Every movement has it's breaking point. #MeToo hit the roadblock with ridiculous accusations against Aziz Ansari. I suspect the modern-day feminist wave will ultimately collapse the minute inequitable legislation is proposed.

self-interest

I mean

many claim arguing or offending someone is assault

so

Words are offensive!

Hollywood's currently facing diminishing returns at the box office for overtly feminist films. Hopefully we'll begin to see universities and academic institutions return to reason with the rise of feminist beliefs encroaching on student's freedoms

But that's probably 5 years off

I'd outright leave the school if I was forced to be taught that shit

And leave them legit feedback

It comes back to the argument of personal freedoms over offending sensibilities.

I doubt that will happen anytime soon, im graduating in 2 weeks in computer science, and even then Ive seen a lot of dumbass sjw shit

I'm better off getting an apprenticeship and networking than being taught about if someone feels like a girl or boy and how I should feel like that too

And reason doesn't always prevail - Oxford just banned clapping at graduation ceremonies.

yeah i did read that

"yes we prepare you for the workingi ndustry"

"but sir, we cant clap"

^^^ college that won't get me or my kids money ~~when I do have them that is~~

Not all colleges are indoctrinated in this nonsense. It's predominantly alive and well in liberal arts universities. I can personally attest to trade schools focusing on educating students to learn life skills.

It's when intersectionality and identity politics trickle down into grad schools that I become concerned.

Life skills are a necessity and just for example. I'd love to take a cooking class because I suck at cooking as is! Won't pursue it as a career mind you, but experience is what I find valuable in education.

well idk man, have you seen the debate team racist nonsense?

In WSU yeah

Its absolutely amazing to see

"space does not exist because I haven't experienced it"

Bitch I had better argumentation in middle school

If its become that infected in a school like that in such a logic focused area, id say its fair to assume its the norm in most unis

Reducing an argument to race, sex, sexual preference, economic status, or religion is typically the fastest cop-out to presenting a substantive point. It's a common defense tactic that's usually defeated by doubling-down on the argument over the individual

Also the professor did not teach anything, he simply wanted to provide his own talking points to his students to win rather than let them develop their own thoughts and back them up in a competitive setting. He simply wanted puppets to keep competing while indoctrinating them

Nap time

I've engaged with professors who hold similar viewpoints at universities. It's easier to simply ignore the tripe and get work done.

Nite Roo

thats the issue though, since most people do not want to talk back due to the repercussions having the bad rep with a professor entails, they let it slide. Which in turn allows them to get away with more stupid shit

The equivalent of appeasement imo

I'm the type of person who'd ignore obvious ignorance or stupidity, can't fix stupid

Yeah id agree most of the time its the best course of action

Most people want to say their thoughts aloud, not actually discuss

That's why imo good way would be one professor teaches and any assignments should be reviewed externally

Or anonymous

But in the place where youre supposed to be allowed to experiment with any train of thought without fear of repercussions or prejudice, not being able to fucking stay in a classroom for begging to differ and explaining yourself? Fuck man

Evergreen college is the best example of what happens when you allow race to become the focus of your academic institution
