  • "What now gets labeled feminism on [college] campuses," says Northwestern University Professor Laura Kipnis, "has to do with dialing back a lot the progress women have made establishing ourselves as consenting adults."
    That was the main argument of an essay Kipnis published this past February in The Chronicle of Higher Education, titled, "Sexual Paranoia Strikes Academe." After the article appeared, the Northwestern campus erupted in protest. Students demonstrated by carrying mattresses and pillows and wrote a public letter accusing Kipnis of "[spitting] in the face of survivors of rape and sexual assault everywhere.”
    Then two students filed complaints with the university, and Northwestern brought Kipnis up on charges under Title IX of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which outlaws discrimination on college campuses that receive federal support. The charges were later dismissed, but not before Kipnis wrote a follow up essay in Chronicle, "My Title IX Inquisition."
    Last week, Kipnis sat down with Reason's Matt Welch to talk about campus feminism, Title IX, why Hustler's Larry Flynt and anti-porn activist Andrea Dworkin have a lot in common, and her recent book, Men: Notes from an Ongoing Investigation.

    Why do men always defer to women what it means to be a man? If I told a woman how to be a woman, I'd be called sexist before I could finish the thought.

      Because ultimately masculinity is performative, and the key question is who men are performing it *for*.

    12:15 in; If you're not willing to blame feminism is it due to fear of further feminist backlash?
    Feminism is to blame for male listlessness. When consent can be removed anytime even years after the act of coitus due to feminist policy and advocacy how do you think males are going to react?
    When you have an education system that tells males they are defective females due to, again, feminist advocacy and policy, how do you expect males to react?
    When feminism tells male victims of DV that its their fault their spouses initiated violence how do you think they are going to take it?
    Just a short list of feminism's atrocities.

      ***** _"don't call it male listlessness. That's just pandering to the women who are whining about not getting what they want out of men"_
      First, I acknowledge that Danny is using the speaker's words, as, I believe, you are also.
      Second, I also acknowledge that the world "listlessness" is a softener word. A synonym of the word is "resigned."
      I think that is a reasonably good word. Many men are resigned to the fact that current circumstances are not balanced, and are even in many cases tipped against us. MGTOW, is a reflection of this state, but of a slightly more active stance where men are looking for other ways to meet our needs. Men's Rights Activism where people are making efforts to establish balance is another pro-active choice. Let us note that being vocal and active is the very opposite of listlessness.
      As for the rest in the general men's movement, I think that resigned or listless is an accurate description of their state.

      Do you mean a further backlash towards feminism (from men and women) or do you mean a backlash from feminism towards the speaker?
      It's like the saying "when you go out to fight monsters, beware you don't become one" or "when you look out at the abyss; the abyss looks back"
      They turned men as a group into a literal boggeyman. Then they became all the things they accused men and the patriarcy of being.
      Shutting down a debate? No we are just enjoying our freedom of speech... but those people trying to stop us from interupting a debate well they are not allowing our freedom of speech.
      I wonder what the feminists of the 60's and 70's would do if they got to see what their movement turned into?

      It's a bit more broad as these types of investigations happen in corporations as well.
      For what ever reason, the Perpetually Offended have caught the ear of those in power, and have leveraged them to do their bidding.
      Typically, I'd label this a a straight-up power grab using the guise of "justice" to sell it, but the tone is closer to a witch trial, and as groups cannibalize themselves, it's hard to say exactly where this is heading.

      Power consolidation and then repudiation after the initiators realize they are targets too, and due process might not only be for criminals.
      In truth, the sensibility has never gone away, and there are numerous mass hysterias that follow. My own tin foil hat take is that the current generation of feminist have come to the unkind realization that Equality is Hard in modern times, and are gently side-stepping their full measure in the hopes of being coddled in ways that compliment their lifestyle.
      They are in for a rude awakening. Even the old guard feminsist, such as myself, have had enough of their shit.

    It's interesting how, in any video debunking feminism, the comments are always in favour of the video whereas in videos like this the comments are generally opposed to feminism. I think it shows how unpopular feminism is amongst the general population yet how afraid the majority are to voice their beliefs for fear of being labelled sexist...

  • @NHLFarmteams
    @NHLFarmteams Před 9 lety +6

    Laura, you nailed it on identity politics but it is not about marginalization it is about "perceived" oppression. That has devolved into micro-aggressions which is not a culture of injury but a culture of "victim-hood". While it is convenient to re-frame the terms of reference to obfuscate the subject (classic feminist tactic) it comes off as disingenuous and you lose credibility.
    BTW, it's not male listlessness it's now full on rejection of feminist dogma. Men aren't lazy, they are just no longer listening to the propaganda. Unfortunately feminists have been using dubious social surveys, statistics and "expanded" definitions to further their agenda. That has damaged the credibility and tempered the hype associated with all manner of real issues that require discussion.
    Most men are a pragmatic lot, if you speak to us without hyperbole you just might find we're not the misogynist group your movement makes us out to be.

