Feminism as Cliché: When You’re Just Another Privileged White Girl
Posted on | August 20, 2017 | 3 Comments
Where to start? Hood College is a notorious lesbian school and it’s a mystery why its enrollment keeps declining. Originally founded as a strict Calvinist college for women, Hood admitted male students in the 1970s, becoming coed just about the time it ceased to be Christian.
Hood is a bastion of far-left politics in conservative western Maryland. Republicans are persona non grata on the faculty and, while there are occasional rumors of heterosexuality on campus, the school’s reputation is such that when guys in Frederick see girls wearing Hood College T-shirts, their reaction is, “Oh, don’t bother. They’re lesbians.”
The Feminist Student Union at Hood might be more influential if it wasn’t so redundant, being more or less coterminous with the Queer Student Union, which is basically the entire student body.
Ellie Blaser is a recent Hood College graduate who works for a non-profit “social justice” organization. She is an “intersectional” feminist,” i.e., she hates everything white, male, capitalist, heterosexual and/or Republican. Or maybe she’s just name-checking black lesbian Audre Lorde in a sort of virtue-signaling gesture. It’s hard to tell with these young Third Wave types sometimes, but when a rich girl (a) feels obliged to denounce herself as “privileged, white, cisgendered” and (b) attended a left-wing indoctrination center like Hood, you know she’s got to be dealing with multiple layers of neurotic self-hatred.
Being an “intersectional” feminist means believing all males are sexist oppressors — “OH MY GOD MEN ARE THE WORSTTTTT,” to quote Ellie Blaser — even if you claim to be heterosexual, as Ellie Blaser did twice, in a badly-written January 2016 screed on her Tumblr blog:
I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to say that in the last couple years, “feminism” has become a buzzword.
I’m not saying that’s a bad thing — anyone who knows me could probably guess that I’m all for it. Feminism is, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.” Today in 2016 we still live in a world where women everywhere are constantly put at a disadvantage because of their gender (not to mention various other struggles many women face in regards to their race and presence within the LGBTQ+ community). As such, I’m all for feminism becoming a wider used word, something that any and everybody can feel comfortable and proud using. When I was in high school just a few years ago, I would only reluctantly call myself a feminist, out of fear of being ridiculed or called a “feminazi” (both of those things did happen over the course of my high school career). So yes I’m happy that positive connotations of the word have become more popular. Why wouldn’t I? . . .
Did I mention that Ellie Blaser majored in communications at Hood College? Did I mention that the annual cost to attend Hood is $48,740 including tuition, room and board? Never mind. Continue, Ms. Blaser:
Since feminism’s foray into pop culture, there have been countless articles and think-pieces written about what exactly it takes to be a “good feminist,” and more importantly, what would put you in the bad category. (If you want to read more about this specifically, I would check out Roxane Gay’s “Bad Feminist,” which I haven’t actually gotten around to reading myself but which I hear is great.) This can be a confusing and uncomfortable topic of conversation for anyone who is at all interested in social justice and also happens to enjoy most popular mainstream pieces of media, because fun fact for those of you who might not have caught on, but the majority of television shows, movies, books, and music (etc.) that we usually consume are pretty sexist. (It also goes without saying that they are also often racist, homophobic, etc.) This isn’t something I’m saying as an exaggeration — it’s quite simply and truly a fact. . . .
Well, you can read the rest of that. Or try to read it, I should say. The quoted excerpts are sufficient to demonstrate that, whatever else she may have learned at Hood College, she didn’t learn to write a persuasive essay, nor even a coherent paragraph. You might be surprised to learn that her collegiate dream was to “live in a fancy apartment in the city, writing for some cool magazine and spending my nights being [pursued] by attractive men who appreciate my looks and even more so my feminism.”
Dreams die hard, when your college doesn’t bother teaching basic prose composition. As for attractive men who might appreciate Ms. Blaser’s looks, obviously none of them attended Hood College, where the enrollment is 63% female and, as the Frederick boys say, “Why bother?”
Readers are at liberty to appreciate Ms. Blaser’s looks, if they wish, but the question is, why should “attractive men” appreciate her feminism? Perhaps times have changed since I was a young bachelor, but I’d imagine that the minute a college girl says the word “intersectionality” aloud, every heterosexual male in the room takes this as his cue to exit: “Oh, dear God, here comes another screechy ‘rape culture’ lecture.”
