The following link works through some of the
common assumptions made in anti-feminist
declarations - such as feminists are - "man-haters,"
and worse.

The link points out that not only are these
homophobic categorisation of feminists, but are
ahistorical and fundamentally misread the
nature of feminism and the current status of women.

There is nothing here that alters the simple, incontrovertible fact that the few radical feminists remaining are not competitive for other careers and are too complacent and lazy to even try, despite the fact that the world has moved on and left them behind.

They are mainly public bureaucrats, lazy journalists who recycle feminist shock-horror stories, many faked, many trivial, and the damned lazy, irresponsible and arrogant feminist academics who refuse to take any responsibility for the very restricted employment prospects of their trusting, fee-paying students.

Regarding the last mentioned, a university that doesn't keep pace with the competition is going to be found out. Students expect to have relevant, marketable skills and again, they are paying for their education. What about the claimed social research though? What university wouldn't be embarrassed by papers that constantly regurgitate, recycle and claim to build upon 'research' that is known to be sub-standard, shabby and highly speculative?

otb,

Instead of rhetoric - kindly supply
us with evidence please if you want to
have any credibility.

Be specific as to
which feminists you are talking about - give
us some names because there's quite a few in this
country - most of whom are highly respected.
Which universities are
you referring to - and how do you come to know
them. Most women I know have paid
their own way through university, myself included.
And which research are you talking about precisely.
Universities have many faculties and areas of study.
If it's social research - where does your knowledge
come from.

You need to work through your assumptions prior
to posting and back up your anti-feminist declarations
with facts and specific examples. Otherwise you fall
into the trap of homophobic categorisations that make
you appear to have very extreme views and questionable
obsessive behaviour.

Foxy,

You are wasting your burns on a mere messenger.

The market will decide. Students will vote with their feet.

otb,

In other words you don't have the evidence
and it is all merely rhetoric on your part.

BTW: - Asking for evidence in any discussion
is not a "burn," its part and parcel of any
well reasoned and intelligent discussion.

Burns are irrational, illogical generalisations against
entire groups of people - without any evidence being
provided.

As for students voting with their feet?

They will vote allright - but not with their
feet - but with their votes against
government policies regarding education, jobs,
et cetera.