Listening to this woman explain her perceived victimization, by elements of a culture she herself is a part of, is akin to listening to Charles Manson explain family dynamics. "Progressive Socialists" have been laying the track for this train-wreck for generations, and are surprised when they are struck by unforeseen shrapnel? How deliciously ironic.

    This woman is absolutely part of the problem. She created a gendered supremacy movement which sought to gain privilege for women in society over men. She sat quietly while Paul Nungesser was eviscerated at Columbia because it didn't affect her. She doesn't even come close to fully acknowledging the role of her political ideology in what is happening to her. Now, the monsters she's helped to create are coming after her and I'm supposed to feel sorry?
    It's like what happened to Stephen Colbert and his horde of idiot SJWs.

  • @ZombieX13
    @ZombieX13 Před 9 lety +4

    I find it odd that the idea of women entering the workforce is considered empowering. Only an ideology as inconsistent as feminism and statism would call this kind of debt slavery empowerment. Women HAD to join the workforce to keep their families out of poverty with the destruction of the dollar, the exponentially growing debt, and raping of the economy and family by the government.
    Traditional sex roles are a biological construct not a social construct. Men find resources to bring to women to gain access to reproductive means. Women require a producer to support them while they make goddamn babies and tend to them. Marriage is a reproductive endeavour biologically. Of course this is the hard biological perspective that runs along side the cognitive function of love and personhood but it is the true driver.
    I'm not a social conservative but to be so arrogant to think you can short circuit our reproductive nature and method hardwired into our DNA will cause this exact kind of social chaos. You have to firstly recognize and fight the poison of government intervention that sends false economic signals and false opportunity, choose your reproductive role whether it be children or no children and stick with it, and stop pretending humans are the masters of their own biology. You are not greater than your sum total.
    You have to choose a career or a family. Now it could be the male or the female who raises the kids/works. But it takes 2 or more to raise children. And for feminism to insist that women can do both is the cause of so much disfunction in society. The statistics of single parenthood are clear. Sociopthy and criminality are huge in single parent homes. Advancements in real empowerment of women are great. Philosophy and technology have given us some wiggle room in the social sphere but the humans ignore the biology because it's inconvenient and strawman'd as predestination. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
    Its just like the economy: you start tinkering, manipulating, or distorting the natural order, you will have a correction and those tend to come with a body count. In this case, it is men who've fallen victim to the feminist ambush. Men who already had their own problem of disposability firmly pounded into them through biology and society to sacrifice their own lives to protect the reproductive means. This disposability is being manipulates by feminism to destroy men in the west.

She seems still very tied to the classic feminism she grew up with, and can't fully realize how much it's changed. It's very close to her heart, and that's interfering with her perception of reality. I see this is a problem, that feminists just don't want to admit how extremely bad it's gotten, because they don't want to believe something that was good a long time ago, is now ruined/unnecessary.

These women get jobs. And then the work world becomes a hell hole for men as whining feminist go to work and take offense at every slight, real or imagined.....and demand that upper management brutally enforce behavior codes that women control, to make men toe the line and do as they are told.....feminists start to control male behavior, by proxy, by manipulating the leadership. Like at university, when feminists get to the work force, they play the helpless female and coerce the top management to do their bidding and coerce and control men into doing what they want. And the work world gets even more hostile to young men, than it already is. Thank you feminism, for training young women to be hypersensitive, entitled, whining assholes......

      @dcknyoaho Před 9 lety +1

      MalaklypsetheElder I think it's largely because she has enough awareness to understand that she helped create the monster. Based on her age, I'm pretty much assuming that she was catching the tail end of 2nd wave feminism. Essentially, she grew up during it's hay day. As she was pursuing her education in the 80s, 2nd wave feminism had pretty much died down and was sowing the seeds for the 3rd wave.
      In fairness, she's a child of an age where today's technology has to be baffling to her with regards to being able to control a message of a movement. SJW mentality and political correctness have grown out of control, and it's not just in feminism. It's been hijacked, and that hijacking isn't really her fault. However, she sowed the seeds for this happen.
      I've read through a couple of her essays. It's actually fairly rational stuff; not super deep but not overly fluffy either. It's thoughtful enough to where I'll read one of her books and possibly more if it's thought provoking. The writings of hers that I have read seem to reflect pretty well her demeanor and what she has to say in this interview. Once again, however, she is the one that helped create this monster of 3rd wave feminism, which by default from its beginnings was destined to be a more "knit-picky" brand of feminism. I think she's grown appalled by how petty it has become.
      I feel uncomfortable apologizing for a feminist, but I don't it would be doing her justice to simply dismiss her as some woman saying, "Not all Feminists are like that!"

