Valentine's Day, once a happy occasion for
college students, has instead become a day of
rancor and discord which symbolizes the divide
between men and women on college campuses.
Much of the sour sentiment surrounding
Valentine's Day has been caused by Eve Ensler's
"holiday" campaign "V-Day: Until the Violence
Stops." For years the holiday's backers and its
campus supporters in Women's Studies departments
and women's centers have propagated a series of
discredited falsehoods which stigmatize and vilify
men by wildly exaggerating the extent of American
men's violence against women. Dissident feminist
Christian Hoff Sommers calls these canards "hate
statistics."
Ensler's "holiday" is now "celebrated" on over
500 college campuses, and college newspapers are
saturated both with misandrist (anti-male) V-Day
ads and approving news stories and opinion columns.
Productions of her anti-male play The Vagina
Monologues have become an integral part of V-Day
festivities. Valentine's Day, which in the past
symbolized the romantic bonds between men and
women, has been turned into a day which further
separates them.
Carrie
Lukas, Director of Policy for the
Independent
Women's Forum has helped craft her
organization's fight against anti-male feminism on
college campuses and in society as a whole. Fox
News Columnist Wendy McElroy has written
extensively on V-Day, the Vagina Monologues, and
campus misandry. Carrie and Wendy appeared on Glenn
Sack's radio show, His Side with Glenn Sacks
on Sunday, February 1.
