Brittney Cooper, author of the smash hit Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower, wanted to be a professor, and she got it. This is the basis of her complaint on NBC. (snip) What she deeply regrets is not having children. Who´s to blame for all this? Her wild success implies that it´s she. Whom does she blame? White neoliberals and their "perverse form of a social gospel." Where is the man she needs in this? No mention is made of what he needs from a woman

This is a person who fits the biblical description of a fool: Ecclesiastes 10:2 says, “The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.”

She is a victim, not of white males, a non extistent oppressive patriarchy, but to the feminist lie.

There is at least one Male who is a much happier individual than if she were to have entrapped him!

Becoming a professor is "making it"? Who knew? Feminism, like leftism, is an infectious disease. It falsely defines success, and there are a lot of young women out here who can´t find a husband because of their "success."

All the education in the world can´t make up for good old common sense.

To paraphrase an old adage - nothing damages women like feminism damages women. Or in the eternal words of Milo Yiannopolis "Feminism is cancer".

One can only wonder what this paragon of liberal virtue woud have done had she become pregnant. Abortion? Or maybe that is what happened and she doesn´t want other liberals to know she regrets aborting her child. One can only wonder.

And the pity is, she has spent years teaching the same crap to other young female students. How many of them will look back with the same regrets?
I know a young woman who was a staunch leftist/feminist until she became an EMT in an urban area. She watched as she transported all of these illegal immigrants to hospital where they received free health care while her parents paid a fortune for their´s.
Ironically, this real world experience has her leaning to the right. Not quite a conservative yet, but I expect she´ll get there in a few years.

Dems theme song: verse 1 It´s never my fault. I have no regrets because someone else caused it to happen. It couldn´t have been me. If only they had seen it my way. It´s not my fault.
Verse 2: repeat verse 1

A quick glance of her photo aptly demonstrates why she chose feminism over finding a man, the attributes of which I will be delicate enough not to mention.

Blaming others for one’s own regrettable decisions is such an immature approach. If the professor made it through 8th grade health class, she was aware she had a window of fertility—20-30 Years. That she did not, for whatever reason, take advantage of that limited opportunity, isn’t somebody else’s fault. Many of her educated sistren did, I’m happy to point out.

I looked up her book and found some quotes, including a video. I can´t for the life of me understand what she is saying, but then she is described as an Associate Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies and Africana Studies. What is Africana Studies?

What about adoption?
I´m not buying her story.
Me thinks this is an academic trying to invent a new form of repression so she can publish about it.
yep, i know that´s super cynical.

The reality in life is that we ALL make choices. We get what we pursue and leave other things behind. There is NEVER enough time and energy to do EVERYTHING. It is true that some things are out of our control. However, we control a lot of our personal destiny.
The key to happiness/success is to make the best decisions we can at least some of which should be to help others, work diligently on the things we have chosen to do, and learn to be happy with the life we have.
Dwelling on the things we don´t have, envying others, and blaming others is a recipe for sadness, anger, and misery. If you set out in life and accomplish 85% of what you value, isn´t that pretty good? Or do you live in regret over the 15% that, for whatever reason, you never got?
Neither is the "right" formula for someone else´s life the right one for yours. You might envy someone else´s kids. They would like to have gotten the education and career that YOU have. Some get a mix; a good career and kids but probably not as much time to spend with the kids as they may like. And whether you like it or not, a lot of the final outcome isn´t clear for you until you reach the later stages in life. You can moan about it or accept your life is OK, not perfect, and enjoy the rest of it.

If she is a victim of anything it is that she has fallen for the leftist propaganda convincing her that she is not responsible for her own station in life and that anybody or anything other than she stood in her way of doing as she pleased.
I have known many successful career women and have drawn my own conclusions. The instinctive desires that served us well for a hundred thousand years didn´t vanish in a puff of smoke emanating from a pile of burning bras. I am glad that women can choose the career path that suits them and I accept that in the past they were compelled to stay within a narrow band of the normal curve and we are better off for embracing a wider range of choices.
But that’s not what happened. We shamed women for choosing traditional roles and blew smoke up the you know whats of those who broke the barriers to the point of virtual worship. This was all done to serve the communist left. They knew they couldn’t transform us without breaking down the family unit. Antonio Gramsci laid out that plan, Saul Alinsky incorporated it into his road map. We had to be convinced that we wanted to have both parents working so our children could be more under the control of the state and we could pay for the great society’s dependent class.
It had to be cool rather that truthful: We are going to steal your wealth by using inflation to force a second income on you and to assure that succeeds, we are going to shame women if they dare resist accepting their new job of supporting the welfare state.

Excellent piece. Embedded links are well worth reading too.
So many young women have bought into the feminist lies of the 1960s. I fear for these women, and for our dying country and culture.

She´s a prefesser of baloney. Who´d a known that one could waste away fertility chasing a dream made of bull? Think of the sperm donors she could have ruined.

As pathetic as this woman is, the article gives me hope. It demonstrates why liberalism, progressivism, Marxism, et al, will never fully succeed, and is doomed to ultimate failure. The very nature of these ideologies is at odds with the essence of human biology, psychology and sociology. It is why those on the left are so deeply unhappy. For their ideas to be implemented, they must be made mandatory, under pain of fines, imprisonment or death; they are not natural laws. The very nature of mankind will always yearn for that which we were designed, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.

The tenure process is supposed to be grueling, because it grants lifetime employment.
Whining about it is ridiculous.

Read the article. You´ll realize that the only word to describe her is -- loser.
She´s bitter. She´d be bitter no matter what happens. That makes her a loser.

Hate ages you. I looked her up on google and I saw her photos and thought she was in her 50´s. She is only 38. Holy moly. Also she can still have children for some time, so what is the beef? She sounds like a typical left wing whiner in the article. Blaming everyone else for her unhappiness.

If she is really only 38, she could certainly still have children. She could adopt. I know women who are older than she is who have adopted as single parents. Or just have a child on her own. I know that rubs a lot of people the wrong way, but if she can afford it, she could do it. If she doesn´t want to do that, she needs to own her choice, because it is a choice.

My alma mater. Oy vey.
As noted, there are lots of kids available to adopt. Laura Ingraham did it, so can you, Perfesser.

Looking at her, I’d say Brittney Cooper‘s window of opportunity for attracting a man was about the length of a Lipozene commercial.
