How fainting couch feminism threatens freedom | FACTUAL FEMINIST

[@kizzume]

I'm so glad that reasonable feminists like you are making videos.

[@EveleenOMalleyLadyoftheRealm]

Kizzume Fowler I couldn't agree more.

[@Curas1]

This is the type of feminism I can support.

[@EvilLuisito]

Kizzume Fowler I wish there was a lot more who spoke up against third wave feminism.

[@Curas1]

Vulcan Hades jeez, go look at my channels im subbed to, I about covered them all.

[@DanielBMS]

Kizzume Fowler Yes I am very disappointed that the sex positive feminists are not speaking up enough.

[@mariokarter13]

*TRIGGER WARNING:* INTELLECTUAL DISCUSSION

[@willettadiscovers3580]

haaaaaaah

[@nocap4]

*internal bleeding* ahem... I meant *triggered*

[@nightmareofkaitos]

Death From Above you mean internal bleating right.

[@josevanga666]

EXACTLY! Well said!

[@spinosauruskin]

"I'm a strong, independent woman but I need trigger warnings!" As an MRA, I have found that the women of the MRM are the strong women feminism promised. They don't need trigger warnings.

[@The-Vay-AADS]

spinosauruskin what is MRA and MRM? i am not familiar with english abbreviations. :) thx

[@spinosauruskin]

M3G4G0TH Men's Rights Activist and Men's Rights Movement. We deal specifically with legal discrimination against men.

[@jessicaberry5596]

M3G4G0TH Men's Rights Activist and Men's Rights movement, if I'm not mistaken

[@cartohead]

spinosauruskin Yep! On HuffPoo, when I describe my Mom, my sister and my daughter (who are all tough as nails, fiercely powerful and NOT feminists) feminists are compelled to counter it, that they are really oppressed and suffer from internalized misogyny, or that I made them up. Feminism hates womyn.

[@roelani]

Vyktor Dreygo That's never going to fly though, because our experiences are meaningless in the face of ~systematic~ cultural oppression and whatever we say will be instantly shot down because of ~privilege~. This is why the hug-box safe-spaces work. Because they echo-chamber the shit out of each other and reinforce, ironically enough, the same message of WEAKNESS. Never mind the fact that everybody deals with adversity differently. It doesn't matter anymore, because all they can hear is echoes. Honestly, it's a little terrifying, at this point. And sad. Because they are pushing away actual women of power from the very movement they claim to represent. I mean, fuck. When BasedMom tells you to shut up and look at what you're doing because you're being a poopy-head, you damn well shut up and examine your poopy-headed actions. Really now.

[@Repzion]

My puppy heard you speak and now is triggered to death. dammit.

You know, Korean food is pretty good.

[@Spikey_Buddy]

***** When my cat hears you speak, he gets triggered and cowers under my bed. Ah, I'm joking! You're cool.

[@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr]

I agree with her. If you're going to go back to time before women had jobs, the stock market would go way down?

[@geekgroupie42]

i did social work at uni and if we were having class on an upsetting issue like sexual assault or child abuse the lecturer would say something like, "if you get upset by this topic feel free to go outside for a bit". at the time i thought this was a nice, sensible thing to do. now i understand that it was negligent for the campus not to supply us with a chaise lounge and a panic room. i'm filing a complaint!

[@burningisis]

Thank you again Factual Feminist for bringing some sanity to the crazy that is invading our college campuses. I attended a liberal all womens college in the 90s and saw some of the feminist hysteria. The allegations that the thesaurus was wrong (brought to me by my creative writing professor, she wound up hating me as I wrote purposely inflammatory essays just to "trigger" her) and that women were constantly under assault. On an all womens' campus, they handed out rape whistles and spent a week in our orientation speaking on the dangers of men. We truly need more level headed feminists like you Christina. We need to encourage our young women that they can be whatever they choose to be. But their choices, not the patriarchy, shape society. I chose to get a degree in the sciences. I chose to have an occupation in technology. And I earn the same money and have the same opportunities that my male counterparts have. Please dont stop the good work that you're doing in the name of keeping feminism active, and level headed

[@YukonHexsun]

I am an 18 year old, heterosexual, white male who's about to be going to college in Oregon. I am not at all looking forward to these reactionary idiots, because I live in their BREEDING GROUNDS. To top that off, I'm an Egalitarian who opposes feminism. I love your videos Christina, you're definetly a breath of fresh are in the face of so many psycho, radical pseudo-feminists. I can't say that I agree with your (I assume) conservatism, but it's still nice to hear.

