Mike Adams
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)
