A bitter sweet harvest

The problem with these textbooks is that information is presented uncritically, with only part of the story being told - so young, impressionable college women emerge from their assigned reading with a jaded view of a world in which patriarchy reigns supreme and women don’t stand a chance at success unless they “transform knowledge”.

The textbooks claim that women will conquer patriarchy and reclaim their empowered selves by learning their own “history of struggle and achievement”. But according to Stolba, Women’s Studies has actually only “encouraged this process of internalizing subordination and inferiority by promoting a message of women-as-victims”.

The young women who graduated from the indoctrination courses at the so-called centres of excellence and higher learning in the 1960s and 1970s, have now achieved what Joseph Stalin couldn't.

Andrew Bolt, editor of the Herald Sun, was criticised for his editorial, “Law wears a dress”.

When writing about the appointment of Marcia Neave to the Victorian Court of Appeal (Herald Sun, March 1, 2006) he said, “To me, she seems more qualified as an activist than a judge”. He remarked that she had no experience as a judge of any kind but was “a law academic and feminist whose previous job was head of the Victorian Law Reform Commission, where she pushed for the right of single women to IVF”.

Eeva Sodhi wrote a similar criticism of activist Supreme Court judges in Canada:

Both McLachlin and L'Heureux-Dubé are self-confessed feminists. In a just society no law can be applied according to the personal agenda or perception of a judge, especially if that judge openly embraces such radical ideology as feminism. We could hardly tolerate a member of the Aryan Nation to deliver a verdict concerning racial tolerance.

If our judges and law enforcement agencies are, indeed, trained by an organization which bases its dogma on partial truths and outright lies, as shown ..., then they can be seen to be participants in the effort to subvert justice.

Decades after graduating, many of these feminists have successfully infiltrated the higher echelons of the public service where it is now possible to influence the direction of governments and policies. Institutions such as the Australian Law Reform Commission or the attorney generals and justice departments in the various states and territories.

"I believe that into the future, other states will copy the direction that Tasmania is taking," said Tasmania's Premier Paul Lennon.

“... The heart of darkness" is how Senator Ann Cools described Canada's new domestic violence laws.

One and a half centuries ago, the seeds planted by Karl Marx's Communist manifesto are finally nearing maturity. The harvest will soon commence, yet few will reap any rewards from this bittersweet harvest. Only a privileged few. But like the peasants of Russia, most will only experience disillusionment, injustice and suffering.
