If you wonder how the feminists are able to grind out so many books and studies that feed their peculiar biases, one place to look is gravy train of federal funding. Here is a list of just some of the tax-funded grants given to feminist studies by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The following grants are quoted directly from the NEH’s last available annual report. They are labeled “independent study and research in the humanities,” but in truth they are just federal handouts to feminists in academia.

None of these grants is worth one dollar of our tax money. If these individuals want to pursue their pet projects, they should do it on their own money; or, as an alternative, they can try to get some university to accept their paper as a Ph.D. thesis.
Giving out tax dollars for such stuff is a cheat on the taxpayers as well as a subsidy to feminist propaganda. There are no NEH grants for such non-feminist topics as The Social Value of the Fulltime Mother, How Gender Identity Plays an Important Role in a Functioning Family, The Husband-Breadwinner/Wife-Homemaker Roles in the Building of America, How the American Private Enterprise System Has Lifted “Women’s Work” from American Women, or the Social Consequences of Sending Mothers of New Babies Into War Areas.
