Well first day back to class, yes the Christmas vacation seemed like it would never end, but it did. What can I say it was a class, World Politics, teacher was alright students seemed humdrum although it was just the first day so that’s a rash decision. Tomorrow is Research Methods in Political Science so then I’ll get a drift on how both classes are and by the end of the week hopefully I’ll know if I’m back in the college mode. I don’t doubt that I won’t be. I hope all of you are getting back in the college spirit or to put it much better just getting back to college life in general.
Moving on, there’s this new book out by Kate O’Beirne that is called Women Who Make the World Worse: and How the Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports. Take a guess where she stands on feminism, not positively I promise you. In a interview about the book she says that men make up 54% of the workforce, but account for 92% of job-related deaths. Jobs that are flexibile, fullfilling, and safe pay less. She goes on to say that feminists hate it when that happens. She says that its a fable that women are denied equal pay for equal work. Saying that disparities in wages exist between women and children and men and single women. And that this is not sex discrimination, but if that were better understood feminists would have to get real jobs. She talks about in the book that a celebrated feminist dismisses the surveys reporting that married women are happier than single women by attributing their contentment to being “slightly mentally ill.” She continues by saying that the moral intimidation feminists inflict on men means that other women have to take on the modern, destructive women’s movement. Those are just some of the things she goes on to say about the feminist movement and in her eyes is ruining America. I am not a fan of feminism, but then again that’s just me. If you want to know more you can read the book(I haven’t read it), feminists will be sure to hate it beyond belief, but you can still read it.