Why do girls at private liberal arts colleges keep telling these Tales of the Oppressive Patriarchy? Do they expect anyone to believe they are “constantly put at a disadvantage because of their gender”? Do these juvenile feminists even believe their own propaganda?
Never mind the rhetorical questions, however, because last November, a week before Election Day, Ellie Blaser published a column in the Hood College student newspaper with the headline, “Being a Feminist in the Age of Trump,” which began:
Calling yourself a feminist isn’t always the easiest thing to do.
Despite its pretty straight-forward meaning, which according to Dictionary.com is, “advocating social, political, legal, and economic rights for women equal to those of men”, the term feminism has been misused and misinterpreted for years, developing a reputation that tends to illicit more disdain than anything else.
As someone who has been self-identifying as a feminist since high school, I’ve gotten used to receiving all sorts of negative reactions. I’ve had guys immediately try and argue why I shouldn’t call myself a feminist, and other guys drag famous women’s equality advocates through the mud, as if somehow by discrediting them I’ll change my mind.
There are people who tell me the term feminist is offensive, because it “excludes men,” and other people tell me it’s dumb to believe in feminism, because in 2016 things are equal. And then there’s my favorite: a raised eye, judgmental tone. “Oh. You’re a feminist?”
As if it’s so ridiculous.
And I want to be clear, these reactions don’t just come from men. I’ve had women and girls telling me that I shouldn’t identify as a feminist for as long as I’ve had men doing so. . . .
Notice, first, that Ms. Blaser wrote “illicit” (adjective) when she meant “elicit” (verb), suggesting that “How to Use a Dictionary” is not to be found anywhere in the Hood College curriculum. More importantly, however, Ms. Blaser’s account of reactions to her self-declared feminism suggests that young guys haven’t been paying attention to my oft-repeated advice: Never talk to a feminist.
Guys who “immediately try and argue why I shouldn’t call myself a feminist” are fools. As soon as she declares herself a feminist, as I say, the smart young man’s reaction should be to walk away in silence:
Guys: Learn to take a hint. Learn to walk away.
If a woman tells you she is a feminist, say nothing and walk away.
No feminist wants to hear what a man has to say, and life is too short to waste your time talking to feminists. Just walk away.
Leave feminists alone, and then they can complain about that.
There is no point arguing with a feminist. There is nothing to discuss. The feminist has complete contempt for males. She considers men useless and irrelevant. She has no respect for you. The fact that you are a man means you are automatically wrong about everything. She is the judge, jury and prosecutor, and all men are guilty. Case closed.
The reason why feminists think all men are stupid is because no intelligent man would ever waste time talking to a feminist.
Let the young man ask himself this: Would a woman even mention feminism to a guy if she was attracted to him? Of course not. Every woman with a lick of common sense understands that men find feminist rhetoric insulting. Therefore, if a guy meets a woman and she starts talking feminism, he may assume that she does so to insult him.
Or maybe she just doesn’t have a lick of common sense.
Either way, no intelligent man would waste his time talking to her. The feminist is emotionally committed to the belief that males are an oppressive enemy, and that she is a victim of the patriarchy, and no amount of logical argument will ever persuade her otherwise. Like a schizophrenic in the grip of a paranoid delusion, or a devoted member of a religious cult, the feminist is beyond the reach of facts and logic.
Even if a guy otherwise found Ellie Blaser attractive — hey, take a look and decide for yourself — does he really want to get involved with the kind of girl who thinks it’s clever to name-check Audre Lorde? Factor in her deficiencies in prose composition, her inability to tell the difference between “illicit” and “elicit,” and also consider that she went to Hood College, and Ms. Blaser’s not exactly a premium-quality selection.
Dear Everyone: Please Stop Telling Me I’m
Vapid and Self-Absorbed for Posting Selfies
That was the headline on a Tumblr rant Ms. Blaser published a couple of years ago, and I don’t know how to begin describing her “argument,” except to say it is a Gordian knot of tangled solipsistic gibberish.
Ellie Blaser is a 21st-century cliché, the “privileged, white, cisgendered” girl with a “passion for feminism and social justice” who goes to a private liberal arts college, spews incoherent nonsense on social media, and can’t understand why guys don’t like her. Hypothetically heterosexual, but with not much prospect of turning theory into practice, she devotes herself to lashing out at the demonized scapegoat, Donald Trump.
You see, as Ms. Blaser says, “social justice is a journey” — down a certain road that is proverbially paved with good intentions. No hope of persuading her to turn back now. Might as well wish her Bon voyage!
