We risk making young women angry at nothing, for one. And, with that anger, we risk making those same women seem unhinged or out of touch with reality as they angrily stomp about campuses across the country protesting against something few perceive as a problem at all.

Damn that feminism, making women uppity and hysterical.

And by arguing against something that cannot even be proven statistically, logically or in any other way, these poor young women risk alienating themselves from the very society they claim they are fighting to join.

Really? Not statistically, or logically? Where's your female president? What statistical percentage of women are CEOs, or members of Congress? What statistical percentage of the world's wealth is owned by women? (Hint: it's less than ten percent.) Fact: women are still banned from some professions based on their gender alone, such as frontline infantry.

No, feminism has become as much a thing of the past as rotary phones or buggy whips. It's time to move on, girls. Join the men as leaders of the nation, not as spoiled, half-educated whiners, would ya?

Mmmm, I love the smell of condescension in the morning. If he's going to get all utilitarian on college degrees, what's the point of philosophy? History? Even theoretical physics? They don't "produce" anything. And if "knowledge for knowledge's sake" is a valid answer, it's a valid answer for the social sciences, too.

Besides, conservatives love quoting the findings of, as he puts it, the 'social "sciences"' - as long as those findings agree with them. They do it all the time! Without all of those "studies", how would you prove gay marriage was dangerous for children, or that women aren't fit for combat roles?

That line makes me so ferociously angry; I am beside myself. It's unsurprising that a white cisgendered conservative male doesn't recognise his privilege.
