My colleague Heather Mac Donald has published a provocative new essay in City Journal, titled “The Great Feminization of the American University.” Mac Donald points out that women now constitute the ruling majority on campus: 75 percent of Ivy League presidents, 66 percent of college administrators, and 58 percent of recent graduates are now female.
And the consequences, Mac Donald argues, are troubling. “Female students and administrators often exist in a co-dependent relationship, united by the concepts of victim identity and of trauma,” she writes. “For university females, there is not, apparently, strength in numbers. The more females’ ranks increase, the more we hear about a mass nervous breakdown on campus.”
In my new video essay, I analyze this cultural shift and explain how the modern university has become a “therapeutic institution,” characterized by the following trends:
-The left-wing victim narrative has moved from an economic axis to a psychological axis, with “traumatizer” and “traumatized” replacing “oppressed” and “oppressed.”
-Individual pathology is valorized as a form of marginalized identity.
-This new social system incentivizes trauma, disorder, and emotional displays.
-The university has created a therapeutic bureaucracy that operates on political ideology.

When I went to university in the 1980’s there was a Women’s Studies department. Now the entire university is a Women’s Studies department.
AMEN 🙏 PRAISE RHE LORD JESUS CHRISR FOR WHEN HE COMES BACK HE WILL ELIMINATE ALL WOMEN STUDIES PLEASE LORD TRUMP SAVE AMERICA AND MY AMERICAN UNIVERSITY THAT REPRESRNTS RHE AMERICAN FRONTIER 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Entire world is now women's...
We optimized the universities for the female student and male students opted out. We have grossly overvalued higher education.
@@darbyheavey406 And as my mother often tells me: "The world has grossly overvalued women. Period. The End!"
In NZ, the problems are huge at the high school level where attendance has collapsed by an astonishing amount. The permissiveness of a female-dominated school is matched with the permissiveness of solo mums excusing their kids' reasons for skipping class.
Any signs of improvement? At the school level: they might be half-aware of the issue of so few male teachers, but can't define the wanted masculine characteristics that men bring to the role. The narrative has only been able to identify the negatives. Men don't want to run the risk of being accused of being a child molester. No signs of improvement there.
At the solo mum level, the trends continue in the direction of fatherlessness, and the government parties only ever argue over how much each is prepared to give to support solo parents, which, although it might support them in the now, only continues to disincentivize co-parenting.
It's not looking good over here folks!
At least Stalinda's gone, Chin up!
@@offshoretomorrow3346 lol thanks. Can you come up with a Commified name for Hipkins?
Watch our with Maorama Zedong and the green Māori party, she is making so much communist noise.
The Karenification of American Universities
Ha, true also.
Wrong. The Karenification of American society.
Except the American university system has always been run by conservative think-tanks and billionaire investors...especially the Ivy League, of which Mr. Rufo is a member.
@@daffidkane8350 wrong, “‘Karen” is an insult to white women. You’re being trashed by the entire LGBTQ blah blah blah armies.
I hate to say it, but the NCF former president and provost even *looked* like Karens. OK, that was mean. Now I'll have to go to Confession. And apologize to my friends and relatives named Karen.
Keep this content coming Chris! The grievance/ victim culture infecting higher ed institutions is noticeably deteriorating American culture/society.
i’m pretty sure that’s the goal
I will go out on a limb, as a leftist myself, and say that there is *sometimes*, some of that victim posturing among women who are feminists and some minority individuals in colleges, universities, the career world, even government...BUT, as a liberal, as a progressive, I also think that, these women (and minorities and gays, and disabled, etc) have legit issues and complaints and grievances, about very real and very deep systemic wrongs.
Yes, okay, sometimes there also tends to be this habit to make EVERYTHING about grievances and constant focus on how oppressed their group is (at the expense of everything else) and that strengthens an already existing, understandable, righteous anger and resentment...to where people see others as ONLY their enemy and oppressor.
At least, that is what I think that I see sometimes. So I can agree with you that happens - again, *sometimes*- but not to the extent that your side makes it out to be. And again, I'll disagree with you that their grievances aren't often real.
This is just because people are...people....we aren't perfect. We make mistakes.
BUT...
What I ALSO see, is that the RESPONSE to this, from the Right, from people like yourself, Jordan Peterson...is to decry YOURSELVES as the REAL VICTIM. You becomes that which you claim to hate. (And maybe a lot of that projection was going on from the start, where is why you saw in you opponents, what you yourself are and do. The right is good at that.)
