    Yenor, an avowed anti-feminist, has spoken previously of career-oriented females being “medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome”, and has called US universities “citadels of gynecocracy”.

    good job, “female” R voters. hope you enjoy your new mandatory role as literally nothing beyond kitchen bitch/ birthing cow

      meddlesome and quarrelsome

      citadels of gynecocracy

      Holy shit, my sides. Stewie Griffin was supposed to talk the way he did for reasons of comedy. It wasn’t supposed to be satire of anything.

        IIRC his voice was modelled after Rex Harrison; specifically his role in My Fair Lady as Henry Higgins. Not quite satire; but both the actor and the character were fairly misogynistic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          My Fair Lady

          Which is a movie from the quite-misogenystic-1960’s, made after a musical from the more-misogenystic-1950, after the even-more-misogenystic 1930’s movie after the 1910’s play that I don’t know anything about, but i’m willing to make a bet…

      US universities “citadels of gynecocracy”

      Uhh… I don’t know about the stats, but universities still seem to be male dominated. Neither the premise nor conclusion makes any sense.

        if you’re in the states, then you need to get rid of the assumption that anything ever needs to make sense to republicans. the premise, support, warrant, conclusion—everything could be 100% wrong/false/irrelevant. it doesn’t matter to them. you can’t have these kinds of discussions with people who plug their ears and scream “fake news” at anything, regardless of how factual, that they don’t want to hear

          Yes, I obviously wouldn’t bring a logical argument against someone like this, but it’s fun to point out logical fallacies in groups like this.

          I get that. My point is that gynecocracy is about people in power, so I was thinking about those in power at the universities (deans and professors), not enrollment. If enrollment is higher, wouldn’t that have more to do with K-12 education (which is female dominated largely due to crappy pay, so won’t likely be a primary breadwinner)?
