Exhibit A in the Case of Christ versus Nothing
For those of you who think I am exaggerating when I complain about the state of the modern world, or think I mistake exactly to what destination modern philosophy and modern education leads:
The money quote:
Northwestern University acknowledged that an unusual demonstration was held on campus last week in which students observed a naked woman being penetrated by a sex toy.
The sex act was performed in front of about 100 students in psychology professor John Michael Bailey’s human sexuality class. The demonstration occurred after class, and attendance was optional.
The university will pay several hundred dollars to guest lecturer Ken Melvoin-Berg, co-owner of Weird Chicago Tours. His Feb. 21 discussion of bondage, swinging and other sexual fetishes was arranged by Bailey, who gets extra funding from the university’s College of Arts & Sciences for lectures and other activities he routinely holds after class.
“The students find the events to be quite valuable, typically, because engaging real people in conversation provides useful examples and extensions of concepts students learn about in traditional academic ways,” Bailey said in a prepared statement Wednesday night
My comment: given a choice between women portrayed as objects into which to insert sex toys, and as damsels, brides, wives and mothers to be cherished and protected, which seems to be the more dehumanizing and less in keeping with the dignity and mystique of women?
I ask because the modern age has decided that these two are the only two choices: Victorian Morality, which gave the woman the vote, or Modern Antimorality, which robs women of the likelihood of finding a serious suitor, a decent & hardworking husband who has kept himself for marriage, raising descent children to maturity without their getting the clap or committing suicide, or enjoying old age with the companionship of a lifelong mate.
