Our Moral Superiors™
Posted on | January 10, 2016 | 29 Comments
Liberal intellectuals are convinced that the rest of us are so stupid we need them to tell us what to think. Their narcissism manifests itself as a contempt for the common sense of ordinary Americans, an attitude Thomas Sowell analyzed in The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy. What inspires the Left’s rage — the source of their constant accusations that ordinary Americans are racist, sexist homophobes — is simply that the Left expects the rest of us to accept their authority as Our Moral Superiors™ and they become angry when we refuse to do so. The children of privilege spend Daddy’s money to get an Ivy League diploma and how dare you fail to acknowledge their right to tell you how to live?
However, the intellectual class harbors so many lunatics, perverts and criminals that one suspects the faculty hiring process systematically excludes decent and honest people from academic employment. The psychotic Professor Hugo Schwyzer’s 2013 meltdown was just the tip of an iceberg of degenerate madness in academia. Walter Lee Williams, whose works include Overcoming Heterosexism and Homophobia, was “an eminent professor of gender and sexuality studies” at the University of Southern California before he pleaded guilty in federal court to traveling the world to pursue sex with boys as young as 9. Columbia University political science Professor David Epstein copped a plea bargain for having incest with his daughter. Rutgers University Professor Anna Stubblefield was convicted of sexually molesting a mentally disabled man. Lehigh University Professor Yujie Ding was convicted of federal fraud charges, and Florida State University Professor James Doran was convicted of embezzlement. One could make a long list of university faculty — Professor Alyssa Azotea (psychology, Simmons College), Professor Michael Dean Stroup (economics, Stephen F. Austin State University), Professor James Francis Quinn (criminology, University of North Texas), Professor Douglas Paul Dohrman (health science, Texas A&M University), Professor Christopher DeZutter (chemistry, University of Minnesota-Rochester), Professor Noel Campbell (business, University of Central Arkansas), Professor Kevin Sullivan (public health, Emory University), Professor Amol Kharabe (business, Ohio University), Professor J. Martin Favor (African American studies, Dartmouth College), to name just a few recent cases — arrested on child pornography charges. The FBI says self-described “boy lover” Professor James Cavalcoli used the Internet in his attempt to meet a minor for sex. And, of course, there was University of Georgia Professor Max Reinhart, who was charged with prostitution for peddling himself online as a transvestite named “Sasha.”
Meanwhile, the intellectuals have decided to mess with Texas:
Chanting, “Gun-free UT. Make it safe for you and me,” and, “Guns are not a teaching tool. They do not belong in school,” more than 200 attendees at the Modern Language Association’s annual meeting marched to the Texas Capitol Friday to protest the state’s new “campus carry” law.
The law, which will take effect this year, allows guns into public college classrooms and dormitories — much to the anger of many professors at Texas and elsewhere. . . .
Roland Greene, a professor of English and comparative literature at Stanford University and president of the MLA, said the association wanted Texas faculty members to know that “we stand with you.” . . .
The MLA is one of 29 scholarly associations that have jointly condemned the campus carry law.
(Hat-tip: Instapundit.) What the MLA is saying is that Texans are so manifestly unfit to govern themselves that they need literature professors to dictate their laws to them. Does anyone really think the average Ph.D. in English is so superior to the average Texan that a Stanford literature professor (author of such books as Five Words: Critical Semantics in the Age of Shakespeare and Cervantes) has the authority to tell Texans what to do? Good luck with that, buddy.
What part of "Come and Take It" do these MLA professors not understand? https://t.co/aeNkHD42jq

General Kelly, You Clearly Don’t Understand How “Progress” Works
Posted on | January 9, 2016 | 17 Comments