And this response to paint *yourself* as the victim, is not just a response to this victim card flashing from the other side...but this seems to just be your reaction to women and minorities and gay and trans and disabled and non-neurotypical people EXISTING AT ALL on what you see and *your* space. Like you OWN these colleges and jobs and governmental positions and even Hollywood acting roles.
What I see from the right, when you attempt to talk about the modern changing roles of women and minorities and the LGBTQ+ and the disabled and neuro-atypical in modern life, is that you all become a bunch of whiney men bitching about how unfair everything is now that they have to share their toys with women (and minorities, gays and trans, the disabled, etc). How *unfair* it is that these different types of people are now taking what you have always believed was *yours*. Your jobs, your colleges and universities, your government jobs, your *acting roles*.
It's an entitlement culture.
Who was it that said "To the oppressor, equality feels like oppression."
@@thethirdchimpanzee no, they don't have legitimate grievances
@@thethirdchimpanzee Silly male feminist
You hit the nail on the head here..everything these days is about psychological safety.
*psychological paranoia
But that 'safety' is to protect an ideology constructed from 99% bull****: 'sensitivity' is the Trojan Horse.
There is no such thing.
I have been absolutely baffled at NCF about these claims of “endangerment” or “harm” supposedly inflicted on the students by the mere presence of differing opinions. As an example, I’ve been told that I’m “literally” exposing fellow students to imminent bodily harm by simply speaking against their hysterical claims and pointing out their own behavior. I gave a Trustee a tour today and was told afterwards that it might be seen as an attempt to provoke and that the students or professors*might* be dealing with anything from death threats to personal trauma and that that should be respected--despite the fact that the only reported death threat on campus in months has been the one directed against this very same trustee!
I think you hit the nail on the head!
Yeah all this victim culture makes me want to bring back real bullying. None of these crybullies would think about more schooling afterward if they even survived high school.
What you describe is simply a verbal ju-jitsu move designed to shut you up. After all, if your speech is causing harm to another, you, as a decent person, don't want to cause harm to another and so logic dictates you cease expressing your views.
What's astounding is that anyone ever fell for it, never mind the trans-cultural domino effect.
@@offshoretomorrow3346 their time is up. And I think Rufo is largely to thank for this!
Yikes, how can you stand being in that toxic environment?
It’s not just universities. I think every level of American education has had its administration feminized. It’s amazing to me how much talking there is in meetings and how much Pearl clutching there is and how little interest there seems to be in solving problems.
Riiiight, amazing how one person can have SO much experience at so many management meetings.
I'll cancel yours out, every damn time our tech team planned a network install, the manager, a man, would show up and hold a four hour meeting for us to explain to him what we were going to do so that it looked like his idea so he could brag about what a good job he'd done.
The women I know waste FAR less time and ALWAYS complain about the men endlessly talking in meetings for no constructive purpose.
@@mikearchibald744 how many women are in your tech meetings? Education is 70-85% female my guess is your profession is 70-95% male so yeah the females drawn to tech will be different.
@@selim.digital No, the females 'drawn' to tech are not different, females IN tech might be different, just like females in lots of industries are different.
Numerous studies point out that women work far more democratic than men. Thats even in male dominated industries, but obviously not where women are the minority or simply can't work that way.
Thats the real fear of them getting into executive positions because its changing the ways corporations operate. My point is that its for the better, because that 'democratization' affects how men work as well.
So again in tech you see the growth of what are called 'scrums', these are tech projects which have NO management oversight. Traditionally there was a 'team leader' who was responsiible for evertying, but industry is finding out that these people simply aren't necessary.
I even have female friends at the EXECUTIVE level who take notes for meetings because the men whine so incessantly about it, or else do such a piss poor job that its 'just easier'.
So IF by 'feminization' you mean 'more democratic' and less hierarchical then I think thats likely true. To me thats a GOOD thing, but to a lot of guys rigid hierarchies are what they are used to and what they see as 'normal', because if THAT hierarchy goes, then of course ALL hierarchies could go. Again, to me thats a good thing, but I'd argue it has little to do with feminization UNLESS you admit outrightly that there IS something called 'the patriarchy' and that 'maleness' is related to hierarchal and rigid power structures.
@@mikearchibald744 interesting. I’ll take your word for it since I don’t work in tech. I know what I see in education.
@@selim.digital Then you kind of missed my point. What you've seen in education is administrations that are finally taking SOME of the conserns of students seriously.
