Phyllis Schlafly: Introduce Male Quotas And End Student Loans To Reduce Female College Enrollment

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 1/6/2015 12:00 pm

Distraught that women are outpacing men in college enrollments, Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly took to WorldNetDaily this week to float the idea that colleges should enforce a gender quota to even out admissions to the benefit of men. Responding to a 2010 New York Times article, Schlafly wondered if colleges should set male admissions quotas to ensure that student bodies are “half women and half men.”

Another proposal Schlafly put in the mix is to “stop granting college loans, thereby forcing students to take jobs to pay for their tuition and eliminate time for parties, perhaps even wiping out time for fraternities and sororities.”

Schlafly also called for colleges to stop enforcing Title IX, which prevents sex discrimination in education, as a way to attract men, alleging that the anti-discrimination measure “removes a primary motivation for young men to go to college, many of whom want to try out for a sport even if they are not good enough to make the team.”

All of this, the right-wing activist insists, would actually benefit women because it would give them more available men to date.

1. I can't believe she's still alive

she must be in her 80's or 90's by now.

Come to think of it, I don't think I've actually seen her in the last 15 years. Maybe it's one of her idiot children, probably Andrew, playing the Norman Bates role.

He sits in Mommies bedroom dressed up in her finest 1940 German American Bund evening wear typing away at "her" latest World Nut Daily article while Phyllis' skeletal reamains oversee him approvingly from her rocker.

That fucking family is outright nuts from the top of the tree to the roots.

4. IIRC, she does have a gay son.

I can well imagine holiday dinner at that house.

5. She was born in August, 1924. A good mind, rotted.

2. Premature.

They are literally turning around on themselves

6. Oh, good. Someone from the Harding Administration comments on 2015 matters.

That's what was missing.

7. As I said in another thread, people who are traitors to their group getting equality are

particularly irksome to me. And Schlafly is the poster child for this kind of person.

She drives me nuts. I cannot stand her.

9. when she and I were going a round about the ERA (one of the reasons she opposed it was that

women might get drafted) I asked why, if it was so terrible for our daughters to go to war, why it was so wonderful for our sons. no answer from the fly, of course.

11. All I need to get my mom worked up is to mention her name.

I'm sure one of the reasons I can't stand her as much as I do is because of my mother being angry at her and mentioning it when I was 5 during the early 1970's ERA campaign.

Then again, the racist and sexist stuff she has said recently is probably enough by itself.

8. you know, phyllis, you clueless twit, the college I attended (and where you and I exchanged

barbs) actually had males attending who were interested in academics, not sports.


alleging that the anti-discrimination measure “removes a primary motivation for young men to go to college, many of whom want to try out for a sport even if they are not good enough to make the team.”

if sports is a primary reason males go to college, we need to create outlets that don't involved wasting the time of actual academics on these people.

10. rec'cing for visibility

12. Funny, I thought the Right Wing didn't believe in quotas.
