Misandry Hidden Deep in Academia

[Pacman7331]

Of all places i've once again found the feminist matrix infiltrate into of all places a chinese 101 workbook I found it odd that one of the audio dialogues has a man and woman talking and the man is laughed at by the woman because he forgets to count himself as his older brother's younger brother. She subsequently laughs at him. All in chinese (even laughter ;-) ). Then there is a question highlighting the man's mistake in the workbook and happens to be the correct answer.

I wondered if it qualified as male bashing and I looked at the website.

The Company is based in Boston Mass. So feminism could easily have taken hold and influenced here. It's strange. The only explanation i've come up with - is that male bashing is so common and accepted - they don't even see it as feminist. It's just apart of the American culture. I doubt this textbook is from China but I could be wrong. Perhaps it's apart of the cultural furniture there as well.

I brushed it off as a fluke, and figured ah just a coincidence. But then on the next page the man is again portrayed as a dumb oaf. She corrects him after asking how many people he has in his family he lists four family members and therefore says he has four members but the woman then corrects him. And says no you have 5. And then there is a question about it in the workbook highlighting the man's mistake.  

It looks as though all of academia has been slanted to the feminist perspective - I noticed this in my spanish textbook class as well. And before that in my US History textbook insulting and objectifying men as "male sexual predators" - Feminism it appears has dominated all aspects of society from A to Z.  

If I find any more aspects such as this any suggestions as what I should do? Should I make this a activism cause? I don't see why not. Perhaps at least make a complaint to the department.

Yea, it's rampant in Academia.  I've already encountered it in Poly Sci this semester and dropped Journalism, because of their obnoxious leftist propaganda.  It's what makes American  colleges and universities hate movements.

Nobody has written about this much... Is there anyone noticing this except me? It's pretty subtle yes... But defiantly there and very consistent. It's amazing to see how subtle and utterly consistent it is. It's like living in a virtual reality. People just sit up there and design this - and all the students are so much like sheep. None of them question it. College is such a complete farce.

I talked a teacher this week about the misandry about the UN only giving food to the women in Haiti. I pointed out it's misandry and he said I was generalizing. Perfect feminist tactic - accuse the victim of oppression of oppression. The fact is the UN made generalizations policy: Misandry - that women are superior to men and therefore should be given food because they won't starve their families while men will. His final point was just to live with it. I couldn't change his mind. Earlier he was praising a feminist author for her pioneering work as class ciriculum.

Thanks for pointing this out Pacman.  It is amazing how misandry is in the drinking water.  No one notices and no one protests, yet if it went the other way and a woman was treated in a similar manner we would have tons of protests from young and old, men and women.  It really is amazing.

Men and women have both been equally oppressed.  When bias in women's studies was first noted, w.s. instrutcor's pointed out that the class was w.s. so the curriculum should be about women, then they lobbied academic administration to have their curriculum integrated into other disciplines, but kept their biases, i.e. "a woman is beaten in America every 15 seconds."  The same study shows a man is beaten every 14 seconds, but that info never shows up anywhere.  I made a button and wear it on campus, in class, etc., that says "My college is hatefully bigoted against men," only I spell out the actual name of my college.  Sexual harassment is in the perception of the harassed.  You are being sexually harassed by misandrist curriculum.  A few semesters ago I filed charges with the office of academic affairs, talked the the department chair, and again this semester I filled paper against another teacher.  If they don't listen I'll go to the EEOC, or some other agency.  So far I've gotten apologies from two different instructors.  On dean tried to push it aside, but I know the ropes as I worked in management at another college.  I've witnessed this hate movement operating for years.

Great stuff MRA!  Have you ever thought about writing up how to file a complaint within the system along with the ideas of typical ways to shut it down?  That would be helpful.  Men have never been taught things like this since we are not expected to complain, only to fix it.  Kick ass!

Nah, never thought about that, Doc.  In fact, I was rather upset that I had to waste my study time to do the paper work to document the abusive instructor and told the administrative V.P.  so.  And yes, it did involve knocking on several doors before anyone would make the effort to deal with the problem instructor.  Even then, they acted like someone was accusing a god of malfeasance.  Early in our conversation the administrative V.P. had the nerve to suggest that I should consider dropping the class and I fired back that he should consider firing the instructor and doing his job, instead of just ignoring valid complaints and letting the abuse go on to other students as has obviously been the case.  "Try fixing the problem instructor, instead of further abusing innocent students," I suggested.  Yeah, we made eye contact on that one.  I was pissed when he said that and he abruptly realized that he didn't have your average, little milk toast student sitting in front of him to bully.  

I got a photocopy of my signed complaint for my records for documentation.  "Document, document, document," is the rule of these government run organizations, when it comes to government employee malfeasance.  It's very hard for any disciplinary action to ever proceed against any malfeasant, government employee, thanks to the strong, government employee unions.

Did I mention that I've gotten apologies from two instructors so far?

When this stuff happens, don't get mad, file formal complaints.

Outstanding.

You can also set up an information table in the free speech area of the campus.  Where I am, it's best to do it on club day, around the Noon hour, when lots of traffic is going through that area.  Wearing a simple button, voicing an opposing viewpoint, can be effective.  It's called "academic freedom."  

I think I've worn all of these on campus at one time or another.

Smile and wave, man, smile and wave.

Unless you really don't need it for credits, go back and take the class.  Nod at their idiot propaganda, regurgitate what they want, collect your A, collect your degree, and move along.

You're now past the gatekeeper.

Then blow the place up from within.

I was literally censored twice, once by a feminist, and once by an apparently feminist male - both students.  I had nothing new to learn from Journalism as a college newspaper reporter.  I didn't get the editorship I'd hoped for so I dropped them like a hot potato. I already had the degree with both options (magazine/newspaper).  Ironically, I had all "A's," in discipline, except for the one class where the female feminist screwed me over and that was a "B."  My GPA is just a squeak under 3.7 overall.  When/if I go back I'll take the Photography class, but I won't have to even try to work for that leftist, newspaper rag to get it.  I'm off into other disciplines, but getting older and tireder by the day so I'm wondering some days what I'm trying to accomplish, since it leaves me little time for productive work/MRA activism.