This is precisely the sort of scurrilous, retro-warrior thinking that Political Correctness was supposed to squash:
Kelly, who has been a Marine for 45 years and served three tours in Iraq, said the sole basis for change in the military should be whether the change will make units more lethal.
We no longer have the intellectual honesty to ask whether a given policy enhances combat effectiveness. Only whether the policy helps our godless Commie sodomites in office feel better about themselves.
Jax State Is #FCSCocky Today #FearTheBeak! #BlowSoutherners UPDATE: Bisons Defeat JSU 37-10 as NDSU Claims Fifth Straight Title
Posted on | January 9, 2016 | 11 Comments
True story: One afternoon when I was a sophomore at Jacksonville (Ala.) State University, two of my buddies and I left Jack Hopper Dining Hall and headed over toward the student center to shoot some pool.
Just as we were approaching the front doors of what is now the Theron Montgomery Building, the doors swung open and there she was: Teresa Cheatham, Miss Alabama 1978 and runner-up in the Miss America Pageant. Our eyes popped open at the sight of the most beautiful girl on a campus that was then, as now, famous for its beautiful girls. But what happened next was the real shocker.
“Hi, Stacy! How are you doing!” Teresa said, greeting me with a smile.
“Well, uh . . . Hi, Teresa,” I replied, reaching out to shake her hand. “Congratulations. You did us proud, but you should have won. They cheated you, honestly.” So we stood there for just a minute, chatting and laughing, and then Teresa went on where she was going, while me and my buddies headed into the student center. As soon as the doors closed behind us, my buddies started high-fiving me.
“Wow! You know her?”
Yeah, I played it off real casual-like, but that moment was actually a tribute to Teresa, who had the kind of memory for faces and names that is part of the “poise” and “leadership” element of being a pageant winner. She had played a lead role in the student performance of Cabaret my freshman year, when I was in a non-speaking role among the cast. Although I can’t remember if we had ever actually talked to each other during the weeks of rehearsals, somehow Teresa had remembered my name, so that she was able to greet me like an old friend after she had become a famous celebrity at JSU.

Jax State is “The Friendliest Campus in the South” and, with only about 7,500 students, there is a small-town atmosphere that makes it easy to get to know people. Tuition is only $8,790 a year, which makes for a down-to-earth attitude — many of the students are from working-class families, and nobody’s rich, so you don’t have a lot of snobbery or the kind of politically correct social-justice mentality that seems to make the so-called “elite” schools such a wretched nightmare.
Anyway, my beloved alma mater is playing today in the NCAA FCS Championship Game in Frisco, Texas:
Jacksonville State is the No. 1 ranked FCS team in the country and has beaten three Top 10 teams in this year’s playoffs, yet is a 3-point underdog in Saturday’s national championship game.
And with good reason.
The Gamecocks’ opponent is none other than North Dakota State, not only the country’s second-ranked FCS team but the winner of four consecutive national championships. All of those victories have taken place at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas, once again the site of Saturday’s championship game.
“People probably look at us as the underdog, but I don’t really feel like we’re the underdog,” Jacksonville State quarterback Eli Jenkins said. “We’re the No. 1 team in the nation, and we’re that for a reason. But North Dakota State, they deserve the attention. This is their fifth year in this position. They’re a great, well-coached football team. They deserve everything that’s coming to them.”
Game time is noon ET, 11 a.m. Central, and I’ll be updating for y’all. Everybody say, “GO BIG COCKS!”
GO GAMECOCKS!
"Fight on for old Jax State! We're proud that we're from Alabama!"

UPDATE: North Dakota was stopped on their first possession and settled for a field goal, then drove for a touchdown to go ahead 10-0 early in the second quarter. Then they had an interception and North Dakota went ahead 17-0. That’s OK, Gamecocks. Still plenty of time. Just hang in there and keep on fighting.

UPDATE II: Alas, a Gamecock victory was not to be:
The greatest modern college football dynasty kept rolling along on Saturday as North Dakota State won its fifth consecutive FCS national championship — a record for consecutive titles at any level of college football — with a dominating performance against Jacksonville State.
North Dakota State cruised to a 37-10 win over the Gamecocks in Frisco, Texas. The Bison defense locked down on the dynamic Jacksonville State offense and turned a pair of first half turnovers into touchdowns as North Dakota State jumped out to a 24-0 halftime lead.
On offense, the Bison got a great game from star quarterback Carson Wentz, who returned after missing eight games due to a wrist injury. Wentz is one of the top quarterback prospects for the upcoming 2016 NFL Draft, ranked as the No. 4 quarterback and 36th overall in CBS Sports’ prospect rankings.
Wentz completed 16-of-30 passes for 197 yards 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions, looking solid in his first game back under center after the injury.
Not only did Wentz spin it through the air, he showed off the wheels with 9 carries for 79 yards and two touchdowns, including a great effort this 11-yard touchdown run that put the Bison ahead 17-0.
My wife said, “I hope that’s not an omen.” Yeah. My Dad’s alma mater — maybe you’ve heard of them — has a game Monday night.
A great season by a great team. We are all so proud of you!

