Here is a gem from Louis Markos in “Just Brilliant: Three Things only a PhD Can Believe,” appearing in the latest edition of Salvo magazine:
Though most Americans fancy that feminism only means “equal pay for equal work,” the feminism I have witnessed being taught in our modern universities has little to do with the rules of fair play in the workplace. Students who enroll in a psychology or sociology class today, even if that class is taught in a Christian college, are indoctrinated to believe that there are no essential differences between the sexes. More than that, they are taught that there is no such thing as masculinity and femininity, that the differences we see between boys and girls are merely a product of long-standing customs of socialization, such as giving boys trucks to play with and girls dolls to play with.
…
Unfortunately, anti-essentialist feminism carries with it a terrible irony. Although feminism purports to raise the value and status of women, it actually deconstructs femininity, treating it as an illusion or even an aberration. The male chauvinist of the past identified women as unique and different, but then treated femininity as a lesser thing than masculinity. The feminist of today, rather than celebrating femininity as a thing of equal worth, dismisses it as a bourgeois construction.
Far from championing femininity as a beautiful, God-created gift, the feminist absorbs femininity into a hyper-masculine world of competition, struggle, and ideology. As G. K. Chesterton noted a full century ago (in What’s Wrong with the World), the proper definition of a feminist is someone “who dislikes the chief feminine characteristics.”

Great piece Jason, I was invited to write for the Salvo last year but never got around to putting together as article for them. This piece on the agenda of feminists in higher educations is correct, In my college I have witnessed many events where guest speakers were brought in to teach the students that kind of feminism and the host professors were evangelistic in their appeal to the students to join their way of thinking.
What concerned me most was that there were never any events that countered that kind of thinking at our college. It seemed that no professor in our college was interested in challenging such ideas and the students are the victims.

Danzil, why didn’t you write for them? It’s a great magazine. What an honor. How did that come about?
Yes, it is ubiquitous in educational circles. That’s the only way they can spread this meme. As they say, there are some things that are so stupid that only an intellectual can believe them. We have to be educated out of our common sense.