Once a young feminist has spent four years at a $48,740-a-year “social justice” factory like Hood College, she’s irretrievably doomed.

What Does It Mean to ‘Care’?
Posted on | August 19, 2017 | Comments Off on What Does It Mean to ‘Care’?
Kayla Chadwick is an alumna of elite private Hebron Academy ($57,200 a year for boarding students), who got her bachelor’s degree from elite private Trinity College ($66,440 a year, including room and board) before getting her master’s degree from elite private Syracuse University ($60,239 a year including room and board). If you guessed her Daddy’s rich, uh . . . guess again, but like most rich kids nowadays, she’s the kind of “progressive” who considers herself obligated to tell the rest of us what to think. If your Daddy can’t afford the tuition at Trinity, obviously, you are inferior to Kayla Chadwick, and you should be grateful she has condescended to tutor you about your moral and intellectual failings.
I Don’t Know How To Explain To You
That You Should Care About Other People
That’s the headline on a Huffington Post column that Kayla Chadwick published in June, but which I didn’t encounter until today, and immediately took umbrage at Ms. Chadwick’s elitist condescension. Elliott Hamilton of Daily Wire said of Ms. Chadwick’s column that it “reaches peak virtue signaling while simultaneously expressing the sanctimonious nature of the political Left.” As a parody of snooty liberal know-it-all-ism, Ms. Chadwick’s argument is impeccable and if anybody wants to know How Your Get More Trump, she’s a perfect example.
She’s white, she’s privileged, and she wants you to know that her Emmy Award (for video editing) qualifies her to tell you what to think:
I don’t know how to explain to someone why they should care about other people.
Personally, I’m happy to pay an extra 4.3 percent for my fast food burger if it means the person making it for me can afford to feed their own family. If you aren’t willing to fork over an extra 17 cents for a Big Mac, you’re a fundamentally different person than I am.
I’m perfectly content to pay taxes that go toward public schools, even though I’m childless and intend to stay that way, because all children deserve a quality, free education. If this seems unfair or unreasonable to you, we are never going to see eye to eye.
If I have to pay a little more with each paycheck to ensure my fellow Americans can access health care? SIGN ME UP. Poverty should not be a death sentence in the richest country in the world. If you’re okay with thousands of people dying of treatable diseases just so the wealthiest among us can hoard still more wealth, there is a divide between our worldviews that can never be bridged.
I don’t know how to convince someone how to experience the basic human emotion of empathy. . . .
You can read the rest, but I think you see what it was about Kayla Chadwick’s argument that most offended me. Whereas my wife and I care so much about “other people” that we’ve raised a family of six children, Ms. Chadwick — the elite-educated beneficiary of wealth and privilege — is so self-centered she can’t be bothered. Like most young feminists, she’s childless because she’s too selfish to “care about other people,” except insofar as this involves (a) outsourcing the obligations of “empathy” to the government, and (b) urging people to vote Democrat.
Liberals care so much about the poor, for example, they insist that taxpayers should fund Planned Parenthood to give poor people abortions, and if that isn’t your definition of “empathy,” then obviously you didn’t get the kind of elite education Kayla Chadwick got at all those swanky private schools she attended. You’re probably part of those “hordes of selfish, cruel people” who don’t know “how to be a good person.” You voted Republican, and Kayla Chadwick has no empathy for you because you’re probably a heterosexual man, anyway . . .
Hating males for being male, hating white people for being white, hating heterosexuals for being heterosexual — this is “empathy,” according to the Democrat Party, and this is how you get more Trump.

The Media Blame-Game Routine
Posted on | August 19, 2017 | 2 Comments
James Alex Fields Jr., Random Idiot of the Month.
Ramming a car into a crowd of protesters is a bad idea, and I’m against it. Because I have not advocated political violence, I cannot be blamed for it, and I refuse to play along with the liberal guilt-trip game where conservatives are expected to deny, denounce and repudiate their beliefs because some random idiot did something wrong and stupid.
Da Tech Guy offers two laws of media outrage:
- The level of Outrage or interest of the media and their allies on the left concerning any insult or prevarication concerning a person or thing will routinely be equal to the inverse of the degree of the political distance between said media / leftists and and the target of said insult or prevarication at the time it is made.
- The level of acceptance of the positions and/or actions of any group or organization by the left and media is directly proportional to their current or potential value in electing liberal Democrats.
