At the Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day…

Dr. Mike Goes to Sperm Donor Fantasy Camp

Posted by scott on November 11th, 2009

Dr. Professor Mike Adams, Townhall pundit and divorced father of none, is buttonholing America’s men today and delivering a few home truths about the proper way to raise a son:

Weak Negotiating Fathers

Right now, I’m waiting to board a flight in the Minneapolis airport. A young boy who is about two years old is throwing a tantrum and his father is pulling out a bag of goodies in an effort to appease him. The waiting areas in the A terminal of the Minneapolis airport are pretty small so I can’t get away from the noise. I’ll have to resume writing this column later.

I wish Dr. Mike had called that toddler out by name.  I’m sure we’d all like to send the kid a thank you card, maybe a Cookiepuss ice cream cake from Carvel, or a gift card to Toys R Us.

It’s temping to over-simplify the problem by saying that most fathers are afraid to discipline their children in public because there are cameras that record their actions and that those actions are increasingly monitored by the criminal courts. It is true that many acts we once called discipline are now called misdemeanors. But the problem is much broader.

Witnesses.

The civil courts have been so hijacked by radical feminism that a father’s right to see his own child is now seen as a privilege. Unless the mother actually murders her children she will get custody of them. The father who sees his children every other weekend won’t risk losing custody altogether. That is why any semblance of discipline often dies along with the marriage.

I can see why Dr. Mike hasn’t joined the breeders.  Those people are fucked up.

And it’s tempting to stop here and pretend we haven’t oversimplified the problem. But the war on fathers in the legal system really isn’t war. It is a battle in a larger war on men in our society-at-large. No one understands that war better than those of us who teach in higher education.

It’s amazing how many wars Dr. Mike is a veteran of, especially since his military experience is limited to a brief hitch in the KISS Army.

In the halls of academe feminists are pushing the idea that there are no inherent differences between men and women. The idea is simply too stupid to believe – even for most feminists. But feminists are no different than sorority girls in the sense that they will pretend to be stupid if it means they can get something without working.

When perusing Dr. Mike’s work, I’ve always found it highly beneficial to read between the lines, because none of his words appear there, and because one is often rewarded with shards of accidental autobiography that are far more entertaining than his actual topic.  In this case, I suspect that over the years more than one comely co-ed has briefly flirted with the professor in lieu of enduring his lectures, resulting in simultaneous grade and pants inflation.  But when it came time to settle accounts, it seems these (hypothetical) women all feigned an inability to decode the professor’s circumlocutory attempts to reach a quid pro quo.  Or at least a hand-job.

Their plan is simple: If male/female differences are all the result of patriarchal oppression, not biology, they can better argue for social engineering and the social welfare it entails.

And yet, Dr. Mike, who has often evangelized for female gun ownership, touting it’s leveling effect, isn’t much of a threat without his own arsenal, so I’m not sure what biological differences he’s troubled by in the classroom.  Unless he believes that women’s admittedly distinct reproductive organs account for their higher rates of college admission and graduation.

The feminist war on males…

Despite — or because of — Dr. Mike’s wide vocabulary of overcompensation (just skimming the titles of his past articles, we find: courage, courage, revolution, rapists, war, rape, hate, breasts, hate, hate, revolt, self-preservation, liberty, liberty, trigger angry, and murder) I can’t shake the feeling that deep down, he’s just a Steve Trevor in search of his Wonder Woman.  The sad thing is, there are probably dozens of professional doms in his area who have that costume and whose rates are reasonable! But instead of logging onto craigslist and gettin’ her done, he submits another column to Townhall, and we all have to suffer.

…reminds me very much of the war on Christians I once waged as an atheist. I enjoyed pointing to the hypocrisy of Christians.  But I only did it because bringing them down to my level was much easier than lifting myself up to theirs.

So, back when he was an atheist, Mike took issue with the contradictions inherent in American Christianity, which is certainly a legitimate subject for criticism, but he just did it to be an asshole.  Then he became a Christian, which is certainly a legitimate path to spiritual development, but he just did it to be assholier-than-thou.

Author’s Note: Dr.Adams’ debate this Thursday November 12th at UNC-Chapel Hill was cancelled. Because no one would debate him – approximately two dozen professors were asked – he will simply give a speech on affirmative action. The Youth for Western Civilization will sponsor the event, which begins at 7 p.m. in the Student Union Auditorium. There will be heavily armed security including Dr. Adams himself.

Wow.  Not a single professional educator responded (or even opened) Dr. Mike’s spam email challenging stupid feminists to a debate.  But since the hall was booked and paid for, he’ll be sitting on stage with his gun between 7 and 8:30 PM, complaining about Negroes.  Campus Police do not expect ticket scalping to be a problem.