[@Vampyrekai]

TheGreatYukon Stay safe. Date off-campus.

[@YukonHexsun]

Vampyre Kai I have no dating game, I"ma have to meet women at Magic the Gathering games or somethin. If so, I'm gonna need to actually get good.

[@bluespirit0786]

TheGreatYukon Make sure to go into STEM, they haven't quite invaded that far (It would take more work and motivation and logic than they all have combined). Good luck with Gen Ed requirements. May the force be with you.

[@TheSharpeful]

TheGreatYukon "I"ma have to meet women at Magic the Gathering games or somethin." Isn't that like people who go to Mcdonnalds for the salads?

[@YukonHexsun]

TheSharpeful You ass XD

[@daltonroller2998]

Mrs. Sommers, so far you are the one of the ONLY feminists I listen to. And I agree with your point wholeheartedly.

[@KungFuHustling]

Camille Paglia

[@tracesprite6078]

Diana Davison is really worth listening to. She defends men who have been falsely accused of rape or violence. And Karen Straughan is great, too. Don't forget Bettina Arndt in Australia. She has been fighting for men's rights valiantly for years.

[@swinglow6580]

You know.... To say you have ptsd over something so little as this lovely woman speaking the truth... Is such a huge insult to those that truly have ptsd. People in horrible car accidents, losing your buddy in combat.. Getting your own limbs blown off or running in a burning house. That's down right disgusting, you dont know the plight of those people that have had to witness what most American citizens will never, ever have to see.

[@GreyException]

Right? Same with those who post false rape statistics and promote the idea that we somehow live in a scary rape-culture in need of dire fixing. I wouldn't doubt myself by saying that a large majority of them are not and will never be rape victims.

[@italia689]

And those are the people who actually need trigger warnings. "Trigger warnings for all" seriously lessen their value!

[@mothermaryssongmicheal479]

Kristopher Workman preach it to the heavens! Strong women existed long before feminism corrupted us, and we'll will exist long after the loonies are gone.

[@xFREEEDO]

C Hoff Somm is _scary_ lmfao gtfoh. Isn't the point of an education to strengthen critical thinking? That stressful feeling of anxiety when confronted with an argument shouldn't been ran from, that's the synapses in your brain _working_ .

[@cardsharkaa]

***** No, that's actually the patriarchy.

[@jcnot9712]

My little kitten, Ms. Woofy, got a PTSD from this triggering offensive video. This doesn't end here; you'll be hearing from her Cattorney soon Mrs. Hoff Sommers.

[@joejones9497]

JC Not Thank you for that important mews report. Woffy has had a purrfectly clawful experience indeed.

[@jcnot9712]

Joe Joeseph I thought nothing paw-sitive would come out of this. But Ms. Woofy's CatStarter is at 400k and still going up after just a few days. Now I don't have to worry about paying for her clawyers. Wish us luck on our case against Hoff Sommers and the cat-triarchy please :)

[@trapper9998]

+JC Not I gotta say sure calling a cat after the noise a dog makes didn't start the cycle (sorry its a lame dig but just one i had to make, hope your cat is better)

[@jcnot9712]

trapper9998 Ms. Woofy enjoys a reasonably quiet life nowadays, despite the occasional cat-calling now and then down the streets of NYC. Thanks for worrying :-)

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

MultiItman the sad part is :/ ...... this is real life now they are doing this at the collages but i am sure they will be moving it in to the work place in to the homes in to a fucking restaurant i bet this is how they see the world and they won't stop and if you try to stop them you are then deem a rapist supporter

[@TheLuckySaGe]

[@bceaser1]

Titus Orelius don't worry...they will....give it another hour...lol

[@Krrypton]

Titus Orelius 795 and counting. Methinks they've been too triggered by the patriarchal misogynistic Victorian title to even have time to click tumbs-down before getting a PTSD attack, clutch their pearls in sheer moral outrage and faint on the couch.

Titus Orelius Holy shit... Haven't seen you in a while.

[@Krrypton]

[@koenkeller]

Thank you Christina Hoff Sommers. I am really glad that you are out there.

[@Waifu4Life]

Scary part is that these students are suppose to be the future of your country.

[@mariasolorzano3705]

Thank you for speaking out on this. I have been thinking a lot about this lately and you have put my thoughts into spoken word perfectly. I am raising four children. The first one already has started college and it scares me what is being "taught" and enabled there. I pray the solid foundation and common sense I have instilled in them holds to the barrage of ridiculousness that is now considered college education.

