guy who labeled 'career-oriented women "medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome"' brought to Florida

Florida's anti-woke agenda has been mostly discussed with respect to African Am and LGBT, Now I think we'll see women in the cross hairs.

Boise State professor Scott Yenor takes a Florida-based job with a conservative think tank


In an October 2021 speech to a National Conservatism Conference in Orlando, Fla., Yenor labeled career-oriented women as “medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome,” and called colleges and universities “citadels of our gynocracy,” undermining the traditional family.

(UPDATED, 12:25 p.m., to report that Yenor remains a Boise State University faculty member.)

Scott Yenor has taken a Florida-based job with a conservative think tank seeking to “stop woke policies” at the state level.


However, the polarizing political science professor remains a Boise State University faculty member, a university spokesman said Thursday afternoon.


The Claremont Institute announced Yenor’s hire over Twitter Wednesday, saying Yenor will be the think tank’s inaugural senior director of state coalitions. The job will be based in Tallahassee, Fla.

“The Claremont Institute has been fighting to stop woke policies and Florida is on the frontlines of that fight,” the group tweeted Wednesday. “We are thrilled to help Gov. (Ron) DeSantis and his legislative allies continue this important work.”

Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis tweeted as well; “Thrilled to welcome @scottyenor from the Claremont Institute to his new home in Tallahassee.”

But Yenor, a Boise State faculty member since 2000, has not left the university.

“Professor Scott Yenor is on sabbatical from Boise State University and remains a faculty member,” university spokesman Mike Sharp said Thursday.

It would be wise to give them the full COINTELPRO treatment.

(Also, I couldn't help but notice the governor's wife put herself forward. According to her husband, is it a wife's role to make public pronouncements in this forward manner? I would think not. I thought these people believe that a wife's role is to remain silent and in the background.)
