These “feminists” are not serious people.

[Trigger Warning]
The Weekly Standard piece about Dr. Hoff Sommers is a good one. I particularly like the final sentence:
“It says a lot about contemporary feminism that (sic) precious few who claim the feminist label also embrace liberty and reject victimhood—and for that, they’re the ones who are getting bomb threats.”
I still don’t get why the feminists go nuts when Dr. Hoff Sommers suggests they switch their majors to engineering.
Because engineering is a linear-thinking oppressive field of study invented by dead white European males. Women who go into it are surrendering to the patriarchy.
Not sure Archimedes and Hero would consider themselves European -or- white. Although if they were asked about ‘dead’, they’d probably have a good discussion about what exactly that can possibly mean since they’re talking about it.
Maybe average engineers are linear-thinking, but good engineers don’t limit themselves to that.
I still don’t get why the feminists go nuts when Dr. Hoff Sommers suggests they switch their majors to engineering.
Because she is basically telling them to get a real job instead of a phony one.
It really is a good post showing just how absurd the trigger warning nonsense really is. Anybody who claims to need trigger warnings needs a room with cushioned walls, which for their sake, we will call a “safe place”. They don’t need an university degree or a job, and they really don’t need a student loan.

That’s funny. Nobody gives “trigger warnings” before shooting at our soldiers.