[@EvilMonkey7818]

Everyone with a son should be very worried about the campus environment. I read about the 3rd wave feminists and used to just cringe or laugh. Now that I have a toddler boy, I fear for his future, especially if he wants to go away to college. The optimistic side of me says this insanity will fade out before he reaches college age. I hope this era is looked back on as shameful as it plainly is.

[@GreyException]

Is this really true? If so, I'm glad that a parent can see this glaring issue.

[@EvilMonkey7818]

GreyException The protests Christina Hoff Sommers mentions can be found here on KZbin. I figure before my toddler gets to college age, the psycho babble of today, the SJW lies have to have faded away. If it's somehow the same or even worse, all parents of boys should be very worried.

[@GreyException]

EvilMonkey7818 I have the same predicament/uncanny feeling in my stomach that you could call the "gut-feeling". I've given myself anxiety to the point where I can't physically sit or walk without physical discomfort, I actually find it intriguing yet incredibly frustrating. I just wish I could reverse time and never had gotten it in the first place. I really think this is correlated with the pressing issues that surround young males, and it's going to be a national, if not global topic of discussion.

[@EvilMonkey7818]

GreyException I'm surprised there aren't more parents fighting the hostile toward men environments of colleges today. My son is still just an infant and I'm optimistic their will be a backlash against the feminist/SJW nutjobs well before he's 18. The fight has already begun. Look at the popularity of Milo Yiannopoulos's "Dangerous Faggot" tour. Many people are revealing the insanity of SJWs and feminists here on KZbin. These videos criticizing and exposing the crazies are not going to ever stop. Keep that in mind. Only problem is the hostility toward boys begins much earlier than college. That's another issue unto itself. My wife has joked that I'm not allowed to talk to my son's future teachers if they want a parent/teacher conference. I'll be calling them cunts as I explain how foolish they are.

[@GreyException]

EvilMonkey7818 I would like to say I am, but I'm not. For as long as I can remember, from every single end, parents, school, media, peers, for many hot topics of debate, I felt/feel largely secluded due to my inability to conclude based on limited information. *There is literally only one person in this world (who I guess, should be considered one of my best friends) where we can both exchange thoughts/opinions without drowning out each other's voice with the vocal equivalent of plugging fingers in the ears and stomping our feet on the ground- which is what a majority of society tends to do.* I noticed that parents argued a lot. I asked myself, why? The answer I concluded at that age- *People get angry over silly things, they get emotional, they don't want to back down and refuse to analyze the situation, they want to be right, all the time*- well, except for when the big boss comes in @ work, but that's mostly irrelevant. It's under my belief (given my forever limited experiences) that finding self-aware parents is like finding a needle in a haystack. Self-awareness in general, not as common as I would like it to be. I just think that the lack of self-awareness is a common thread and definite negative contributor when discussing any issue or having any argument with anybody. In tangent with parents who take the hard work route, they have little to no time, and when they do, they want to relax- which is completely understandable. They live, to work. Well more specifically, "he". I'll quote his words verbatim "Do your fucking research", "Unlike you, I actually do my research, it's backed by law, by facts, by science"- all of these generally said at random moments, never being tied directly to anything I've said so I can't defend myself in any way. Probably just displaying a typical common fallacy, thinking that his competence in his field = competence everywhere else. Still annoying to hear from my own father though, and it just goes to show what type of parents are out there. Man... sorry for this long post lmao, I have a habit of expelling more than what people want to read. I'm more optimistic than I was a few months ago even. Just watching Sommers talk about feminism in a non-cringe-inducing way was stress-relieving.

[@christopherallman6495]

Once again, thank you so much for your thoughtful and compassionate brilliance! Lets hope 'Fainting Couch Feminism' enters the culture as a term for something we all want to avoid!

[@jamesthenabignumber]

The best video of this series, I think, Christina! Plenty of new and succinct ways of explaining the problem with modern 'social justice'. Many quotable prhases, but my favourite was, 'this psycho-drama is massively embarrassing to women [and] to feminism'.

[@shaylaesarey3032]

The "safe space" used to be a place where you could voice an unpopular opinion without fear of being shut down, not hide from ideas completely. It pains me that this is where we have come.

[@chrisw7188]

once upon a time, people pursued higher education to expose themselves to new and innovative ideas. nowadays, people persued higher education to shelter themselves from new and innovative ideas.

