Come this fall, students at universities across the United States will be starting their new school year. They’ll attend classes with names like “The Evolution of American Women’s Studies,” “Women & Gender Studies,” or “Feminism and the Fate of the Planet.” In fact, most universities now offer multiple fields of study in feminism, gender, and women’s studies. They have more loony course options about sex and sexuality than math and science.
And in almost every case, those students will be lied to. About the victimization of women at the hands of Republicans. About the God-given differences between men and women. About the importance of the family.
In 1969 Cornell University offered the country’s first accredited “Women’s Studies” course. Now you can earn a Ph.D. in Women’s Studies at more then 16 institutions across the United States. It’s all part of an effort to promote “understanding,” “diversity,” and “tolerance.” And in the process, they’re being shielded from any point of view that dissents from the dogma of radical feminism.
This is where conservative women in America today have a higher calling to educate society. And most importantly, it’s where women of a younger generation have an especially crucial role in debunking this false history, in advancing the truth about the Left and how the real culprits in the War on Women are Democrats and liberals. Boldly stepping up to the plate is one of the Conservative movement’s most well known ladies, Katie Pavlich, and her new book Assault and Flattery.
Like Katie herself, the book title and the words within are sharp, factual, and hard-hitting but with a gloss of feminine polish. Assault and Flattery takes on how the conservative movement has been smeared and falsely accused of taking “sexist” stances on gun control and abortion. Assault and Flattery masterfully documents how the left has twisted the narrative to portray only one side of the story – the side of the story that demonizes members of the GOP.
Just as important, Assault and Flattery gives specific examples of how hypocritical the left is and where Democrat leaders like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are actually the ones most guilty of limiting the role of women in society by treating them as sex-crazed sluts in urgent need of free birth control and government-subsidized abortions. It downgrades the most sacred role of society—that of mother, that of child-rearing -- by making women cheap political props.
The left bases most of their arguments on distortions and manipulated facts. There’s only one antidote: the truth. If you arm yourself with the information found within Pavlich’s latest book, anyone who repeats the left’s tired talking points about the GOP’s War on Women is going to find themselves quickly silenced with the facts.
As jobs that traditionally didn’t require college are increasingly doing so (police, military), these classes should fill up quickly. Nothing useful learned, but in the end you get the paper that entitles you to live on the taxpayers’ dime for decades.
While a PhD can be a great enhancement to one's earning potential, it has to be a PhD in a marketable skill. A PhD with a major in a hard science or math will never be unemployed. A PhD in a soft subject like "Women's Studies" (or almost any sociology) will almost never be employed. So all those "Women's Studies" PhDs out there, after having been taught to be full of hate and resentment, will have plenty of time to stew in their hatred while wishing for employment in a non-existent job.
Feminism does women no favors by characterizing us as uncontrollable sex addicts who would be popping out countless babies if it weren't for abortion. Women actually do have other concerns and interests, and many of us are able to think logically...not that feminists would ever give us credit for that.
THIS is news?
Leftists lie to EVERYONE!!!
Who would hire someone with a degree in ‘women’s studies’? If I was on the interview panel, my thoughts would be that she was a sex discrimination/harassment lawsuit waiting to happen.
The ability to get a PHD in a “study” like Women’s Studies is a prime example of how degraded the universities have become. What do you bet that most of the female skulls full of mush complaining about sexual assault have taken these worthless courses?
Some years ago I was watching a comedy show on the tube, and some comedian asked the audience if any of them were college students and what their majors were. One young woman said Women's Studies. The comedian replied "oh, that's a great field of study." I would have asked the young woman how she felt about wasting many thousands of probably her parents money on such a worthless subject.
Of course, she would know that immediately, and bring a lawsuit for illegal discrimination in hiring...
Actually a PhD in “Women’s Studies” provides employment in teaching at a higher-ed institution or, starting a women’s studies curriculum at a college.
A self-perpetuating nuisance, really.
Katie Pavlich was interviewed on Fox the other day... what a refreshing breath of fresh air she is!
Someone with a PhD in “Women’s Studies” will most likely find employment teaching/preaching same at some university or college.
Yep.
True, that a PhD in “Women’s Studies” would qualify the recipient to teach at a university or college. However, the number of available positions at institutes of higher learning is limited, and any job openings will be flooded with applicants.
I read an article where a woman who got a PhD in some useless social studies major described the PhD as giving her great bragging rights and a nice certificate to hang on the wall, but that was all it gave her.
Ms. Pavlich also gets the blood pumping, given that she is freakin’ HAWT...
And what did you think I meant? “A refreshing breath of fresh air” can mean a lot of things....
