Air Force Academy hires feminist ideologue to teach course on gender
A controversial professor who critics say is a feminist ideologue is instructing cadets at the United States Air Force Academy this year on gender issues as the military attempts to curb sexual assault.
Dr. Chris Kilmartin, a psychology professor at the University of Mary Washington, has described violence as “a men’s issue,” called abuse by men “the single most serious health problem for women in the United States,” and said the sexes are not “opposite.” Critics say he has embellished statistics to support his teachings.
Kilmartin also told New York Times columnist Frank Bruni last month that comments such as telling a boy that he “throws like a girl” represent “the cultural undercurrent of rape.”
Kilmartin is teaching two sections of a course titled, “Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Men and Masculinity” at the Air Force Academy (AFA) and will assist with violence prevention efforts in a volunteer role during the 2013-2014 academic year. He will receive $95,997 in private funds to teach at the AFA this year through the academy’s visiting professor program.
