A Feminist Capitalist Professor Under Fire

The students who demand her firing, Camille Paglia argues, take prosperity for granted, are socially undeveloped, and know little about Western history. Who’s Moses?

...

As a teacher of undergraduates, Ms. Paglia despairs at how “bad it is for young people, filled with fears, to be raised in this kind of a climate where personal responsibility isn’t spoken of.” Since her own youth, she says, college students have devolved from rebels into skittish supplicants, petitioning people in authority to protect them from real life. Young adults are encouraged to look for “substitute parent figures on campus, which is what my generation rebelled against in college. We threw that whole ‘in loco parentis’ thing out.”

...

“Everything is so easy now,” Ms. Paglia continues. “The stores are so plentifully supplied. You just go in and buy fruits and vegetables from all over the world.” Undergrads, who’ve studied neither economics nor history, “have a sense that this is the way life has always been. Because they’ve never been exposed to history, they have no idea that these are recent attainments that come from a very specific economic system.”

Capitalism, she continues, has “produced this cornucopia around us. But the young seem to believe in having the government run everything, and that the private companies that are doing things for profit around them, and supplying them with goods, will somehow exist forever.”

...

So why do young women feel victimized? Ms. Paglia cites the near-extinction of “body language” among the young and its impact on sexual relations on campus. The “loss of body language” starts in middle and high school, “where there’s total absorption in social media and projected images on Instagram, and so on. So they don’t know how to read each other, physically.” When they get to college, this social deficiency is exacerbated by the effects of “that stupid law, the National Minimum Drinking Age Act, that was passed in 1984.” It effected a nationwide ban on alcohol sales to adults under 21.

“When I got to college,” Ms. Paglia says, “you could go out for a beer, you could talk with a drink in a public place, in an adult environment.” That’s how 18-year-olds away from home for the first time learned the “art of conversation, of looking at each other, reading facial expressions and body language.” After the ban on drinking, “instead of a nice group of people conversing and flirting, you got the keg parties at fraternities on campus, this horrible environment where women milled about with men in this huge amount of noise, with people chugging beers down.”

So last night was a 7 hour long Democratic Presidential Town Hall last night on the topic of climate change.

As you may have guessed, it was full of grandstanding, pandering, promises of bans, promises of free stuff, and absurd policies.

Unfortunately, I can't post multiple video clips on a single post, so I'll start with this gem.

Bernie Sanders was asked about overpopulation, and his response is rather alarming.

Sanders wishes to leave the Mexico City agreement (which bans foreign aid for abortions), so that poor people around the world can get abortions.

There's a lot to take from this small clip.

First, this woman asking the question is a teacher. The phrasing of the question makes her sound like an alarmist. Are these the types of people teaching our kids?

Second, the US should NOT be giving foreign aid to organizations that provide abortions. These are tax payer dollars going towards the murder of children in other parts of the world.

Third, it's odd how he emphasised population control for poor/third world countries. Sanders believes a solution to climate change is to fund abortions to the poor around the world.

Sanders and his ilk's belief that abortion will help climate change sounds eerily familiar with cultures like the Mayans sacrificing humans to their god's for favourable weather.

Their vile beliefs are finally coming to light.
