York University sets the bar low because challenging the intellectual assumptions of the student body is considered an act of ‘violence’. Read that right folks, hearing alternative world views will negatively affect student safety… at a University.
“Two days before I was due to travel to York, the event was cancelled. Days earlier the student union had removed the details of the event from the website, mumbling about ‘thorough risk assessments’. Essentially, they’re worried about spending more money on security for these events, so the organisers then usually cancel because they are then liable for the additional cost incurred.
This group of airheads have decided that I would be their maximum of 5/5 likelihood to breach the university’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy. The fact that I am a woman of working-class origin, an out lesbian, and a lifelong feminist is obviously irrelevant to these privileged kids who think being pansexual or non-binary is an oppression.
Some choice quotes from student activists on the Student Solidarity Network Instagram account include: ‘Julie Bindel’s whole career is founded in supporting the mass homicide of sex workers.’ I was called a ‘bigot’, ‘dangerous’, and someone that regularly peddles hate speech and incitement to violence against marginalised groups. I was also labelled a homophobe and a misogynist, with over 40 years of my campaigning against male violence and women’s oppression dismissed.
If this anti-democratic, censorious bullying is allowed to continue, universities will become nothing more than breeding ground for men’s rights activists. We must put an end to it.”
The coddling bullshit is real. The softheaded trigger warned genderation is pathetic.
Males, regardless of how they identify, should stay out of female only spaces. Every inch of what it means to be a free female in society has been fought for by women for decades and yet here we have Mr.Douchy-McManwig shitting all over he notion of females setting their own boundaries and having them respected.
Do you know why trans identified men will never be women? It’s because they have no notion of what it is actually like living as female in our society – if they did – they wouldn’t do bullshit like this.
“What was going through Weyant’s [second place female] head as she was trying to chase down Thomas? That’s something that would be interesting to get from the competitor. We do know that Thomas left her own Penn teammates in tears as they prepared to race the biological male all the while knowing they were about to be destroyed by Thomas.
“They feel so discouraged because no matter how much work they put in it, they’re going to lose. Usually, they can get behind the blocks and know they out-trained all their competitors and they’re going to win and give it all they’ve got,” a Penn swimmer told OutKick in December.
Weyant clearly gave it all she had Thursday night. ESPN’s Rowdy Gaines saw it. The swimming world saw it. And yet it was Thomas flat-out stealing the 500 freestyle national championship from a biological female because the spineless NCAA wouldn’t rewrite its rules to prevent something like what happened to Weyant.
Not to many things are as completely patriarchal as a man being given social permission to put his gender feelings ahead of the safeguarding of women and children and be *lauded* for it.
In no sane world is this acceptable.
It’s so darn easy. :)
