Despite feminists tearing down posters for the event last week, Christina Hoff Sommers finally spoke at California State University, Los Angeles.
She was invited to speak by the Young Americans for Freedom chapter at the school and much to the chagrin of leftists, drew a sizable audience.
Of course, like all non-progressives who attempt to make their voices heard on American college campuses today, her event required heavy security.

Christina Hoff-Sommers talks feminism at CSULA
On Tuesday, California State University, Los Angeles’s Young Americans for Freedom chapter hosted Christina Hoff-Sommers, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute for a talk entitled “Where Feminism Went Wrong.”
Hoff-Sommers spoke to a packed audience about the dangers of modern-day feminism, and how it’s imperative that conservatives stand up and fight against it.
Hoff-Sommers primarily focused on the idea that women in America are the freest women in the world. She also argued that common liberal ideas like the “wage gap” are used as a political tool and have no basis in reality.
“Intersectional feminism is a repressive ideology,” Hoff-Sommers argued. “It infantilizes women through microaggression monitoring and privilege checking, which are not really about protecting vulnerable, marginalized people. They are illiberal means of preventing the free exchange of ideas.”
“Fight for what is rightfully yours,” she concluded. “The freedom to speak, to think, to grow. Take back freedom, take back reason, take back kindness and humor, and while you’re at it, take back feminism.”
This short video will give you an idea of what the event was like. At one point, a young woman in the audience tries to tell Sommers that we have more slavery in America today for some reason:

Bork as Nostradamus. We’ve slouched past Gomorrah. Brave woman.

I love this lady. IF young women listen to her, they will be open to a happy, productive life.
I worked for the Washington State Patrol on the Capitol Campus, a stone’s throw from the Legislative Building. Whenever a liberal group held a rally or protest on the campus, the WSP would respond with a force of @two dozen troopers to maintain order, even when the protesters numbered two hundred or so. The protesters were invariably loud, abusive, foul-mouthed, and had banners and placards reflecting this temperament.
When two thousand-plus dangerous, right-wing gun nuts, armed to the teeth with “assault rifles,” shotguns, and openly-carried handguns (like myself) showed up for a pro-gun rally, how many troopers did the WSP deploy? Four. The assembly was quiet and orderly, the attendees were polite and didn’t litter or destroy (or threaten to destroy) anything. This just shows that even the police understand from which side of the aisle actual violence, threats, and destructiveness comes.
but honestly mate…who the hell is going to cause trouble at a pro-gun rally in a group of heavily armed pro-gun supporters??? 🙂
So nice to see these enthusiastic young women coming out to support the rights of one of their peers to freely state her opinion without the threat of violent suppression.
To the a-(censored) protesters, however, they can go to (censored).
