It's about time.

Idea for a top ten list; anti-feminists. Palin could be listed, along side this guy and a few choice others who shall not be named for fear that my head will explode.

Jenn Astle -- I think Harvey Mansfield is way up there on my own "top 10" list. (Maybe we should take nominations?)

Wow, word to the "reads like a parody" -- his quotes in that article, well... just wow. I really hope no one takes him seriously -- he is so nutso that he doesn't even sound like specifically an anti-feminist as much as a paranoid conspiracy theorist (who just happens to blame feminism rather than, say, the government or aliens).

Yup, he could definately be added to that list.

In terms of Hollander, if you research him a little you come to find out that his legal rampage against women started right around the time that his Russian mail order bride decided to leave him.

And apparently women are the unstable, emotional, vindictive bitches, eh?

I love the list idea!
And if that thing about the Russian bride is true, why is it that feminists are branded as the bitter, angry people seeking vengeance? This guy fits the bill more neatly.

"Where do you think all those lunatic female syndromes come from for excusing murdering incipient human beings, boiling babies, drowning their children, and killing their boyfriends or husbands?"

Well, I guess I'd say they come from Hollander's own warped and disturbingly-paranoid mind. Maybe all those drugs his wife fed him damaged his perception of reality...I'd be mad too.

hahahaha..

Hollander claims that his motion doesn't read like a parody and then went on to say this???

“Women’s studies [programs] aid and abet murder,” Hollander said. “Where do you think all those lunatic female syndromes come from for excusing murdering incipient human beings, boiling babies, drowning their children, and killing their boyfriends or husbands?”

Yay Columbia!

Can I legally petition for him to change his name? He's giving half my country a bad name!

@ Lydia

She obviously came to America as a nubile submissive virgin sworn to lovingly obey his every whim, but a feminist sneezed behind her on the bus and she suddenly wanted human rights. Happens all the time! I was a 19th-century milkmaid until I shook hands with Gloria Steinem.

[Just teasin', I totally agree with you]

Though... let's just go ahead and make feminism a religion. We'd get money like the homophobes and the anti-choicers under the Faith-Based Initiatives laws!

Roy and MOB's, what a combo. A Google search with came up with this:

http://www.online-dating-rights.com/forum/index.php?topic=1540.0

and this crackpot wrote the following about Columbia, Women's Studies, and Roy:

Roy said that Women's Studies is a "boot camp for turning out feminist stormtroopers who pervert the constitutional law..."

Columbia filed a motion for the case to be dropped, arguing that Hollander has no standing to sue since he is not a Columbia student, and that he has not coherently defined a men’s studies alternative.

Lets help Roy on this one. What would define a Men's Studies program? What would be the course titles and content?

1. Introduction to Men's Studies
2. Patriarchy: Myth or Reality
3. Cultural Marxism: Friend or Foe
4.
5.

Introduction to Men's Studies draws on masculinist ideas and scholarship in developing historical, theoretical and cross-cultural frameworks for the comparative study of men and gender. Questions addressed include: What does it mean to study "men" as a group? When is it useful to focus on commonalities among men, when is it necessary to stress differences? In what ways do gender differences and gendered power relations organize the social world and shape people's experiences and self-perceptions? The course aims to sharpen students' critical awareness of how gender operates in institutional and cultural contexts and in their own lives, and to give them an opportunity to imagine participating in social change.

Units covered include histories of the men's movement (nineteenth and twentieth centuries); historical developments in masculinist thought (consciousness-raising, "the personal is political," simultaneous oppressions/privilege); gender and sexuality (the social construction of gender and sexuality, coming-out stories); violence against men (masculinist theories and interventions); men and work (men's work, subsidizing the work/family conflict needs of women); men and religion (Christianity in the US: history and ideology; international masculinism (war and international labor) and a final unit on masculinist cultural interventions (anti-feminism, golf, dating foreign women).

Good. It's about time that someone stood up to this guy.

IIRC, he is blaming his ex wife for him being so broke. Seems to me that filing countless frivolous lawsuits could be a bit of a pocket drainer.

Sorry, Roy. Last I heard Columbia still offers History.

Roy does not really want to do away with Women's Studies or even create a Men's Studies program. What he wants is to take this already misunderstood discipline and place it on the media front burner. He wants to mock it, trivialize it, and be a proud hero in his mind; the one who shook up the bastion of academic feminism. That's bad enough. However, the real danger is outside the schools and universities. The mockery of academic feminism will lead to a further discrediting of feminism in wider society, That is why Columbia must get this case dismissed and fast. We cannot let Roy draw us out into a position of defending feminism.

Abbs, I don't think it's that bad. For one, feminism's been around this block a few times before. Personally I think it never hurts to remind people every once in a while why things like gender and women's studies are still needed. Another thing is that every time this guy opens his mouth, it is to put his foot in it. His claims are so over the top ridiculous I don't think anyone will take him very seriously. For crying out loud, half of the article is a sob story about his evil Russian wife!

After Hollander spoke to Columbia graduate students this summer, he said the audience’s civility threw him off.

“I expected a Minutemen situation,” Hollander said. “To me, Columbia is a bastion of feminism, a boot camp for turning out feminist stormtroopers who pervert the constitutional law and destroy men.”

He's not a lost cause yet!

He may yet be saved.
