Giuseppe Valiante, The Canadian PressMONTREAL -- Plans to celebrate a Concordia University college's 40th anniversary are in disarray after the school decided to disinvite a Harvard professor because of his controversial views on feminism.
"The invitation was a surprise, and the rejection less of one, because I am a white male conservative professor," Mansfield wrote in the newspaper April 15. "We are saddened that some alumni of the thought it appropriate to attempt to silence a scholar with whose views they happen to disagree," their letter read. "We are also saddened that their attempt was successful."
In a May 2016 interview with conservative author and commentator Bill Kristol, Mansfield described manliness as "the person who likes to be in charge of situations of risk. He has a take-charge attitude .... Most manly persons are men, but not all. My big example is Margaret Thatcher. Very manly, very assertive in situations of risk. But still, mostly men -- but not all men."