[@Iamvalcristvalentine]

Amazing work as always, keep doing what you do. It is nice to know someone of your distinction has maintained their perspective of reality.

[@deyjay5]

Thank you Christina. It's nice to see there are still some THINKING people in the world.

[@JadeSune]

Ahoy! As a student, I've never been afraid to challenge, speak my mind, etc. Everyone's behaved (more or less) politely and well-mannered, which surprises me, despite the content of my contradiction. Students seem to be a lot safer in the realm of inquiry than teachers when expressing views against the ridiculous femi-liberal-cultural marxists.

Timing. I just read far and away the funniest shit I've ever read on the internet. IMDB review of Pixar movie "Inside Out" demanding a trigger warning: www.imdb.com/user/ur18480325/ I totally lost it when I got to the part about the service dog.

[@TheGeckoNinja]

[@CaptinHavoc1]

IRONMANAustralia Movies triggering an emotional response from the viewer? That sounds like the fucking goal of a movie, for serious! If you feel nothing when watching a movie, the movie fucked up. PTSD was triggered by how exactly? The sadness character being a thing or something? What was so scary in that movie that caused a mental disorder?

[@Loathomar]

[@jcnot9712]

[@GreyException]

This video puts a piece of my mind at ease... to know that I wasn't alone in thinking practically everything that was talked about here. It's worse than going back in time- in addition, they want their piece of the cake, and they want to eat it too.

[@alsoknownas875]

Omigod Christina I love you.

[@vexinglex4996]

I only have an opinion to share on this but here goes: This video is amazing. I love how so many women are speaking out against this kind of feminism. I believe in equality and justice but there's no such thing perpetuated when one group of people have sway over the vast majority (such as colleges and even whole websites) simply because they are louder, more radical (or violent) in their methods, or simply far more persistent and overt. You do not have to be a feminist to give or receive respect. You don't need to be loud or boisterous to be heard. You can be angry, you can be hurt, and you can certainly choose to do it naked or scantily dressed... But it's your responsibility to take the consequences of such actions and you certainly shouldn't ignore the rest of the world when they've turned their backs on such madness.

[@DoomRulz]

Christina, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how all of this craziness first started. I've seen a documentary on the origins of Cultural Marxism and how it's created what we today call political correctness, but I feel your input would be invaluable. How about that TED talk I asked about last year, eh? ;) P.S. I hope to see you in Toronto sometime. I know CAFE would love to have you. Let me know if I can assist as I volunteer with them from time to time.

[@tracesprite6078]

If you read Jung Chang's book, "Wild Swans" it shows how the cultural revolution swept through China, creating hysteria just like this present stage.

[@Lord_Sneetus]

I just completed a fairly comprehensive study on the life of the stoic Seneca. I can't begin to fathom the weight of anxiety he must have felt living in such close proximity to the wretched emperor Nero... I pull my head out of my books and I'm shocked to see this generation I grew up in riddled with weakness! My school, like the ones highlighted in this video, has turned its back on the very ideals of resilience and stoicism. Have we honestly learned nothing? I was planning on presenting a short speech on the reign of Nero, but now I'm worried that the intensity of his exploits will trigger the hell out of my classmates! Lord knows my last talk on wind energy upset more than a few... WIND ENERGY UPSETTING?!?! I never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait until I leave school...

[@maggiemcdowell8868]

[@samchandler2527]

Great as always. Key word? "Hijinks". I've seen some of your latest lectures, you show dignity and grace even to those who try to disrupt the talk. This is about control. The "hijinks" are females using feigned sensitivities to be able to pull the Damsel in Distress (Fear) card to exert authority over others. Spoiled Children raised in an atmosphere of disrespect. I wish I could say better for the right who use their god as a crutch or shield as the instance demands. That's Hijinks too. Exposure is important, issues are not. Every so often a clear voice in the white noise. Thanks Ms. Sommers

[@snuggles3927]

You make so much sense, it's unbelievable, and a breath of fresh air. I believe this type of feminism is more harmful to women than having no feminism at all. I thought women wanted to be treated equal, yet these people want super-special treatment? Regardless, keep spreading truth, and who knows; maybe you'll reach a few of them.

[@fuxyews2177]

Every time I hear a feminist (Not the lady in the video, I like her) I love my girlfriend just that little bit more, if it were possible ^^ I'm 5 feminist videos away from proposing at this point.. Feminism: Keeping relationships strong on the foundation that if you don't make your current one work --you could end up with one of them instead..

