"Indoctrinaire hate mills"?!
Try doctrinaire, dude. The verb form is indoctrinate. Get it? I think you're a little confused.
Probably that's due to you being off your meds, again. So please, take your pretty little pills, get a lot of sleep, and STFU. Then come back when you can make a reasonable, and not laughable argument. Mmm-kay?

I have a problem with part of this article
And if being a feminist doesn't lead to a job, doesn't that suggest that society is still perhaps just a wee bit patriarchal?
Actually, two problems, with this particular sentence. First, the quoted anti-feminist didn't claim that being a feminist doesn't lead to a job. She claimed that having a degree in women's studies didn't lead to a job. Surely you don't mean to claim that one must have a women's studies degree to be a feminist.
Also, I don't think the idea that society is still patriarchal logically follows from the fact that a women's studies degree (or other feminist credentials) doesn't lead to a job. It seems to me that Ms. Summers' thesis follows just as well: that the battle for equality has already been won, and therefore, there's no need to employ someone to work on feminist issues.
This is not to say that I believe patriarchy has actually been overcome - I don't. But I believe your logic is faulty.

The the Feminist Hate Mill teach you that?
Did it teach you to pick at a critic's words to try to dismiss that critic's whole argument?
Did it teach you to imply that the critic was formerly, now off, some sort of meds?
Did Hate Mill teach you that this is not the way to discuss issues if you want to be taken seriously as a person?
You can hate on me all you want, YOUR SIDE IS CREATING ITS OWN IRRELEVANCE every time you take nonsense ad hominem stabs at your critics.
I merely described the situation as honestly as I could, you can ignore REALITY all you want. Really, it is SO female to ignore reality and to craft your own fantasy version in which you can stand to continue living.
Nobody takes feminist studies or women seriously FOR A REASON. Which was explained in the article and in the responses. No amount of hating me or anyone else will alter this reality.
So you can continue to roil in your fantasy world or you can come to the reality the rest of us inhabit. My guess is you will continue to hate irrationally then trash those who throw back hate in return for being victimized by feminism.

@Confucius
No argument here. Between the PC left wingnuts like the gender feminists trying to put quotas in place and the right wing nuts dismantling decades of science education, science education in America is taking a beating. Sad.

Brightstar is enraged! He's not going to take it anymore!!
Wow, dude, what a prissy little rant! Simply delicious. Now it appears that you need to add a bit of tranquilizer to your daily regimen of meds, to control your ridiculously explosive temper. There's nothing I'd like more than to stick a hypodermic filled with ketamine right into your undoubtedly pallid and flabby ass, but unfortunately for me that must remain in the realm of fantasy for now.
I'm sorry that you think it's nit-picky of me to criticize your creation of a new and totally unnecessary word, indoctrinaire. However, I happen to love the English language and it bothers me to see it being abused, especially in one of your tiresome screeds.
Why do you assume I'm female from my last post? I assure you that I own a penis, albeit a far larger one than your own. I can also assure you that I know how to use it better than you do. My partners' orgasms are not fake, in other words.
Why do you also assume that I'm some radical, leftist, gender feminist cut from the Dworkin cloth, who absorbed a man-hating agenda from a Women's Studies "hate mill" on some pinko campus somewhere? I have my own criticisms of some aspects of radical feminism and campus WS programs, too, but I know how to express them logically and meaningfully and with far greater subtlety and nuance than you could ever hope to muster.
On occasion (RARE occasion) you make a valid point, but most of your posts consist of little more than rambling paragraphs filled with bilious garbage. I'd have cut a normal letter writer more slack for the "indoctrinaire" lapse, but not you, you pathetic, shrivelled little wiener.

Nice
I write as I please. I do not feel it necessary to dignify feminism by writing in heady lofty prose. Nor do I feel I need to be polite or nice.
Call it hardheaded. Call it rude. Call it ignorant.
Regardless of whether I have written nicely or rudely in the past, because the content of what I wrote was not pleasing to the feminists, they almost universally responded not by countering my arguments, but by lofting ad hominems at me.
Why would anyone want to dignify such a wastrel pathological propaganda scam campaign as modern feminism by responding with serious writing? If feminists want to muddy the waters, so can I.
I am sorry that you agree with the man hating feminists. They are has beens. have fun.

predictable...(not his fists).
When My boyfriend and I spit 2 days ago....a relationship of 11 months. He began to attack me with words I would only expect to come from a sexists mouth. I was attacked unfairly and when I attacked back was hit with 10 times more anger then I displaced. It was not all verbal.
Now I carry around an uncertain feeling in my belly, and will continue to carry it until the words are forgotten.
Maybe instead of women's studies in college, they should teach women's defense.
Now...there's a class that would prove more useful.

I predict that as I am alone, now, for having feminist feelings and defending myself....you are alone(or gay, and thats not ment to offend you...I'm just trying to hit the target.) for your sexist feelings.
I imagine you, not all too unlike myself...bitter, behind your monitor, throwing your anger into a keyboard. Just as I do...only my frustrated hands shaking, itching to fly off the qwerty and grab another smoke.
So I can stand alone outside and let the bitter angry voices run and run and run like a skipping record.
You're not alone....
You just group us...and that is frustrating...because I don't hate men...and I don't blame them for my problems...I blame myself...and my stupid insignificant little life.
