Women’s Studies Professors Are Freaked-Out That Women’s Studies Might Be Too ‘Vagina-Centric’

Mere weeks after thousands of progressive women wore pink vaginas on their heads and pink vagina costumes and held up signs declaring how powerful they were because they had vaginas – this is what the Cult of Social Justice is complaining about now?

(Here is where I thank the Good Lord Above for giving me enough self-respect and intelligence to never, ever, ever, EVER want to become a progressive feminist.)

According to this, professors of women’s studies are now debating whether their departments have become too “vagina-centric.” And lest you think that this means they miiiiiiight be reconsidering the idea that a woman is nothing more than her ladyparts and that they could be focusing on other aspects of womanhood (and possibly giving conservative women a voice in the movement) – nah. That’s not what’s going on. They’re more worried about transgender women. As in, “women” that were born male and still possess male biology, but believe for one reason or another that they are actually female.

(You may remember a similar argument being made about the Women’s March – that transgender women didn’t feel included because of all the p*ssy imagery. At least they were allowed to march. Pro-life women didn’t even get that far. I guess a dude in a dress is more deserving of being called a “woman” than an actual woman who simply believes that killing unborn babies is wrong.)

This all started because of a panel at the National Women’s Studies Conference (there’s actually such a thing? Sweet mother of mercy…) titled “Pregnancy Without Women.” And, evidently, some feminists were offended because HOW DARE YOU assume that only women can get pregnant!

(Mother Nature was unavailable for comment. Or – more likely – was never consulted.)

Some … objected to the idea of discussing pregnancy without women, and some of those arguments suggested that being a woman should reflect biology alone. Transgender people and those who study them have a wide range of views on gender identity but generally reject the idea of a biologically driven gender binary. And they view those scholars who state such a binary as the only way to look at gender as hostile to the rights of transgender people.

One comment in particular angered trans scholars.

“We don’t need supposedly progressive folks downplaying the importance of women’s reproductive functions at this time. Let us stop this game now. Only women get pregnant and it serves women not at all to pretend this is not true!”

Well, THAT comment lit up a firestorm of transgender activists demanding that supposedly-educated people deny the fact that pregnancy only occurs within female biology. How trans-phobic can you get by pointing out a basic biological process that has been present in nature for MILLENNIA??

Karen Weingarten, associate professor of English at Queens College of the City University of New York, told Inside Higher Ed the “anti-trans response was awful — it was vitriolic, discriminatory and so narrow-minded. Even after several people wrote moving emails sharing their personal experiences and pleading with people to stop posting hateful rhetoric on the Listserv that attacked members’ identities, it didn’t stop. I agree with those who argued that the moderators shouldn’t have allowed such hateful rhetoric to be posted on the list.”

Pointing out simple biology is now “hateful,” huh? And this woman is employed as a professor. She’s considered intelligent and qualified to pass her knowledge onto others.

I can’t even…

So, women’s studies departments are descending into chaos over the very genitalia that feminists treasure so highly (even more than the rest of their bodies). Can’t say I’m surprised. That’s what happens when you consider yourself as nothing more than a simple body part.