[@EdGloss]

In one of my graduate school classes, one woman mentioned rape culture (it was in a class taught by KC Johnson who was one of the citizen journalists who uncovered the truth in the Duke LaCrosse false rape case) and another woman who had genuinely never heard the term asked her to define the concept. The first woman went absolutely ballistic as thrthe question itself was literally the same as her being raped. At that time, I too did not understand the issues surrounding this debate and I couldn't understand what was so wrong, or indeed at all wrong, with the question. We have arrived at a point where merely asking a question is not allowed and the worst part is its happening in the place where inquiry is most vital; our institutions of higher learning. It has to stop.

[@Spartucus101]

I'm all for safe spaces. We need to construct these facilities as soon as possible. Outside the city to avoid cat calling. Put up tall fences to keep out the rapists and assaulters. Assign all admittances to a uni-sex stacked dormitory. Use color neutral uniforms and number occupants to avoid "labeling" anyone unjustly. Schedule regular showers in public showers stalls with guards to ensure safety. Secure safe transport to these facilities by train... Wait... this sounds familiar.... where have I heard this before.... I'm missing something....I feel like this is a really bad idea.....anyone? little help?...

[@sketchmania13]

Christina, if you're reading this, thank you for labelling yourself as a feminist. Honestly, the world needs to see we're not all crazy, unreasonable and irrational. Your videos give insight and most importantly a space for dialogue, instead of just people shouting over one another. The ability to accept that people may have different views on this subject to you is refreshing and, unfortunately in this day and age, a much needed example.

[@xjuhox]

Dear Christina: power comes with numbers (e.g. Muslims or safe-space-feminists).

[@rharcus]

@Christina wonderful videos, this one in particular has a great ending: "if you feel safe about doing it please follow me" and "I hope I haven't triggered anyone" I still don't understand the concept of 'triggering' or 'micro-aggressions', the whole thing seems made up to me.

[@danielboyas7645]

To sum up her last few sentences. Get REKT feminists.

[@Podeon2013]

Great video. Thank you.

[@Officialhelpkenet]

You are a gift to real feminism. Thank you!

[@joshX200]

Christina... Is there any way to get you to come talk at a campus, because I would just be so overjoyed if the people on my campus were able to here you talk about these issues and give them the logic and reasoning that can open their perspective! I always think to myself that the people I go to college are intellectual and logical people because they are going on to get their higher education, yet so many of the students have such skewed ideas of reality thanks to this new age feminism that is just poisoning their minds. I really feel like these people need to hear this information from a ration leading female figure to really get the point across, and you do it so well!

[@patrickpepin8577]

i cant get enough of this wonderful lady

[@alig5820]

You're awesome, Christina!

[@rodrigoserafim8834]

Just want to lend my support to you and what you are up against, I'm am sure it must not be easy. Honestly, at this point I would advocate for segregated colleges. The campus has become a minefield for men (just imagine if that teacher was male, he would be out of a job right now just like Tim Hunt). Boys are now walking targets for social blackmail and scapegoating. It will take tremendous amounts of self introspection to recover these students from the indoctrination of 20 years of radical feminist and post-modernist ideology. That will only be accomplished when these students are left to survive to their own devices.

[@FamusJamus]

Gotta respect Christina Sommers for doing all these videos. A lot of KZbinrs seem to resort to "Hey, look at what these idiots are doing now," while these videos actually talk about the consequences and effects of such things. It's easy to say "these people suck." Harder to say "these people suck because X and can do better by doing Y."

[@zarkoff45]

I'm glad I got my college education decades ago, this sounds like a crippling environment for both education and life.

[@eriksvensson8850]

Well. I for one, welcome our new fainting fragile overlords! And on a more serious note, as the local Patriarchy representative, I welcome these peoples input in the discussion on wether females are ruled by emotions or not! and on a even more serious note I weep for my kids (all boys) and the western world.

Honestly, I was thinking of getting my Masters and becoming a college prof. I think I'll still stick with it, but this does make me a little nervous.

[@proton8689]

I don't want to go to college, never did. But my mom thinks college is the same from 20 years ago

Don't let these, hysterical, hypocritical, authoritarian bullies stop you. Let their intolerance only serve to strengthen your resolve to insert reason into the dialogue. Much respect. Keep up the good work.

