Want to really understand College diversity programs? Were they created to combat the scourge of sexist, racism and homophobia?
No – not really. Instead, Heather MacDonald for Prager University says it’s much simpler. All you have to do is what you would have when trying to find the source or reason of any swindle or scam. Just follow the money.

Hollywood actress Jessica Chastain was one of Variety’s Power of Women honorees at the magazine’s 
luncheon last Friday, in support of her chosen cause, Planned Parenthood. She was also interviewed by Variety on a not-so wide range of topics. By that I mean it was just whining about how tough women have it – and oh – how scary President Trump is. In other words, the usual liberal pablum we’ve come to expect from spoiled overpaid Hollywood geniuses.
Variety: “It’s 2017, and we’re still talking about how Hollywood doesn’t treat women the same as men. Why is this still an issue?”
Chastain: “It’s depressing in terms of everything. It’s depressing in terms of women directors. But I think the problem is not just that. Yes, we need female filmmakers. … There’s a huge audience out there that wants stories about women. If you have a film that’s from a feminine point of view and 90 percent of the critics are men, that’s not diversity in that industry.” read more
As I’ve documented many times in the recent past, life on College campuses has become quite confusing and at times, downright hostile.
One glaring example is dating between students. It’s gotten to the point where a girl and guy must practically draft a contract just to go out together and there must now be verbal consent from both parties just to compliment one another, less it be misconstrued as a microaggression or trigger word, which might send one into a psychotic tailspin.
And then there is the growing rape-culture on college campuses. While I’m convinced that the overwhelming majority of college kids are decent, there have always been and will always be those who have no morals, no decency and will take advantage when an opportunity presents itself.
The Stanford University student, Brock Turner is a textbook example of this. “A jury in March found Turner guilty of three felony sexual assault counts for the January 2015 attack, which was interrupted by two graduate students who saw him assaulting a partially clothed woman behind a trash bin. Turner tried to flee, but the students tackled and pinned him down until police arrived and arrested him.” The kid raped an unconscious victim behind a dumpster!
But this type of incident, as horrific as it is, is the exception, not the rule. Unfortunately for all other guys on all other college campuses, cases like this are being broadcast as the norm, not the exception. Heterosexual guys are being classified as predators and worse. Their lives can easily be ruined as it is becoming easier for a girl, well after the fact to merely accuse a young man of some sort of aggressive behavior. And when she does, he is automatically assumed to be guilty. read more
A writer at the Huffington Post is hailing Obama’s latest control issue – mandatory government decreed overtime pay for the private sector. He says it will likely benefit 12 million American families. I disagree.
I speak in segment two of a computer generating swatting hoax perpetrated on a Massachusetts Congresswoman in retaliation for a bill she introduced to prevent online harassment.
The Zika Virus has hit America, but don’t worry – it has nothing at all to do with the huge influx of immigrants streaming across our border. The CDC assures of that. Coincidently, I disagree with this also. read more
When one wishes to take the pulse of the real radical left, you need to know where to look. Oh, I don’t mean just liberals like CNN or the Washington Post. I’m talking about radicals who think liberals aren’t liberal enough. For news on that front, you need to go to sites like MoveOn.org, ThinkProgress or the ACLU.
That being said – who doesn’t think Hollywood is progressive enough? Well, evidently the radicals at the ACLU (yes, I know that’s redundant) don’t believe progressive Hollywood is progressive enough.
Normally I would never side with the ACLU on anything. They are awful and a wholly un-American organization. But I do so enjoy when smug leftists in Hollywood get caught by other leftists not practicing what they preach.
For decades cloistered Hollywood has been on the cutting edge of every new “civil right” and liberal cause to come down the pike. But recently even it has come under fire.
We all remember the big flap over the lack of black representation at the last Academy Awards and the fight for equal pay for actresses, headlined by Jennifer Lawrence who only grossed $52 million in 2015. Poor girl.
If that’s not bad enough, “last summer, the ACLU asked federal and state agencies to explore whether gender discrimination is responsible for the dearth of female directors in the entertainment industry.” The federal investigation will be headed up by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. read more
Yes, Muslim leaders and academics in Egypt believe they have found the source of jihad. No it’s not the teachings of radical clerics – it’s the cartoon Tom and Jerry and violent video games that have been driving young men to shoot others and blow them up.
For the liberal elites and the beautiful people in Hollywood, music and the fashion industry, the Communist Island of Cuba is evidently the place to see and be seen – more to be seen. Communist Cuba is cool, assuming you know nothing about it.
