Many students want to feel like victors on campus, right before they wind up with dead-end jobs in the rat race.

The problem here is not feminism. It’s the rather new university atmosphere of caked-on “fear” rearing its ugly head. Instead of engaging others’ arguments, many people in the current collegiate generation have decided that claiming one has been placed in an “unsafe” environment by the “offending” ideas is a more…

Labor issues don’t jack shit for black women? Are you for real?

A satirist named Will Durst once had a bit that might as well be eternal now. He said that the Conservatives would always win because their mandate was “I want that. Give it to me. It’s MINE!” while the Liberals would always make sure that everything was safe for the spotted owl and the dolphins and wasn’t racially…

Actually the term survivor kind of annoys me too. It’s so... precious. Like something your touchie-feely hippie teacher would come up with. I feel the same way about safe spaces and trigger warnings. Just no. Maybe it’s a generational thing. I feel like anyone under the age of 30 is just a special snowflake that has…

I agree 100%. Kipnis’ piece is a bit long and I’m still reading it but I can see her points. And even if I don’t end up agreeing with everything she says, how is this grounds for any kind of complaint??? These students sound insane. Not, not insane. They sound bored. That’s what my mom would say. These are the…

No. Can’t tolerate different viewpoints and it’s not just the consent stuff, they also want trigger warnings and to police professors and what they can and can’t teach, lest these delicate flowers be exposed to any form of thinking that doesn’t mesh 100% with their ideology. They’re like the feminist taliban.

Feminists and white men are natural enemies. Like feminists and black men! Or feminists and trans women! Or feminists and white feminists! Or feminists and other feminists! Damn feminists! They ruined feminism!

After reading this post I read Kipnis’ essay, and came here prepared to be unpopular in my opinion of support. Thankfully, after reading through the comments I breathe a sigh of relief that the world isn’t as dire as I had feared. The problem with the lawsuit and protest goes beyond feminism, it speaks to the level of…

This reminds me of my first experience with my fellow college student feminists. The university’s feminist center was staging a production of the Vagina Monologues (as-ya-do) and a smaller subset of feminists protested the production over a perceived bias against women of color and LGBTQA in casting the show. The…

sacred cows are the death of any movement.

When you do get off it give it to these students! So they can maybe also try responding to ideas with.....other ideas! Like the little scholars they aren’t. Instead of bringing frivolous lawsuits. More soapboxes for everyone, i’m srsly.

It is a stunning example of feminism devouring itself.

Feminists and other feminists are natural enemies. Just like brothers and sisters.

I was thinking Tumblr.

It is a stunning example of feminism devouring itself.

Read this earlier, and just, wow.

I mean, I was an idiot and a bad person in college too. But I never felt like I had the ability to try to ruin somebody’s life because... well, not because they didn’t agree with me, exactly, but because they agreed with me, but not on every exact thing.

Title IX is one of the greatest…

“symbolically incoherent” is a phrase that a lot of college students need to have in their head when they plan their activism, just saying.

What bums me out most about this is that the question of consent laws, “spheres of victimhood” and the worry about infantilization is SUCH an important and interesting one (and…

Sigh...this is why we can’t have “nice” things. Agree or disagree, fine. But really, this kind of thing just adds more fuel to the Rush Limblah army—”Feminazis!” he’ll cry, while sitting on his mountain of money. And the real issues will be swept under the rug as usual.

This is really ridiculous. I’m all for college students speaking out against abuse or hate speak, but this was simply a critically thinking professor who has a different stance/opinion than some other campus feminists. Feminism is not a monolith! We are all allowed to have different feminist beliefs!!