Feminist Tumblr Syndrome
Posted on | January 9, 2016 | 197 Comments
Kylo Ren is the name of the villain in the latest Star Wars movie. You may wonder, “What does that have to do with feminism?” Honestly, I don’t know, but Lis is a feminist Tumblr blogger:
Got that? OK, so now you may be ready for this from Lis:
It is perhaps necessary, for readers not familiar with Third Wave feminist jargon, for me to explain that “dfab” means designated female at birth — biologically, she’s female — and “demigirl” is “a gender identity describing someone who partially, but not wholly, identifies as” female. Whenever I encounter bizarre jargon terms like this (which are very common in Feminist Tumblr) my first impulse is alway to wonder, “Has she consulted an endocrinologist?”
This is not merely sarcasm. Because I intend to include a chapter on Feminist Tumblr in the second edition of Sex Trouble, I’ve plowed through enough of these blog profiles that various patterns and clusters of symptoms have become apparent to me. “Feminist Tumblr Syndrome” typically involves a combination of mental illness and abnormal sexuality. There may be feminists who are both (a) sane and (b) heterosexual, but none of those women are running Tumblr blogs.
These women are a non-random set — there is a pattern, as I say — and in many cases, the Feminist Tumblr blogger will describe herself in ways that seem symptomatic of endocrine disorders. I find myself wondering, “Has your doctor checked your thyroid function? Do you have any problems with your metabolism? What about your hormone levels? Is there some kind of underlying gynecological problem? An undetected cyst somewhere? Could you maybe ask the doctor to run an MRI?”
It is difficult to believe that an entirely healthy 20-year-old would be spending all her time on Tumblr, describing herself as a bisexual “dfab white demigirl,” claiming she is the victim of a “hostile environment” and ranting about Star Wars characters.
Crazy is as crazy does, I guess, and the fact that I consider these weirdos on Feminist Tumblr to be a subject for journalistic research may not say much for my own mental health. Yet if “the personal is political,” as Carol Hanisch says, we cannot understand feminism without examining the demography of the movement’s rank-and-file, and in the 21st century, one way to do this is by examining the movement’s online presence in free-for-all venues like Tumblr. And let me point out something you may not have noticed: Lis’s denunciation of Kylo Ren (which got nearly 12,000 notes on Tumblr) labeled him a “cishet white male.”
OK, what is “cishet”? This jargon term combines the prefix cis– (which is the opposite of trans-) and “het” which is short for heterosexual, so that “cishet” just means a man who is sexually and biologically normal, and Feminist Tumblr demonizes “cishet white males” as the Worst Thing Any Human Could Possibly Be.
Young feminists evidently believe it is wrong to be male, wrong to be white, and wrong to be heterosexual. The rhetoric of the feminist movement, day in and day out, looks very much like hate propaganda against anyone who fits the category of “cishet white males,” and yet nobody ever seems to question this type of categorical hatred.
To understand this hatred, perhaps it might help to take a look at the feminist “humor” of The White Dad Magazine.

Dad’s are kind of hard to get. Mine never said much. He brought the fishing rig behind him, like he was pointing at one of my footprints in the sand that wasn’t neat enough. Then he cast it with just a hint of violence. Maybe one of the clouds was bad.
He smiled at me with eyes full of something that seemed to get stuck in his throat and handed me the pole.
“Here you are, honey.”
Fishing there with him in the ocean was the happiest time. Mom said that was as far from Afghanistan as he could go.