Its well known, I think I said but I'll repeat, that administrations were SO bad that they'd hush up rapes on campus, and allowed professors who were frankly just psychotic to operate unhindered becaues 'they brought in cache'.
So YOU call that 'feminization', I don't. Its just 'not being really shitty'.
This is something that would be studied and taught in a "Gender Studies" department if it were a legitimate field rather than an activist ideology field.
👍🏽
If gender studies were "legitimate," they'd still be teaching home economics to female undergrads.
True
This was caused by the education system’s anti male bias and structure. Students who were less willing to do busy work or more skeptical of what they are thought, or unwilling to sit still, which was mostly boys, did worse in education and were pushed away by it. Add onto that billions more in financial aid for women.
This is also the source of wokeness/cancel culture and why it won’t end. Institutions and corporations hire from universities, and that is causing a woke middle management and bureaucracy to take hold of society.
This is going to make everything crash to the ground. I hate it.
DONT GIVE THESE INSITTUIONS UR MONEY! STOP TELLING KIDS TO GO TO COLLEGE! I did extra school and feel like my masters actually works against me when applying for some jobs because I want to be so far from working with ideas and ideologues now.
Most philosophers were right when they said women shouldn’t be educated
Sad facts.
Corporate work is glorified adult day care. It's demeaning and embarrassing. The gossip is toxic.
@@progskep Based.
And 💯% true.
I've got two brothers who are the most Conservative SOBs you'll ever meet (as are their wives). Without question, Right-wing, Christian values were taught in those homes. And yet, both have produced at least one daughter who have become increasingly lost in the Woke movement. How does this happen?
Well, it's because parents these days, have become employees of their children. They are event coordinators and entertainment managers-- in the business of keeping their kids happy, active, engaged and stimulated. The day my Dad dropped me off at university was literally the last time either of my parents set foot on my college campus in the 4 years I attended. I'm not even sure they could tell you what college I went to, 20 years later. And yet, today... as Chris pointed out... there are parents who rent apartments off campus just to continue running their kid's lives.
Here's the thing: Employers dont look up to their employees. The CEO of your company doesnt seek advise or value the opinion of the night-shift cleaning crew. And that's what parents have become-- even the Conservative ones. They're just the 'help...' the poor miserable slobs in business to keep their kids happy and stimulated 24/7. And, moreover, the whole relationship is based in fear. FEAR that their kids might NOT get what they want.
Why do my Conservative brothers send their daughters to Liberal Arts Colleges they KNOW will stuff their brains with Leftist garbage? Because they're afraid. They're afraid that if they dont pay $80,000 for their daughter's sociology degree... she's not going to have the 'college experience' she always wanted... and will resent her parents for the rest of her life.
Well, here's the thing. She already resents you... because instead of having parents to respect and admire, she got a couple of errand-boy bitches.
let's just admit that women are just too easy to manipulate with leftist agenda
@@galath9242Yes, woman are stupid
You want to make people crazy, tell them things like this that Mr. Rufo is saying, which is obvious to the eyes if you throw off the lenses of the left. Towards the end of covid, I told a friend of mine, that our society was listening overwhelmingly to the female mothering voice. "Don't go out, you have to be careful, I don't want you to get hurt, stay safe." I told him we needed to introduce the male Fatherly voice, "We can't be scared forever, we must go out and live and work again." You would have thought I was teaching fascism, to say something like that. It was true nonetheless, and I stand by it.
“Who Dares Wins” is the motto of the British SAS, some of the men who actually fought to remove Fascism from Europe. (To crib a line from Whit Stillman’s _Barcellona_.)
Yes Lunar Gynocratic Safetyism (the Longhouse) is a big problem we need both solar & lunar energy ☯️
The university I attended was the most difficult state university to get into. I felt enabled by the fact that I knew I would receive a comprehensive background in a competitive environment. Today, that same college has a separate commissary for black people and wastes time with sexual orientation workshops and making bracelets to help signal your personal “orientation.” Some classes offered no presentations regarding the syllabus and stultifying content without reading assignments or tests. My granddaughter’s university experience (where her great grandmother and grandmother attended), was a big disappointment to our whole family.
Dude ..rufo I send prayers over your continued work and protection..
Oh my goodness. When you talked about the mothers who were protesting on behalf of their college-aged children, it reminded me of when I received a call from an employee's mother regarding concerns about their manager. This employee was in their 20's. First time I saw this in my career, but perhaps not the last (sadly).
Wonderful explanation and I look forward to reading the article by Heather Mac Donald. She is fabulous!
