Feminist professor in Spain advocates for mass castrations in front of her students (imagine the public reaction and newspapers if the genders were reversed and a male professor advocated for FGM)

I don't think we have to pretend that we believe this shit is mainstream within feminism to condemn it. However, the fact that it firmly fits in the Overton Window is indeed a problem.

What is this from the 70's? Did she never read about Queen Victoria? If you haven't realized by now that women act just as greedily and cruelly as men in positions of leadership, you must be living under an iceberg.

Disgusting, this trash shouldn't teach young people about genocide.

Yes, keeping a group of people from reproducing is genocide.

Another student proposes in the video matriarchy as a concept of society. Thus female supremacy and disadvantaging and discriminating boys and men.

Radical feminists don't even bother to hide that equality and egalitarianism are NOT their goals.

Both FGM and castrations are inhuman, disgusting and despicable things to want and NOT only the former one.

The fact that they are able to joke and laugh about serving testicles with Congnac is pretty disgusting.

A class or any other public space would never even begin to entertain a discussion about mutilating vaginas and serving clitori with glass of whiskey without accusing the speaker of being a total psychopath. The fact that you can even go there is a testament to just how little empathy there is for men. It’s almost as if the point was to reveal this.

I'm surprised her male students were even allowed to speak. The Left needs to eschew crazies like this woman.

Its true that in tribal and band societies war is a way for males to increase their reproductive success by getting other males killed in combat and acquiring resources from defeated enemies. But in the modern world, men in politics are not in reproductive competition with the men in the military who do the actual fighting. They are not in the same social classes. Modern warfare serves different purposes, like creating and maintaining political coalitions and paying back constituents and acquiring land for dictators. Those are all purposes that women also have when they are in power. That is how women were actually more likely to start and win wars than men over the past 5 centuries. https://www.nber.org/papers/w23337 The environmental movement was started by men. https://www.britannica.com/topic/environmentalism/History-of-the-environmental-movement So if you think that ecology and nature are the feminine values, then first you need to explain how that can be the case when it was middle class white men who made them into a movement. Plus, societies with a shortage of marriageable men tend to be more violent and less happy. Castrating 25% of the population would just make it harder to find marriageable men. (The Myth of Culture, Nigel Barber). Her idea would make things worse. Plus, is there really any demand for castrati voices in modern society? I think that she meant 75% would still have physical power. Castrating adults isn't complicated. Its just hard because they fight back. A man's sexual organs are sometimes his identity. But they are also the way he passes his genes onto future generations. It isn't just identity that is at stake here. There is also a biological imperative at stake.

Some politicians reported it to the police and some parents raised concerns about her being mentally sufficiently able to teach young people.

I just noticed that there's even a petition demanding consequences towards this teacher 😂

She claims castration doesn't affect males. Aurelia, this disgusting and insidious anglerfish. Sex (male genitalia being required for that) has numerous positive effects on quality of life, happiness (producing lots of serotonin and reducing stress, amongst others) and health, e.g. reducing prostata cancer risk 1/3 when ejaculating regularly.

In addition, many would die due to infections and blood loss (like it's the case with FGM) and live with severe trauma, humiliations and getting joked at for that for the rest of their lifes.

Furthermore, getting romantic partners without that doesn't seem that easy either, if she finds out about it. Romantic relationships being another factor of quality of life and happiness.

This professor is a monster and everything she said about ecology and economy is ignorant trash too.

I speak Spanish and I searched a little for more context, because I was pretty shocked by the contents of the video.

For what it's worth, the professor in question claims that the audio was taken out of context.

She claims that she was doing a mock debate in her Literature class, based on an inversion of Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale", where she defended a dystopian scenario where men were oppressed, and students had to argue against her. Basically, she claims she was playing devil's advocate, not giving her opinion.

While it's possible she really enjoys this kind of exercise a bit too much (her Twitter claims that she's "very radical"), her explanation seems plausible enough as someone who went to high school in Spain. I think the reactions of the students would be a lot more fierce if she just said this shit spontaneously and "earnestly" (this was not a gender studies class or something, but a class of 17-year old high school students). When I went to high school in Spain some students really pushed back fiercely when a professor would give their political opinion (there's a bit of a societal divide in Spain between culturally left wing and right wing families, at least the part where I lived). The video does sound to me like the students were aware it was a fantasy exercise and were sheepishly trying to come up with arguments against the ludicrous statements of the professor.

You don't have to believe her side of the story, and even if it's true it's not necessarily in good taste, but yeah. I don't think this is one of those cases like that French feminist who unironically wrote a book about why it's OK to hate men. But, it's possible that she pissed off enough students or their parents (by other statements?) that a student felt the need to record in the first place. I'm just giving more context because I hate reflexive "cancel culture".

I’ve been explaining to my gay partner about this strand of feminism for years now. His disbelief is anchored in cognitive disconnection. He’s convinced this kind of nonsense is so selective to the American psyche that it will never reach us in Europe. Well, this clip and the The Guardian “journalist” should give him pause now.
