe in gender equality! . . .
I’m tired of explaining to men who reply to every single tweet I make why their uninvited and sustained attention makes me uncomfortable. I’m tired of giving “nice guys” who won’t take a breakup for an answer the benefit of the doubt. I’m tired of victims who speak up being told that they are selfish, or immature, or holding a grudge. I’m tired of it being impossible for women to be heard over the dull roar of men who won’t stop talking. I’m tired of nothing ever changing.
You see? It’s OK for Ella Dawson to talk, talk, talk constantly about sex, sex, sex, but these men in “the sex-positive community” seem to have the crazy idea that feminists want to hear men talk about sex.
No, Mr. Procida, you’re wrong. Feminists don’t want to hear men talk about sex. Feminists never want to hear a man talk about anything (unless he is “super-charismatic and sexy and funny and brilliant,” of course). When feminists talk about “equality,” Mr. Procida, this doesn’t mean you have a right to talk to them, or even look at them. You’re objectifying her with the “male gaze,” the feminist believes, if you admire her without her permission, and if you don’t understand how these strange rules are about “equality,” it’s because you are a man. “Equality” means that feminists can just make up any damn rules they want, and change the rules to suit their passing moods, and they don’t owe you any explanation at all. You are a man, and the role of men in feminism is to “shut the f–k up.”
One almost pities Billy Procida and the other young men like him who think they can negotiate with totalitarians. Neville Chamberlain surrendered Sudetenland to Hitler and called it “peace for our time,” whereas young men surrender to feminists and call this “equality.”
This is why I say I can almost pity Billy Procida and his ilk. If feminists are responsible for their own herpes infections, then men are responsible for their failure to understand what feminism really is. “Feminism is a movement of crazy women, by crazy women, for crazy women.”
Feminists want men to shut up and go away, except when they want men to infect them with herpes. If a woman tells you she’s a feminist, guys, it’s probably safe to assume she already has herpes. Whether or not she is infected with herpes, however, all feminists are infected with crazy, and that kind of craziness is known to be highly contagious and incurable. Emily Depasse and Ella Dawson are a menace to society, spreading an epidemic of feminist insanity that is destroying our nation.