Feminist Barbie and ‘Rape Culture’
Posted on | January 7, 2016 | 44 Comments
“Math class is tough!”
With that simple four-word phrase, Mattel’s “Teen Talk Barbie” became the focus of a feminist uproar in 1992. The prestige of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) was invoked in a successful crusade to make the talking doll shut up. The abundant research showing that, on average, boys actually do better at math, and that Teen Talk Barbie’s complaint was therefore something many girls could relate to, did not matter to feminist fanatics at the AAUW who targeted the Mattel toy in “a report on how schools shortchange girls.”
Of course, as with everything else feminists say, this was a lie. It is actually boys who are shortchanged in American schools, which now systematically discourage male academic achievement:
Statistically, boys drop out of high school at higher rates than girls. Boys get lower grades and report liking school less. Men enter college at lower rates than women, and are more likely to drop out once they get there. Women receive the majority of master’s and doctorate degrees. The suicide rate is about four times higher among men than women.
Anti-male discrimination in the American education system is part of what Christina Hoff Sommers calls The War Against Boys. (See also The Decline of Males by Lionel Tiger and Men on Strike by Helen Smith.) Women are now 57% of college undergraduate enrollment and feminists have stirred up a phony “rape epidemic” hysteria to make it clear — if it was not already clear — that heterosexual males are not welcome on university campuses. Feminists seek to achieve “equality” by preventing male achievement; stigmatizing college men as rapists and mocking them as “nerds” is part of a deliberate campaign to reduce educational and employment opportunities for young males.
Creating an attitude of anti-male sexual paranoia (“Fear and Loathing of the Penis”) is essential to the success of this feminist effort. Promoting the false claim that 1-in-5 female college students are victims of rape was the centerpiece of a “rape culture” discourse used to deprive male students of due-process rights. More than 100 lawsuits have been filed by college men who say they were falsely accused of sexual assault and denied their constitutional rights in campus disciplinary procedures demanded by feminist activists and imposed by Obama administration officials (the infamous 2011 “Dear Colleague” letter).
Having enlisted Democrat politicians and the media in a nationwide campaign to create a climate of anti-male rage among female university students, however, feminists are now confronted by an absence of evidence (“The Campus Rape Shortage”) of the alleged epidemic of sexual assault. “Math class is tough,” like Barbie said, and the actual numbers don’t add up to anything remotely near the 1-in-5 claim that feminists have promoted. Mark J. Perry at the American Enterprise Institute has done the math:
In a January 2014 report titled “Rape and Sexual Assault: A Renewed Call to Action” (which led to the creation of the “White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault” headed by Vice-President Joe Biden), the White House made the following two claims:
White House Claim 1. Sexual assault is a particular problem on college campuses: 1 in 5 women has been sexually assaulted while in college (pages 1, 2, 10, 14).
White House Claim 2. Reporting rates for campus sexual assault are also very low: on average only 12% of student victims report the assault to law enforcement (page 14). . . .
I’ve done the math using: a) the actual number of reported sexual assaults for several major college campuses and b) the White House reporting percentage claim of only 12%, for the University of Florida, Ohio State University, the University of Texas-Austin, Michigan State University, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Michigan, and UC-Berkeley, and found that the estimated number of college women who are sexually assaulted while in college is between 1 in 20 and 1 in 79. That’s still too high, but it’s nowhere near 1 in 5.
Let’s do some more math using recently updated crime statistics from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities for the four years from 2011-2014 (data are available here for 2012-2014 and here for 2011, and those data are summarized in the Table 1 above) and the White House’s reporting assumption of 12%. Over the most recent four-year period, there were 80 reports of “forcible sex offenses” at the University of Minnesota’s main Twin Cities campus. We’ll assume that 100% of the sexual assaults victims were female and 100% of the offenders were male. Using the White House claim that only 12% of campus sexual assaults get reported, there would have been approximately 587 unreported sexual assaults at UM during that period, bringing the total number of sexual assaults (reported + unreported) to 667. . . .
The University of Minnesota main campus has a total student population of 50,500, and about 26,000 of those students are female. Dividing the 667 estimated sexual assaults (80 reported + 587 unreported) over the most recent four-year period into the 26,000 Minnesota female students would mean that only 2.56% of University Minnesota women, or about 1 in 39, would be sexually assaulted while in college for four years. . . .
Read the whole thing and remember that Perry’s calculations are based on the assumption that 88% of campus sexual assaults are never reported, a generous concession to the ideologues who fomented this anti-male hoax with Statistical Voodoo and Elastic Definitions.