It seems Mt St Helens is recharging. Scientists are detecting tiny earthquakes deep below ground – an indication the mountain is slowly coming back to life. There’s nothing to worry yet, but it is again just a matter of time. read more
To my reckoning, there are three professions people of below average intelligence can get into and still make a boat load of money. These are politics, acting and professional sports. I’m certainly not begrudging anyone who can make a very good living from a given talent, providing they just stick to what they do best and spare us all the political and cultural commentary.
As we’ve seen, one does not have to be particularly bright, attractive or athletic to run for office and win. To get elected it comes down to a matter of how well a candidate can lie, but sound sincere, sheer popularity and of course there is the ever-present race and gender issue. Yet many, if not most of these not-so-bright politicians still seem to be able to go in poor and come out rich, despite not being too bright. It is fascinating how many Senators become multi-millionaires after they are elected. Huh – funny.
And how else can a dim bulb like Sheila Jackson Lee get elected and hold her seat for 20 years. Lee has a net worth of around $1 million. That’s not rich by today’s standards, but for someone as demonstrably stupid as she, it’s nothing to sneeze at. She has been the poster girl for affirmative action her entire life.
Professional sports have far more than their fair share of multi-millionaires – most of whom are idiots. Again – more power to them if they are able to parlay their special athletic talents into a monster paycheck. The alternative for most would be no future at all. So shut up and play!
Then there are the thespians – the actors. Now, the percentage of stupid people who aspire to be big stars is probably off the charts, but it pales in comparison to percentage of big stars who are idiots. read more
It seems like the skinny clothing look has made a comeback. Skinny, or form fitting jeans and suits are all the rage amongst teens and twenty-somethings. This look was introduced back in the early sixties, particularly in dress clothes, popularized by the Rat Pack.
Yet despite the retro-style similarities, there is difference in the look from yesterday to today. The difference is femininity. The men of the sixties wore form fitting clothing yet were still decidedly masculine. Today, it appears that the object is to appear more feminine.
This is, at least in my opinion, by design. Radical feminists in our nation have been beating (metaphorically) men down for years, but the efforts have recently gone in hyper-drive, particularly at colleges and universities. This feminism has trickled down to the girls of our sons’ age. Is this the reason for the apparent transformation – or modification? Are guys dressing this way to get in touch with their feminine side, or merely to curry favor? Or maybe it’s an attempt to stay under the radar – lest they incur the wrath of these girls/women.
One example of this radicalism is a recent speaker on a college campus. Cathy Young, who both writes and speaks about radical feminism and exaggerated campus rape statistics was called a “rape apologist scum” by protesters and actually had a fire alarm pulled, forcing security to clear the building, in the middle of her talk. Her crime was evidently explaining that men have rights too. read more
In Segment One of the Podcast I discuss the feminisation of Colleges and Universities – The War on Men. How it certainly appears that a lot of women wish to eradicate their male counterparts – or a least scare them into become wussy girlie men.
In Segment Two I discuss the recent revelation by Centcom intelligence analysts, that their data has been altered to make it appear that we are winning the War on Terror and against ISIS. All to make Obama look good. read more
The Country is up in arms regarding some suggestive signs posted outside an Old Dominion University Fraternity House.
Elisha Fieldstadt at MSNBC writes that, “Crass, sexually suggestive banners ‘welcoming’ freshman women to a Virginia college last week have sparked outrage and led to the suspension of at least one of the school’s fraternities. The white signs draped over the balconies of an off-campus Old Dominion University house read “Rowdy and fun, hope your baby girl is ready for a good time,” “Freshman Daughter Drop Off” and “Go ahead and Drop Off Mom Too.”
“The Sigma Nu chapter at ODU has been suspended while the school investigates the incident,” Brad Beacham, executive director of Sigma Nu’s national headquarters said. “Any fraternity member found to be responsible for this reprehensible display will be held accountable by the fraternity,” he added.
Now, I’m not a college age teen or 20-nothing, and as such, I agree that the signs are tasteless, but I’m also not that old that I don’t remember being that age. And I can pretty much guarantee that the majority of students who saw those signs thought they were both funny and relatively harmless.
But in today’s oversensitive, over-feminized world, we’re not allowed to make light of such a thing. It’s partly because of the hopelessly overblown rape culture on college campuses these days. Yes, there are rapes on college campuses, just as there are rapes in other places. But there is no empirical data to show such an epidemic as being described by college activists. I’m not making light of rape. It’s abhorrent, but these signs don’t say “We intend to rape your daughters.” read more
