Don’t even get me started on his problematic view of female undergrads: jezebel.com/5865973…

Holly hell! I don’t read Jezebel much (I scan headlines sporadically) and I intentionally skip his posts there. However, as per the link above, I had to check out the post mentioned in the comment. And this is the “gem” that Professor Feminism regales us with:

After nearly twenty years of teaching gender studies at a community college, I’ve got a little saying that elicits knowing smiles whenever I share it around campus: “sisterhood is easier in winter.” I’m referring to the reality that when the weather is cold (or as cold as it gets in Southern California) and my students are in sweaters and jeans, there’s considerably less intra-female hostility in my classrooms than when the weather turns warm.

We certainly cannot stop this individual from identifying as feminist. I mean, not more than we can stop someone like Sarah Palin from doing so. However, I genuinely have to ask: how is a person who obviously has such contempt for women given paid gigs to write at women centered sites? This is almost like a bad joke: HI I AM THE PATRIARCHY, INFILTRATING YOUR POORLY ARTICULATED MOVEMENT.

Additionally, any comment that is critical of his overal ideology at Jezebel either gets greyed out (demoted) or moved to off topic threads. Because obviously the guy needs to be “protected” from critical thinking.


For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
