Woke ASU Professors Discuss ‘Forced Breeding Camps,’ Artificial Pregnancy, and a Future Without Capitalism During Campus Event
Arizona State University English Professor Jenny Irish and the director of ASU’s Academy of Lactation Programs, Angela Lober, cohosted a campus event to discuss a collection of prose poems about an artificial womb’s pregnancy and abortion.
On August 30, 2024, The College Fix highlighted the professors in an article titled “U.S. ‘hates women,’ faces future of cannibalism, ‘forced breeding campus’: ASU event.” Irish’s book “Hatch” was the topic of discussion.
Northwestern University Press described Irish’s book as “groundbreaking feminist poems featuring an artificial womb and an apocalyptic future.” The publisher also said the poems examine female identity through the cultural lens of motherhood.
Lober told The College Fix that she “got into this space because the United States hates women and everything the female body does.” In a similar nonsensical fashion, Irish was quoted stating that “forced breeding camps” and “cannibalism” were the future of human civilizations.”
The following excerpts were taken from Irish’s book.
This poem describes an impregnated artificial womb:
This one appears to describe an abortion from the artificial womb’s perspective:
A link to the original Zoom discussion could not be located online. However, AZ Free News said the event consisted of Irish reading from “Hatch” followed by the conversation with Lober that veered into other controversial topics such as “transgenderism,” “climate change,” and “misinformation.”
No accounts of the event revealed any educational value during the discussion. Conservative attorney and writer Jonathan Turley called Irish and Lober’s rhetoric a “dystopian vision of America…that apparently can be avoided by ‘dismantal[ing] capitalism’ and ‘elect[ing] a female president.’”
Turley’s article concludes that the anti-capitalism portion of the event could feed the increasing call for socialism among younger generations. He remarked that an alternative point of view upholding “the merits of capitalism” would have resulted in a more educational discussion that proved more beneficial to the academic community.