"... are creating a conflict that can't be resolved at the individual's level " thereby amplifing the need for the collective to step in. -- brilliantly said!
I was just thinking...these individuals haven't felt REAL collective trauma, yet.
WW3, here we come! 🥳
Bravery, courage, hard work, competence were pathologized. Now there is a divergence between what women want and what they think they want.
The 'fairer' sex became the unfair sex--
that was coming over a 50-year period.
But it was intact even when I was at Harvard Grad School, 1982-85.
This is fantastic, Chris. I have been disturbed at how the issues we are experiencing now are being blamed on women (use of the word Karen as a slur for example)vs what I see as "toxic femininity." What we are experiencing is a perversion of the best female traits, the inverse to the toxic masculinity that does not help society either. I agree with your argument here along with Heather McDonald. I see some commentators and pundits saying things like women have caused transgenderism and it is our fault completely, etc. All of this messed up dynamic cannot be laid at the feet of women as a sex class. In my work, when I stood up against transgender ideology and said, "NO," I was also punished, despite being the woman in the room. It was young men who were cancelling me. I was the strong parent figure in this particular dynamic and these college age wokesters could not handle it. The traditionally feminine and masculine traits have been pathologized and perverted. Yes, this is mass co-dependence! I agree we need BALANCE in every part of society, starting with the family.
Well, I thought that comment started off very welly but degraded. I think you outed yourself when you say "I was the strong parent figure in this dynamic". Well, thats KIND of the point of what is going on now, is getting rid of people who want to be the 'strong parent figure'. If you have kids, you get to be the parent, its the law. Outside of that, no thanks, we get enough lecturing from idiot politicians and idiot billionaires and idiots with economic power but no real intellectual ability.
So what your comment sounds like "Dammit, I was the fascist in this room and those bastards took me down to their level". Which of course is the POINT, but people in power don't especially like to lose power.
The problem is the same problem we had before under capitalism. The power structure. Now that power structure is changing so those with power don't like it. Thats understandable, but its also the point. Now, if we DIDN"T have that authority structure we wouldn't have people 'cancelled', unless of course they can't be reasoned with.
People talk like there is some kind of agenda, when what it is is people simply trying to be respected for what they are. That means in an organization you need policies. So for example, in public I've never met a transexual person who gave a shit. As long as you aren't BOTHERING them or talking mean, thats it. In an organization EVERYTHING is different.
So for example it USED to be like the military and in an organization if the boss hit on you or made you uncomfortable, there was little you could do. Small businesses are STILL like that, but the fact is, in a large organization that behaviour is not permitted.
I've also met some transexual persons who go out of their way just to be jerks. They will try to engage you just waiting for a 'aha' moment when you don't know the right language or something. That is rare, and those people quickly find out that people are ignoring them, Then they will complain that people are ignoring them due to their identity, and you have a meeting and they find out what its about. Thats how NORMAL people react to problems, dare I say thats how WOMEN react. As a man the first instinct is the priveleged one "I'll call you what I damn well please". Well, no, thats not an option anymore and it SHOULDNT be an option anymore, so people just have to deal with it, and LOTS have trouble doing that. Usually the younger they are the less so.
it all began with women's suffrage. So yes, your fault
Ive felt this feminist dominance in these university positions .
Great to hear your breakdown , Chris .
The brainwash has been for decades
I think this has more to do with the rise of psychotherapy culture in the US than "feminization". The rise of psychology's prominence in US culture in general since the 60s has encouraged a victim culture where we naval gaze over our brokenness or "trauma" and its origins rather than problem solve. The rise of Clinical psychology is unrelated to women's campus presence.
I am soo glad there were were more male teachers and students. I was able to meet men who looked out for me and still so.
Almost all the male teachers I had looked out for female students a little TOO much. The female teachers I had were very capable and taught me well. They weren't there to 'look out for me', they weren't babysitters. So I think you may be sayign a little more than you think.
@@mikearchibald744 The female teachers also looked out for you a little TOO much. But one thing is certain, YOUR female teachers didn't teach you how to read.
This is an amazing insight. Thank you.
Your best work to date Chris. So much thanks man. Please keep up the good work. Question to ponder: we used to have men and womens colleges, clearly womens' colleges were not like that back then, so what happened?
Very good question Gabby.
