Product Description

What happens when a conservative Christian white male professor – with a wicked sense of humor --stands up to his “feminazi” colleagues? The darndest things!

Professor Mike Adams at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington was an atheist and a Democrat when he entered academia over a decade ago. And as you can only imagine, he fit right in back then.

But ever since he saw the light, the full-time feminists on campus have had Professor Adams in their crosshairs. Their insults, taunts, foul language, intolerance, and public declarations about their sex lives have trailed him from the campus quad to the courtroom.

In this series of letters Professor Adams has written to his real-life colleagues, he exposes these real-life incidents to the general public with his trademark barbed wit. You will be praying for more professors like Adams.

Professor Adams’ hilariously titled-letters to his feminist colleagues include:
* “I Found My Thrill in Front of Anita Hill”
* “The Malice Cowboy Cheerleaders”
* “The Society for Cutting Up Men”
* “Madam Ovary”
* “The Feminist Who Stole Christmas”

From Publishers Weekly
In Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel: Confessions of a Conservative College Professor, Adams lampooned liberals, campus radicalism and the academic left. At the outset of his second jaunt across the campus, the highly opinionated professor of criminal justice at the University of North Carolina–Wilmington explains his reason for targeting feminists: I want to find out why they hate us. Unleashing salvos of sarcasm, he collects his correspondence addressed to feminist students, professors, activists and administrators, including some letters never mailed (probably for the best). Claiming that feminist scholar is an oxymoron, Adams asserts that feminists have no sense of humor, are the biggest censors on college campuses, lack the courage to act as individuals, engage in widespread academic and personal dishonesty and attempt to solve problems by changing society rather than their own behavior. Ridiculing feminist-sponsored masturbation workshops, he notes, Men are fully capable of masturbating without taking a seminar.... For campus feminists, it's another excuse to seek funding from the university administration. Adams's caustic survey of the feminist worldview is certain to stir up controversy when his conservative radio promotional campaign gets underway. (Feb. 14)

Customer Reviews

I really wanted to like this book more than I did.
There is no doubt in my mind that many feminists act just as Adams portrayed them. I've encountered these humorless, judgmental, ideologues more often than I would have desired and also I find their uncritical acceptance of certain absurdities laughable. Adams does a good job of painting a lively picture of the hypocrisy, jargon, and defensiveness that this stripe of person displays. His flair for both controversy and humor come across often enough in the book. It made it mostly enjoyable.

I do, however, take issue with Adams, and those who take up these sort of critiques from a Christian perspective. To me, this is a case of fighting one unquestioned belief with another unquestioned belief. A path that utilizes critical thinking, hard questioning, and empirical evidence, seems quite sufficient on its own and requires neither a faith in ideological utopianism nor that of an Eastern religion (Christianity) to initiate such a frame of mind.

Adams has no problem in showing us the cherry-picking techniques of postmodern feminism, as well as its oft-invoked moral basis in the nebulousness of "feeling." Throughout the book he offers examples of how these feministas choose facts that suit their purposes, particularly, from his perspective, in their disingenuous attempts to harm his career. Toward the end of the book (p.191), however, he whimpers about how "Christ" is being taken out of Xmas and tells us how hypocritical feminists use "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas". Here, he relies on an unquestioned assumption that the 25th of December was made "holy" by Christ. I hate to break it to him (and others), but that "holy day" was "holy" long before Christianity made its way to Europe (Yule, Sol Invictus, etc.). Let's not forget, either, that "holy," "day," and even "god" are not Aramaic or Hebrew words, but Germanic words that predate Christianity's introduction to Europe by centuries. And let's not even broach the pre-Christian origins of the "holiness" of the spruce tree that provoked his indignation as well...

My point is, that if we are going to point out the inconsistencies of the feminists with their "moral relativism" then it would be wise to subject one's own moral foundation to the same analysis. This book would have been much more effective, and perhaps even more humorous, if the merit of critical argumentation would have been allowed to stand on its own. It can be argued that the relativism of postmodern feministas is right on par with the wishy-washy hermeneutics practiced throughout the centuries by the many groups who consider themselves "christian." After all, "Christians" can't seem to agree amongst themselves just who's "christian" and who is not.

It is easy enough to see that the type of feminist Adams describes deserves to be razzed, ridiculed and mocked, particularly when they practice the very discrimination they preach against. However, I don't think Christianity offers the best, most consistent basis for such a critique given its own foundation of wishy-washy subjectivism (aka "feelings").

Misandry In Academentia Exposed - Again.
This book is an insightful and amusing ride along the Orwellian yellow brick road of Misandry (Hatred of Men, Masculinity and Normal Heterosexuality) in the pathetic farce that passes itself as Academentia, where Two Legs are Good, and Four Legs are proof that the Bruthish Raping Pale Male Pig Oppressor Partiarchy must be Destroyed BAMN BAMN = As in Bash Men, By Any Means Necessary.

As a long time Men's Civil Rights Advocate I too have been targeted by the Radical Leftist / Gender Feminist / Homosex Thought Police for various political enforcement actions, and can attest to the "heads we win, tails you lose" logic of the Left and thier 'Misandry Uber Alles' agenda. In fact - the 'Most Amoral' Womyn in Idaho - Deputy Attorney General Susan Christensen (formerly Kay Manweiler til her bitter divorce) is on record as Chair of the Idaho Bar Moral Character Committee as stating (actually, more like venomously spitting in to my face) that: "Misandry is Not a Real Word you can look up in Webster's Dictionary"

Of course the Inconvenient Fact that MISANDRY is not only a Real Word, but is found easily in the copy of Websters Dictionary on Public Display in the Lobby of the Idaho Bar Headquarters - does not deter Misandrists like Christensen in the least from punishing those who assert the contrary - for being "Dishonest".

Hence my identification with the Author, who provides telling insights in to the psychotic world of "Womyn" (those who remove the hated 'rape words' of Men / Man from their titles - Changing Woman to Womyn) in service of a venomous bile dripping Hate Driven Thought Policing that now controls so much of our alleged 'higher education' system - where Misandry is the True Tenure Track and Rational Thought the Enemy of 'feminist progress'.

Laugh out loud funny
Truth is stranger than fiction. After working at the college I attended for a couple years nothing surprises me. With a "Womyn Studies Department" right next to my building and hourly exposure to those devotees of manabalism I have returned from the trenches with little respect for feminists. Silly little creatures that produce an exponential amount of noise.
Thank you Mike for giving both sexes possessed of humor something truly entertaining.
