This isn't that shocking when you consider what is being taught in universities today.

"A newly hired Boston University professor several anti-white comments she made on Twitter, but the school says she is simply practicing free speech."

"Incoming Boston University assistant professor of sociology and African-American studies, Saida Grundy, says white males are a “problem population.”

"“White masculinity isn’t a problem for America’s colleges, white masculinity is THE problem for America’s colleges,” Ms. Grundy tweeted in March."

She also uses feminist terms like "cis".

This is the real crux of the matter. As a child her parents didn't tell her no. There was no strong male figure around and her two helicopter moms probably protected her from the entire world. Unable to face any adversity, she went to college as a child and so when adult life hit her, she isn't able to act like an adult who knows how to say yes and no.

On top of all that she is female and feminist. . .

I think it's because young women are taught that they are all perfect and beautiful, and thus are not at all equipped to handle any sort of adversity.

She probably got pumped and dumped. Feelings hurt = rape. I honestly think it's as simple as that.

These women are a disgrace, for trivializing a terrible crime and their willingness to trash a man's reputation because of their poor, hurt feelings.

I have an idea, maybe she should text the guy to fuck her in the butt, get fucked by all his friends, then when he wants nothing to do with her carry a mattress around campus under a school project called "carry that weight" demanding that the guy be expelled.

Nah, that's just too absurd to be taken seriously.

This is insane. The comments seem to have more negativity toward her than positivity. This is the best one that I thought was worth sharing for those who hadn't seen it.

Jordan, child - and make no mistake, this twaddle could only come from the mind of a child - you need to go to every adult in your life, parents, teachers, mentors, etc. and demand an apology and - where applicable - a refund. They have utterly and completely failed to prepare you for the real world.

"it isn’t always our choice to say yes."

Allow one of my mentors to rebut:

"Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." -Robert A. Heinlein.

"finding ‘no’ is a process,"

One would hope that it is a rather quick one. "No" is, after all, one of the shorter words in the English language. Perhaps you need some practice. Stand in front of a mirror for an hour or so and just keep saying no to your reflection. Then, when someone asks you to do something that you don't want to do, just revert to your training and say "No." It's OK. Some people might not react too well - and once you've got simple negation under your belt you can graduate to the more complex "No, thank you" - but that's entirely on them. YOU are not responsible for anyone else's actions or feelings.

For me, and many others like me, consent isn’t easy. Yes doesn’t always mean yes, and we misplaced ‘no’ several years ago.

Consent is a privilege, and it was built for wealthy, heterosexual, cis, white,

It's a wonder these women ever get anything done with this kind of cyclical, irrational thinking.

So a college student tries to put a spin on a controversial topic by attempting to rationalize something that is complete nonsense... and now all the feminists have jumped on the bandwagon because they believe it's now plausible?

Flavor of the week. Depending on their mood, tomorrow they'll be back to telling us yes means maybe, maybe not.



The rationalization definition from Wiki puts it well:

Quote:

In psychology and logic, rationalization (also known as making excuses) is a defense mechanism in which controversial behaviors or feelings are justified and explained in a seemingly rational or logical manner to avoid the true explanation, and are made consciously tolerable – or even admirable and superior – by plausible means. It is also an informal fallacy of reasoning.

Rationalization happens in 2 steps:

A decision, action, judgement is made for a given reason, or no (known) reason at all (in cases for instance of dogmatic judgement or normal behavior).

A rationalization is perfomed, constructing an seemingly good or logical reason, as an attempt to justify the act after the fact (for oneself or others). Rationalization encourages irrational or unacceptable behavior, motives, or feelings and often involves ad hoc hypothesizing.

What we need to do is keep exposing these types of irrational "opinion pieces" for what they really are, nonsense. Nothing to see here, moving on here...

Amusing.

My dystopian idea about the future is that boys will be given a Ritalin-like drug to keep them from being sexual.

In the same way some kids aren't allowed in school without taking Ritalin, boys won't be allowed in without this drug, because of the threat of "sexual violence." This will include college, and eventually it will make its way into the workplace.

So. . . basically, SOMA? (without the fun Orgy Porgy part )
