Needed: More Women's Studies Classes

A couple essays related to the college scene...

Here's Wendy McElroy's most recent FoxNews.com essay. What troubles me is that, instead of pointing out that an increasing number of men face extreme difficulty as a result of not receiving good educations, she seems to feel that all will be well with women being far more educated than men. A true, two-sided role reversal would hardly be a disaster for most men. But women will not allow a system to develop in which women find it nearly impossible to have careers, and in many cases find themselves social pariahs, unless they support men and the men's children, and in which, if the relationship breaks down, the men receive the houses, custody of the children, and alimony/child support as long as an ex-husband and ex-wife are both alive or until the ex-husband remarries. (Can you imagine feminists calling that situation oppression of men they way they call the reverse situation oppression of women?)

The sociologists in Wendy's essay, who are bemoaning the fact that their poor daughters will have to go slumming, clearly need to take more women's studies classes. Haven't they learned that their daughters can all just decide to be lesbians?

(To see the rest of this post, click on "Read More.")And this essay by Terry Mapes opens with an absurd claim that women tamed the wild west. Men, of course, had no desire to have families and didn't care if their children were safe and educated. The article then goes on to present a twisted take on what's happening in the college mating scene.

There's no doubt that college men today are more able to freely test many waters than they were in the past. Since a great many college women today have heartily and happily bought into feminist lies, far fewer of them than in the past are worth having a committed relationship with. College men aren't a bunch of savages. Many of them would like to have a committed relationship with a fine woman. Given the plethora of feminists, however, and the associated dirth of fine women, many men will simply avail themselves of the sexual abandon of the women while avoiding marriage, fatherhood, and divorce, which in far too many cases today are hellholes for men.

Note that, according to Mapes, the college women, who have bought into feminism complete with sexual license, are not responsible for what's happening. According to Mapes, when there were fewer women than men, women could afford to be choosy. Now that there are fewer men than women, it's not that men are being choosy, it's that women are facing difficulty getting the attention of college men.

Now why wouldn't a man want to marry one of these wonderful, eternal victims?