At least some were seminaries. They had strong Christian values back then. They weren't submerged in socialist propaganda like this
The sexual revolution and second wave feminism happened. Females are no longer seen as needing to be protected by society but we still have natural, visceral modesty, hence "consent" and "rape culture." Girls used to be protected by their fathers and parents taught their boys to be gentlemen. That is almost 100% over.
And the leaders refuse to lead. I went to New College and there is zero wisdom transmitted to students. It was academically rigorous when I was there but you must find your own morals, life structure & priorities.
Looking at a 30s yearbook from a women's college in Maryland over the weekend, I saw that every aspect of the girls lives was devoted to preparing them for their future. Every single girl looked elegant and lovely. They learned everything from Chemistry to cooking. After lunch they practiced their dancing and held tea parties in their club houses teaching them how to get graceful hosts & friends.
That was nearly 100 years ago when the expectation was to marry and have a family. Their education was in line with their natural proclivities. Today we have the opposite. The whorification of the American girl is nearly complete. Fathers ain't on the porch with a shot gun if a guy brings his daughter home late. She knows she'll probably have to earn a living and possibly even support her husband even after having kids.
Plus, there is zero "keep calm and carry on" approach even offered in any school I America. It's a country of therapists who pathologize the human experience.
All we need to do is realign with norms. It's pretty basic.
@@carolyna.869 Men, for whatever reason, have definitely stepped away, and whiile I argue that 'some' of the reasons are legitimate, the bottom line is clocks stop working when you start removing the parts.
The American University, as well as society in general, is collapsing. Hold on, it's gonna be a rough ride.
As a therapist, I agree with everything you said. We are cultivating a mentally I’ll society.
Many men who've tried to parent alongside a woman can see the connection between that experience and what this guy is talking about.
Too much estrogen, LOL! That's partly why both of my sons turned down their admissions offers from UNC Chapel Hill -- it's 60% female for goodness' sakes! Sure, this unbalanced ratio could be appealing to guys who like girls, but...nah. Too weird, for all the reasons you mention.
On another note: I attended New College from 1969 to 1974, with time off for bad behavior. It was VERY different back then. Yes, it was Hippie U. But it was not female-dominated, much less LGBT-dominated.
I'm surprised to see Rufo talking about the longhouse. It's a real deep cut of dissident thought.
He's taking those ideas, sanitising them, making them toothless and putting them into the centre
Similar issues in Britain where the overall percentage of male school teachers is 25%, the percentage of male school teachers up to year 6/grade 6 is 15%, the percentage of male university students has declined over the past 40 years to roughly 40%. As an aside, the percentage of male social workers is around 15%.
*NOBODY* is talking about these issues in the mainstream media.
Victims turn me off, always have. I've always been expected to solve my own problems. Which have been more than a few simply being left-handed. I also have a tendency to question more than most will tolerate. This has put me entirely outside of academia. Thanks to libraries and the internet that's fine I can accept I'll never have a degree or academic acceptance. But I can get my questions answered. 😊
It's interesting (and frightening) to see in action the mechanics of weak men making hard times. As men get weak, women rise and take their places as leaders, causing a societal collapse into the hard times which require men to be strong again.
The problem is that woman's compassion is there primarily for the protection of the infant. If this spills over towards young adults then they will become infantalised.
Wmns compassion is often fake - it's how they compete, under the guise of compassion & care
It is often fake. Women can be ruthless and downright evil. Cruel, petty, irrational.
female's compassion is a myth
You know, mass female hysteria has happened before …. in the Victorian age, saw this coming 20yrs ago.
Fem Hysteria a constant not a blip
I did, too.
You're really good at framing things, with the exception being the framing of camera 2.
Increase the nose room on that camera.
Another excellent presentation, Chris!
Terrific discourse. Thank you. This morning I read an excellent article by Diana S. Fleischman, - Why Do Women Online Blow Relationship Issues Out Of Proportion?. Fleischman is an evolutionary psychologist who writes of the propensity for women, particularly in online forums, to trade emotional support with other women who complain about their boyfriends and husbands, and that this often results in a harsh, punitive and disproportionate analysis of the situation. The viewpoint in this article seems congruent with the way institutions of higher learning are becoming disproportionately female with regard to staff members. The tendency for women to support each other 'emotionally' at the cost of rationality and fairness may be one of the factors leading to the rise in neuroticism in the female student body.
When I was young, and neurotic and in various forms of therapy there was a golden rule whereby the therapist did not 'indulge' the patient or collude with him/her in their emotional life. The emphasis was always on the need for the patient to take responsibility for their own lives by analysing their own attitudes and thought process. It would not surprise me if the DSM is living on borrowed time since it constitutes a (quasi) scientific standard against which mental health is measured. It won't be long before the DSM is judged to be the product of old white men and a symbol of the tyrannical patriarchy.