The media ignore (or in some cases, celebrate) political violence by the Left, as for example the riots in Ferguson, Baltimore and Charlotte that were incited by the Black Lives Movement. Liberal journalists were OK with student radicals using violence (or the threat thereof) to disrupt or prevent campus appearances by Milo Yiannopoulos, Charles Murray, Ann Coulter and Heather Mac Donald. And whatever violence “antifa” protesters inflicted on attendees at the “Alt-Right” rally in Charlottesville is also acceptable to the mainstream media.
However, when the Random Idiot decided to plow his Dodge Challenger into the “antifa” mob, suddenly the media decided that political violence was a bad thing, and the Republican Party was to blame for it.
As to the “issue” that the media would have us believe that the Random Idiot’s crime symbolizes, Professor Glenn Reynolds nails it:
When Democrats’ national position depended on unwavering support from “the Solid South,” we got lots of pro-Southern propaganda: the Lost Cause, Gone With The Wind, Disneyfied Uncle Remus, etc. As a vital Democrat constituency group, southerners, even practical neo-Confederates, were absolved of all sins as long as they stayed in line.
Now the South isn’t “solid” anymore — or, more accurate, it’s becoming pretty solidly Republican — so rather than receiving cultural dispensations, it now gets targeted for cultural warfare.
That’s all that’s going on here.
“Democrat operatives with bylines,” indeed. If a majority of gay people ever started voting Republican, suddenly the liberal media would find a way to argue that homosexuality is a threat to progressive values.
BANNON OUT AT WHITE HOUSE
Posted on | August 18, 2017 | 1 Comment
“Dance with the one that brung ya,” is always good advice in politics. Elected officials must represent the people who elected them, and the guy whose mission it was to speak for those people inside the Trump White House was Steve Bannon. It was Bannon’s self-chosen task to fight what he called “the Deep State,” the entrenched political interests in Washington opposed to any fundamental change in U.S. policy. Bannon understood, better than almost anyone in D.C., that the kind of voters who made the difference for Trump in last year’s election — swinging formerly “blue” states like Pennsylvania and Michigan into the GOP column for the first time in nearly 30 years — wanted a drastic change to the status quo. Bannon spoke of “economic nationalism” as the basis of Trump’s appeal to disaffected white working-class voters, and he understood that the liberal media — determined to defend the bipartisan globalist/welfare-state policy agenda — would wage an all-out war against the Trump administration. It was therefore perhaps inevitable that Bannon would become a casualty in that war:
Steve Bannon, President Trump’s chief strategist, will leave his position at the White House after eight months on the job, the White House said on Friday.
The announcement came on his last day in the administration, the White House noted, announcing that Trump and chief of staff John Kelly had jointly arrived at the decision. They decided his last day would be today, according to White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.
Bannon’s exit will cap off a period of upheaval for the West Wing that has already seen the ouster of Trump’s chief of staff, press secretary, communications director, and several national security staffers.
As the former head of Breitbart, a fiery news outlet, Bannon had long drawn the ire of Democrats who viewed him as sympathetic to the “alt-right” movement. Calls for his resignation grew louder in the wake of racially motivated violence in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend.
Kelly, who took over from Reince Priebus last month, bristled at Bannon’s unorthodox style from the beginning, sources familiar with the situation have said. Kelly suspected Bannon was responsible for a series of negative stories about national security adviser H.R. McMaster, with whom Bannon had feuded over ideological differences.
Those sources have also said Bannon’s position as chief strategist came with an ill-defined portfolio that likely left his job duties unclear to Kelly.
Reports are that Bannon will return to Breitbart.com and “go ‘thermonuclear’ against ‘globalists’ that Bannon and his friends believe are ruining the Trump administration, and by extension, America.” This is good news, insofar as Bannon will be more effective outside the White House than inside an administration where he had reportedly been “marginalized” by his enemies, but it is a bad omen for Trump’s prospects of keeping his promise to “Make America Great Again.”
The media’s smear against Bannon as a proponent of “white supremacy” or “white nationalism” is easily refuted. David Horowitz mourned Bannon’s departure from the White House as a “sad day” and, if you know anything about Horowitz, you know how much he loathes racism.
A sad day for us. Steve was a true hero of this administration, & target of the biggest hate movement in America: https://t.co/ihziQDKgV8
— David Horowitz (@horowitz39) August 18, 2017
Like Bannon, Horowitz understands that politics is a war of ideas, and only because the Democrats deliberately foment identity-group hostility do we have incidents like what happened in Charlottesville. Horowitz is correct that the Left is “the biggest hate movement in America,” and he knows that Steve Bannon understands this as well.
