That is, the madness being caused by a womb not being well used:
The four-week “learning journey” recommends that staff read Me Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism, a book by Alison Phipps, a professor of gender studies at the University of Sussex.
Summarising the book’s central premise, the Oxfam document says white feminists need to ask themselves whether they are causing harm when they fight sexual violence.
It then links to Prof Phipps’s Twitter account and a thread which summarises the main themes of the book, including: “White feminist tears deploy white woundedness, and the sympathy it generates, to hide the harms we perpetuate through white supremacy.”
Not that we could ever do this but an interesting thought. What about if you only ever got to teach grievance studies if you actually had children. Enough so you had at least one of each – that’s two for the hard of thought – and raised them yourself.
There’s a certain thought that actual, long term, exposure to the innate differences would rather explode much of the varied subjects. The people doing the teaching, all this critical thinking, just don’t have much experience of actual human beings.
“The people doing the teaching, all this critical thinking, just don’t have much experience of actual human beings.”
I have a horrible feeling that many of them do, but discount it on the grounds it doesn’t match their theory. That’s the basis of Marxist governments after all.
They’re not entirely wrong. For years right-leaning folk have complained that leftie women like to keep metaphorical pets: the poor, refugees, distant African villagers. These pets are never granted agency: problems just keep happening to them, and it’s up to (white) saviour ladies to feed and water their pets. If it takes a racial angle for them to acknowledge this, that may be no bad thing.
“…white feminists need to ask themselves whether they are causing harm when they fight sexual violence.”
Does this mean the wimmins must lie back and think only of England when abused by some turbaned monster from a different ethnicity? If not they are disrespecting the culture.
Eventually, surely, white people – like, normal white people – have to rise up against this lunacy, because even dullards can surely see it’s going to end in genocide if they don’t?
Interested, it’s much more fun watching all the splinter groups tear themselves to pieces.. 😉
