Feminists Secretly Abolish Male Service Provider at UK University
MCP
By Robert Franklin, Esq.
I've written before about ideological feminism's general antipathy for
democracy. We saw it in the Hiram Monserrate case. There the New York
State Senator was accused (and ultimately convicted) of assaulting his
girlfriend. But long before he ever came to trial, and therefore still
presumed innocent at least by some, the New York State chapter of NOW was
calling for him to be removed from the Senate, not by voters, but by his
peers.
We saw it when Senator Ted Kennedy died. Many feminists, like Maureen Dowd
at the New York Times, demanded that Caroline Kennedy be named to replace
him even though she (a) didn't want the job and (b) by the standards of
Democratic Party politics wasn't entitled to it.
Most egregiously, we see it in the feminist claim that there is a "glass
ceiling" in politics. According to them, the fact that there aren't more
women in politics is proof that, in some unspecified (and to me
incomprehensible) way, the electoral process must be unfair to women. This
they claim despite the fact that women have had the vote for over three
generations and vote in greater numbers than do men. Somehow, to certain
feminists, that all adds up to some mysterious form of discrimination
against women. You figure it out; I can't.
Well, here's another one. We know that, within the past few months, at the
University of Chicago, the University of Manchester and Oxford University,
student organizations have been established to better understand men and
masculinity. In each case, feminists have been outraged and gone to some
fairly debased lengths to try and stop the groups from getting university
recognition.
But now it turns out that at Hull University in the U.K. they've gone a step
further. It seems that the Student's Union there (and at 12 other
universities in the country), until recently had a Men's Officer. It also
seems to have a Women's Officer. In any event, there was a move to abolish
the position of Men's Officer, even though there had been a campus-wide
referendum on the position in 2007 and male and female students alike had
voted to retain it.
But what did they know. The Executive Committee of the Student Union simply
met in secret during the summer recess and did what the students didn't want
done - abolished the position of Men's Officer.
Here's an article describing what happened that concludes with this:
What it says clearly is that the anti-male feminists like those at Hull
University will stop at nothing, even by using sneaky unconstitutional means
to attack men and service provision for them.
The decision is bad enough but the manner of it says all you need to
know.
It says that the feminist-dominated Executive Committee doesn't buy into the
concept of democracy. But we knew that.
