Feminism Gone Nuts

At Bucknell University, we see another example of feminism gone nuts. Dr. Mike Adams describes the situation:

On March 8, Bucknell's so-called Feminist Majority - along with groups like
the Women’s and Gender Studies Department, the Center for the Study of Race,
Gender, and Ethnicity, and the Office of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Awareness - paid $1,920 for a strip show at Bucknell.

Billed as a "celebration of whore culture" the show was euphemistically titled the "Sex Workers Art Show." It featured a group of hookers, phone sex operators, smut writers, porn stars, and one woman who appeared via her 24-hour porn website.

Yeesh. Take it to a strip club.

The campus's Conservatives Club was understandably vexed. However, more maddening was the response of Bucknell’s Women and Gender Studies Department to the Conservatives Club's previous overtures of joint sponsorship of a talk by Dr. Christina Hoff Sommers, author of “Who Stole Feminism?”

Dear Dominic,
The reasons behind our not wishing to co-sponsor the Hoff Sommers event are not only financial. Several of the members of the Board had serious concerns about the intellectual integrity of her work and did not think that the Program should endorse her talk.

Maybe we can work together in the future to find speakers we would both agree on.

Thanks,

Since when do hookers and phone sex operators have more intellectual integrity than a well-recognized, New York Times best selling author with a PhD? Can there ever be agreement between campus conservatives who seek principled, serious, and educated speakers and a women's studies department gone off the rails, promoting the objectification of women? Sure. When little devils go ice skating right outside their front doors.
