A Crisis Of Faith

This little tidbit goes a long way towards explaining the unhinged rage of the left these days.
A University of Connecticut professor is calling for a “more expansive inclusion of feminism” by colleges to help female students recognize the oppression they face.

Cristina Mogro-Wilson, who teaches social work at UConn, surveyed 118 students pursuing a Masters in Social Work (MSW) degree and found that the overwhelming majority of respondents—94 percent of whom were women—do not believe that “discrimination and subordination” are “salient issues in women’s lives.”
The women who said that the patriarchy and its oppression weren't a big deal had gone through 5-6 years of indoctrination in a field, many of whose courses were designed for no other purpose than to instill in them the catechism of social justice which is predicated on belief in this oppression.

This is a bigger religious collapse than anything American Catholics are experiencing. At least most of our fallen-away members still believe in God. They just don't come to Mass any more.

As the faithful fall away, the remaining zealots become more zealous and seal off their worlds from heresies to prevent further erosion. That's why we have late-night talk show hosts flipping off Trump voters or saying they don't see a need to talk to them. That's why the NFL players are allowed to kneel, but the Dallas Cowboys couldn't put stickers on their helmets to honor fallen cops. Everything is collapsing in the real world, so the preaching has to become more strident and less tolerant to make up for it.

Well, that's my thinking at least.

  1. A momentary detour from arguement from the reptilian brain and into logic.

    Data says A. Feminist professor says ~A. Now if the data represent reality (i.e., truth), and the professor reasons based on the opposite, then the only logical conclusion is that since you can prove anything, true or false, by starting with a false statement, the professor’s conclusions must be of no value.

    Good thing she’s probably tenured...
