“you have to have strong women in order to deal with masculine men“
Camilla Paglia has the right of it. Sure, Ezra describes the lay of the University land, but what is the root cause? A root cause?
Obviously, we’re in a time now where parenting is in crisis, I would think. The reason we have all these whiny, super-sensitive girls on campus that’ll run shrieking at the slightest thing that offends their ears or drag mattresses onto the stage at commencement exercises, the reason we have that is because the parents have not prepared them for real life. In other words, they’ve been raised in this bourgeois, pampered cocoon, so I think there’s been a tremendous failure of parenting…
…you have to have strong women in order to deal with masculine men. That is why masculinity is constantly being eroded, diminished, and dissolved on university campuses because it allows women to be weak. If you have weak men, then you can have weak women. That’s what we have. Our university system, anything that is remotely masculine is identified as toxic, as intrinsic to rape culture. A utopian future is imagined where there are no men. We’re all genderless mannequins.
A big problem is that our K-12 fosters this environment as they have emphasized feelings over actual achievement where as long as you show up, it is cause for a celebration. And have forgotten the real reason for celebration – somebody actually accomplished something.