Good stuff bro , i appreciate the perspective. You dropped some good insight .. 💪🏼
Thanks for the article.
I knew we were screwed when I came upon some psychology students in the quad doing an assigment where they asked kids to pin push-pins on areas of campus where they had experienced "trauma."
I was confused. Why did this thing look like a pin-cushion? There couldnt be this much trauma on such a safe campus could there? Turns out that according to psychology, anything that negatively effects your feelings and leaves an impact on your psyche is "trauma."
It was ludicrous to see students with anxiety over coming to class lavel what they felt "trauma."
Why? Because I had felt the same thing my first years in school, and it was only when I brute-force pushed the anxiety down that things improved.
Psychology has lost the plot.
Labeling minor anxieties "trauma" only excentuates them. Facing your fears destroys them.
No, you just saw either a shitty class or a shitty teacher. Psychology is taught in the first year using definitions from the American Psycholoigical Association, thats accredited textbook definitions. And trauma certainly is not defined as 'anxiety' or 'where you felt uncomfortable'.
You obviously stumbled across some first year students who were idiots who had not yet learned any better, adn now you associate it with the whole faculty, which is almost as naive as what they were doing.
But I'm suspecting that you didn't attend much psychology becuaes 'brute force' pushing most certainly is not how you deal with anxieties OR trauma, it is that attempt that causes PEOPLE to lose the plot. Facing your fears sounds like a meme or an Oprah show. Psychology is the most complex study in the social sciences as the brain is largely still a mystery, but your comment was as bad as how they were executing their 'assignment', which, frankly I have a little trouble believing because something like 'marking on a pin cushion where you felt anxiety' sounds more like an elementary school assignment than a college level course.
Excellent presentation.
Glad to see Lomez’s Longhouse more known.

It is not just now majority female… it is specifically Leftist/Democrat female. We need not only more men, we need more conservative women.

I think I only had one female professor during my undergraduate degree. One during my MBA, and one when I went back for second undergraduate. Even in High School I can only recall 2 female instructors.
This is so interesting it all feels a bit overprotective mother gone mad . Daddy needs to come back home and balance out the house.
Excellent!
This prioritizes weakness, mediocrity, neurosis and failure.
Great signals, pointed out for sure 👏
Well said!
Woke is a rigid Caste System.
No matter how traumatic life experienced by a person, it is only given as much weight as the caste hierarchy defines.
It might not be malice but it most certainly is arrogance combined with ignorance.
Arrogance + ignorance led by thought leaders who are motivated by malice
This is so good.
Awesome content. And very brave. Having common sense has become bravery.
This is nailing it way more than the Lindsyesque post-modern dissections.
You're doing gods work my friend.
Were did you get that "longhouse" idea? SOURCES!! ;p
Equity demands a perfection that doesn't exist, equality demands an effort not everybody has. It's not the end of history that we much achieve but a creative expansion of that which is real, which is love, which is truth, which is reality.
If you're not allowed to make mistakes, you're not allowed to learn.
So what exactly have our bureaucrats and politicians learned from all the mistakes over the last 50-60 years?
Thanks Chris for your description of a culture out of balance.
Hard to digest but Public Schools and Universities are the most dangerous place for young people to be in.
The Tavistock Institute which is a British psychological warfare and human relations unit that begun during the second World War has a lot to do with all this too. Some say they are still using psychological tactics to control and direct public thinking today. This organization applies social science to contemporary issues and challenges. This UK Institute researched ways to mind control the British and the world population without them knowing. The organization was influenced by "Freud, Jung and Hegel's Dialectic Thesis-antithesis-Synthesis" (Problems-Reactions-Solutions). The institution utilizes its techniques to promote uniformity, the multicultural multiracial society and the non-white invasion into European and North American countries. They use the same techniques that are also used by media companies to stop people from questioning what is really happening in the world around them. They have developed strategies that create mind blocks so people will stop questioning them, and some examples of these words such as homophobia, victimhood, inclusion, diversity, equity, racism, extremism and bigotry.
A funny thing happens when you take this same premise to female-led households...