    "so if women are making like 72% of the male wage"
    This lady is a college professor and should know better than to bring up this myth. Women in their 30s who are career focused now make MORE than men do. They get hired more easily and promoted faster because companies are desperate to have women so as to not look 'sexist.' The difference in overall wages between genders is entirely explained by women making different choices than men in every part of their lives including overtime, consecutive years of experience, field of work, and ambition. Saying women are discriminated against more than men in the workplace is at this point a heinous lie.

    A woman who bases her love on what you can give her, does not love you. And if that's the
    case, I'll just get me a escort when I get that need. At least she wont take half my stuff when she gets
    tired of me. Dating is OK for some, but don't fall in love or get married. It's not worth the risk or headache.
    1: If she marries you for money, she will leave you when you don't have any.
    2: Women who only want you based on your income and job, will never love you.
    3: Hookers are better than wives because they wont take half your stuff when they leave, or
    get upset when you don't give them Valentine/Birthday gifts.
    4: No Hooker has ever taken 70% of a mans stuff in a divorce case.
    5: Women love to break men's hearts, don't give them yours.
    6: Feminists want equality, but still expect us men to pay for everything.?
    7. A Beagle, Golden Lab, or a neuterd Tomcat is a better companion than a Homo Sapien Sapiens female creature.

    Pay gap myth. 13:40. If a company could hire a group of people who does the same level of work, produces the same quality, retires at the same age and who would want to spend the same amount of time with their kids as a second group. How ever could get away pay the fist group 28% less. Why would any company ever hire anyone from the second group?

    This is nothing new for the most part. There have always been naive, radical young people roaming around on American college campuses. People who come from money, who've never really faced adversity (and who lack significant life experience), tend to behave like children--for obvious reasons. Seems like the way to make up for that is to take other people's hardships on yourself. It's essentially selfless narcissism. It's a bit of a paradox if not completely ridiculous--it's like Jesus was crucified on a mattress.

    Large numbers of men are
    checking out of education and relationships: Not because they are all obsessed with porn
    and video games, but because society and particularly relationships with women are
    now not only dangerous for men, but have nothing to offer men.
    Men used to be ambitious and work hard primarily because they wanted to be able to
    attract a female partner and to be able to support a wife and family.
    Many men know that that marriage/co-habitation and long term
    relationships are no longer an option.
    Many men see women as over-entitled, sexually promiscuous, masculinized,
    and unwilling to bring anything to a relationship. Guess what? They are not all wrong.
    Many men are also aware that marriage is now a one way street to destitution for at least
    half of all men who are still fool-hardy enough to enter into it. They do not see what is to be
    gained by entering into a relationship which will likely end with the man losing his home,
    his children and a percentage of his future income.
    Men are also aware that women are motivated by hypergamy in their choice of long term partners.
    Therefore, with most women now working and earning as much as most of the men they will meet;
    a man knows that he must be much more successful and work much harder than he would
    have been a century ago, just be be able to attract a quality mate.
    Women being more promiscuous now has two effects. Men can get casual sex quite easily; and men,
    for biological reasons, are not as likely to want to pair up long term with women they see as too promiscuous.
    And no, that is not fair because it doesn't work both ways. It is just biology. Take it up with Mother Nature.
    This is all simple market economics. When someone is not buying a product. You do not ask what is wrong
    with the customer. You ask what is wrong with the product.
    Men using more porn and video games is not because
    they are obsessed with porn and video games. It is because they no longer see long term relationships
    with women as a realistically attractive or workable option. There is very little in it for them.
    Basically western women have pushed too far and have made themselves unattractive to men.
    Western men are simply walking away. Its not what we want;
    but its something that feminism has been working quite openly for for a long time. Feminism won.
    Now women must lie in the bed that feminism made for them.
    Most of this is a direct result of politicized and institutionalized feminism that has infected
    every corner of modern western society and has been spewing its poison at men for over half a century now.

    She made some good points, but a feminist whose hauled up on specious Title IX charges is getting what she deserves, and what she would have (and in fact DID) supported in countless other cases, mostly involving males who don't have the protection of being a tenured professor (which she readily acknowledged. In her defense of feminism she differs only in degree (not in kind) from a former Nazi who says National Socialism was a good idea that was ruined by "excesses".