[@thegoodlydragon7452]

The Goodly Dragon Did I say "keep up the good work?" What I meant was, stop violating me by giving me things to think about. ;)

[@nathanielhibay6319]

well stated i gave a speech of this during a class and was met with and was met with horrible comments that i hated women but in fact was just speaking to protect their individual right as a person

And here I always thought trigger warnings were what the range officer gave you if you didn't practice good trigger discipline.

"Harmful conversation" This is actually a thing someone said.

Every time I heard about “safe space” come to my mind a calm and quiet room where there are cushions everywhere, where one can’t be harm and where anybody getting it the room is there to take care of this person... basically the same definition of a padded cell.

[@CGray-hw7su]

Wow, you are brilliant!

[@Chainsawkoneko]

you are such a peach. I love you, the part about triggering a dog had me laughing.

[@tenten1755]

I’m about to start high school and I hope that when I get in to a college this won’t happen, all I need my education and too expand my mind, not to be closed minded and full of my self, like safe space and, fainting chare like What may god assist them and open there mind that there is going to be racist stuff and discrimination but you can fight it just be open minded and have a strong emotion so nothing can hurt your feelings. College need to get there act together or I’m going to online college if there one I hope there one. Thank you so much for making this love your work.

Interesting you referenced Socrates there (3:15), is that related to his death sentence for "corrupting the minds of the youth of Athens"?

[@sitabita262]

I love you. Where do you teach? What do you teach? Please be what I'm majoring in so that I have an excuse to take all of your classes. I consider myself a feminist, but I want nothing to do with those crazy fanatics. I don't want to be associated with men-hating hypocrites who say women are strong one second then go on to say women can't handle debate or someone's lecture. I love critical debates. I love to learn and have my knowledge or understanding of something expanded upon. I love to be proven wrong, because that means I've learned something. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@MexiCayde-6]

I tried showing this series to my step mom. 5 seconds in and she started saying that it was a a lie and that Ms. Sommers was a conservative just being paid to say things. She then said I was being turned into a misogynistic woman hater. Despite how for so long I was being so nice to her. I couldn't even get a word in edge wise. It infuriated me that she wouldn't listen to my point of view.

[@GrahamCStrouse]

Well said!

[@thecontinental4049]

I remember that passage from the Phaedo: Socrates: There is no greater evil one can suffer than to hate reasonable discourse. Phaedo: Stop harassing me.

[@MissRora]

I quite like the snarky ending of this video. It's great to see someone who isn't intimidated by the "fainting couch feminists" (I may borrow that term in the future, it's quite fitting) and says what she thinks despite having dissenters protest her directly. American universities could learn a few things from you.

[@KDPhilosophy]

"Fainting Couch Feminism" is such a powerful and accurate description. its like a gift from the heavens.

[@SL4PSYM4XY]

I love your videos, tell those snowflakes like it is! (I'm old school socially liberal) and these new wave feminists and safe spacers are driving me crazy! Grow up kiddos!

[@Wortschmied]

with an ever growing list of things "taboo" to discuss on campus, I fear they may soon outlive their usefulness. You go there to learn but if all you learn is gender politics and how to not offend anyone ever (impossible lol), that time could be used to hone skills that will help you in life.

[@Johnny-ty1dg]

Well said. Agree. I'm pleasantly surprised at the ratio of likes to dislikes on this post.

[@TagSpamCop]

Surrounded by all this insanity, CHS still manages to put her case with grace and humor.

[@RyzaJunior]

These are great videos. I never thought all this crazy feminist stuff I see online would affect lil' ol' me until I went to the orientation for my transfer to university and they made a big deal about sexual harassment and "affirmative consent" of flirting and such. May as well sign an agreement. I'd love it if Christina Hoff Sommers came to speak at my campus (Cal Poly Pomona). I shouldn't have to be fearful of just living my day to day life because of these angry women that are offended by everything.

[@MrKeynesIan]

While this video went well appreciated, I really hope you get to discuss the recent Washington Post study on sexual assault on college campuses. It seems to refute some of your previous points and opinions on the topic, and I'd like to see your response.

[@Redgoo2]

There is a phrase that goes " how weak do you have to be that words can hurt you"

[@moenaut]

I'm not going to attend university /because/ of all this crap. I kinda wanted to before, but now I've done with secondary school and college, I don't want to anymore. I've heard of mandatory "consent classes" being given to new students (only male, for some reason) at universities in the US but apparently it's becoming a thing here in the UK too now. So it's a big fat NOPE for me until they sort this out, if ever.