I turned 65 in March, work both a full-time day job, and a part-time evening job, and I’ve been out in God’s own trenches for a long time. I’ve also died on the hill of at will employment for willy-nilly and arbitrary reasons. Interesting when academic administrators get terminated, and clearly for cause, the victim card comes out, along with the generous severance packages like a year’s salary, a year’s worth of paid COBRA, and opportunities to get re-employed and bid for a faculty position. Unless you’re a CEO in the private sector tech industry who fails miserably, and bankrupts the company while in turn exiting with $ millions, the average Joes like me gets a kick to the curb in mere minutes.
Nothing against this sharp young man, but I see where my distaste for academia comes from.
Uh, you are just noticing that blue collar (I assume you mean) workers get treated differently than those in unions and with contractual positions?
You do realize that this 'sharp young man' noticed just over half of undergrads are women and said they outnumber men 'two to one'. When you don't know basic math, thats not so 'sharp'.
I went through academic but like you spent my life doing blue collar work. I'd take academia anytime. Why the 'hatred' is in large part fear, because people fear what they don't understand. And in academia you learn shitloads of stuff, so in North America its like the middle age, professionals talk about things like how vaccines work and much of hte population doesn't even know what cell looks like.
MOST of the commenting about academia comes from OUTSIDE the schools. Because in large part we don't hear students complaining, or even administrators.
Of course thats becaues I know what it USED to be like. I know the male professors who LITERALLY assaulted people and go away with it for decades because they had been published. I know the MOSTLY male profs who were coddled and got away with anything. I had a philosophy professor who LITERALLY graded on 'penmanship' and rote regurgitation of some comments he made.
I got a lousy mark, but I challenged him and they forced him to change his teachign structure. Didn't help me though.
Rapes in colleges are about TEN times what they are in the general public, and yet all we ever hear are the isolated cases where some woman falsely accused the football team somewhere and how women shouldn't drink because then they are 'asking for it'.
Academia now is TEN times better than it was. I've taken online courses, FREE ones, I recommend you check them out becuase there are LOTS of retirees getting an education. What people are TERRIFIED of is the fact that the power structures we grew up with, and that have guaranteed that guys like you and me are kicked to the curb when executives and administrators get golden parachutes, are being challenged. And maybe thats a big of guilt that maybe WE should have been a little more vocal about that pretty basic injustice, rather than bitching at people who are saying maybe it SHOULDN"T be like that.
Smart, reasonable, even-handed analysis and commentary....

I love all the chaos 😅
Glorification of victimhood!
I am a youth counselor. The young men (teens) I mentor who make it to what they need - trauma and mental health support, a brotherhood of men, their mission, stability - are those who don't go to college at least in the typical way.
I've also seen quite a few young men go silent and check out after college; their words are toxic, they stop speaking or expressing.
Others still who do become molded to the leftist culture are typically more feminine or androgynous. But they suffer a lot; they are subject to women's natural behavior in groups and do not get to be men. As a survivor of a Social Justice cult in a youth service network, I've lived this first hand. What she shared here is true in many more ways.
Let me guess, you are a RELIGIOUS youth councillor. Yes, I see that work all over comments on atheism. "I grew up in a horrible envrionment where they told me how to act and what to think". It says it all that you think you know what men who aren't speaking or expressing are thinking.
I'd be interested in knowing where you have this notion of 'men in groups'. Because I know plenty of women in industry, MOST are still very male dominated and the women stil have to cater to them. I know a high level executive who takes the notes at meetings because the men refuse to or bitch so much about it she says 'its just easier this way'.
This is like the vision of conservatives, where the glass is only 90% full. Dammit, women wanted equality and may actually GET equality....the horror! I may actually have to....shudder....change something about how I deal with other people! The horror!
I ❤ this!
The introduction seems to either assume understanding of, or miss, the negative side of empathy. Empathy, though we cannot, and should not, ever do away with it, fosters in the recipient a knowledge of the profit in one's own weakness and incapacity. Parents intuit this as they see their child's mind consciously or unconsciously evolve around incidents of empathy received, and therefore exercise caution with compassion, in order that the child develop the coping skills they will need (out of empathy + long term thinking). Empathy exerts an inner corruption. In high doses it creates selfish people, who, in youth, were excused from punishments upon the cue of their mournful protests and agony. Agony is a feature of human life that. partially, can be reduced through sheer refusal to live in it, and there is no better way to have this skill put upon your life than to have been in a place where empathy was not to be found.
The next phase of the corruptive force arrives when the society at large is peopled by those thus corrupted, and there is then little left in the bank of empathy (which ultimately must be backed by some material things, as it is material forgiveness, compensations and allowances of no9n-providing that the empathy-hounds seek) with which to pay out the empathy seekers, as well as those whom in the era before the conflagration of empathy would be worthy recipients of empathy.
