TW for rapeToday we have a “daily double” of religious right rape culture-speak. I just posted about the catholic cardinal who blames women’s increased presence in society for the “feminization” of males who then abused children. And now we have this career troll surfacing from her woods to blame women for rape on campus.PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY SAYS TOO MANY WOMEN IN COLLEGE IS DRIVING CAMPUS SEXUAL VIOLENCE“In my more youthful and energetic days, I read and reviewed an entire book co-authored by Phyllis Schlafly, a rather absurd endeavor given that Schlafly’s worldview is hopelessly incoherent, hypocritical, and fantastical, but which left me with an enduring fascination with the career anti-feminist, who is still at it at age 90.In a new article on World Net Daily, Schlafly proposes that the disproportionate number of women at colleges these days is driving sexual assault on campus. “Long ago when I went to college, campuses were about 70 percent male, and until 1970 it was still nearly 60 percent,” she writes. “Today, however, the male percentage has fallen to the low 40s on most campuses.” (Unsurprisingly, given her retrograde beliefs, most of Schlafly’s work leans heavily on “back in my day” reminiscences.) The gender imbalance, Schlafly argues, gives men power to dictate the terms of the social scene, which “results in more casual hook-ups that are dead-end encounters with no future and no real romantic relationships.”This argument isn’t a new one; in fact, the New York Times story called “The New Math on Campus” that she frames her piece around is from 2010 — Schlafly is apparently so stuck in the past, she can’t even be bothered to pull her evidence from the last five years.”Read the full piece hereIn Jezebel: Phyllis Schlafly: College Women Get Raped Because They Go to College -- source link