EDIT: He got there, albeit in a more specified way. Though he does seems to place it more in a virtue frame, while I see it more as currency - empathy becomes currency in the heart of the recipient, or a sort of multi-purpose hall pass through life.
Richard Hanania in his article "Women's Tears Win in the Marketplace of Ideas" advocates for something similar to Rufo. Hanania says masculine values of logic and debate or feminine values such as empathy should be the organizing principles of universities and public life more broadly.
Neither Hanania nor Rufo has an answer for the social predisposition of people to essentially give women what they ask for.
What this predisposition seems to suggest is any town square will eventually be taken over by empathy, given the chance, even though "the patriarchy" built the modern world. Separate institutions for men and women with reigning masculine or feminine values seem like the bare minimum required to roll back the over-mothering of Americans.
Starting @ 4:53 - until 5:25 please correct the title if you can. It says "Pyschological Victim Narrative" rather than Psychological Victim Narrative.
All those menstral cycles coming into sync at the same time - OMFG.
I think we spend too much time bean counting demographics.
Let us all find our own specialties based on merit and societal fit. I am so tired of the identity politics that tells us we always have to see someone that looks like ourselves.
Compassion in the workplace, usually in my opinion, just comes across as pity. No one is going to give up their victim card because by doing so, they will forfeit their political pity niche. Then they can’t stand on their moral, high ground and scream. Give me this give me the give me give me give me.
It’s perfect 😊Really interesting to see where those wyite girls are gonna run 🏃♀️ to when no one wants to listen to them and their status and marks are reduced to zero 😂
Consuming microplastics will do that to you.

Would be better if you referenced the texts these ideas came from, eg Paul Gottfried
I would not have made it through college without physics or math to study. I have a rational mind handicap.
And how's that working out?
60-40 does not equal 2-to-1. 60-40 is 1.5 to 1.
67-33 is roughly 2-to-1.
It amuses me to see this old conceptualization making it to relative 'mainstream' now. The cry of rejection used to be 'Embrace the Winter'.
Remember to stay current on your Yuri Bezmenov.
Idk if it's all a conspiracy by the soviet union at this point. The worst darn thing the soviets ever did to the US was collapse and let us think since we didn't really have a mortal enemy anymore, we don't need to keep our ppl competitive.
@@blondequijote I think Bezmenov expalins in some detail how "the long game" or long term subversion works. And the clowns in power at the moment fit the shoe. The isn't about the "Soviet Union", but about lacing society with a destructive world view which is billed as social justice.
The ideas which are mainstream today were all thought up and bread by marxists and most of the people today who repeat these ideas are neo marxists, deconstructionist etc.
@@dirkbogarde7796 yeah I remember watching his videos and thinking whether or not it’s the Russians behind it, someone definitely took these ideas and is implementing them.
@@blondequijote This isn't unique to the subversive Soviet Union. Muslims do this as well in the West by using social justice language and democracy to further their world view. This world view being anything but liberal.
Look at what Al Jazeera and AJ+ are doing. They push the anti Western narrative and instrumentalise ecology, feminism and social justice despite Qatar 🇶🇦 being neither of these ideas. All the Muslims do is destabilise our political process. Just like RT was doing until it was banned.
Qatar and Iran and many Muslims are using our weaknesses to score points. Erdogan too.
Look at AJ+ and watch them broadcast and tweet pseudo tolerant messages.

How would you relate this to the idea 20 years ago that moralistic therapeutic deism was the common religious belief of teenagers?
Just a little bit of disagreeable assertiveness and emotional resilience would blow down the whole house of cards
Yeah this is great.
The Academia and the Education system in the US is finished to be followed shortly by Education and the UK University system.
All men's colleges needs to come back in style.
The soyification of college kids by Karen bureaucrats.
Bingo.
They will use SIGN Language to discredit you with Shame - Insults Guilting - Need to be right
Matriarchal societies are highly punitive.
My daughter's BF was smart, tough, burly football star and an A student in HS. After earning a Political Science degree, he still doesn't know what he wants to do, has been completely feminized and works as a dock boy at a marina. At least he finally cut his hair. I'm holding out hope.
He can become a cult leader and run a harem.
Your daughter can help him recruit bitches. 🥰
All-girls and women's schools have existed for generations. Have they had these problems? Why or why not?
Men look out. Women look in.
