Were they presenting this as a positive (e.g. they should infect, disrupt traditional fields) or as a warning (e.g. Beware! This is how Women’s Studies can infect and disrupt your field)?

“What are these kids gonna do in the real world?“

Be useful idiots as they throw their lives away on behalf of the Communist Party.

I have to agree with them. If their goal is to destroy the educational system...they are well on the way. (See the goals of the communist manifesto.)

Women;s studies? Since they will not be able to get a job when they graduate, they may as well become a virus. Wonder what the average pay rate is for a virus.

Nice image... Like HIV? Give AIDS to the academic culture? They might want to reconsider this idea.

Quarantine this problem. Let it burn itself out in a remote location until it is eradicated.

The scary part is how much they’ve learned about Title IX and government bureaucracy, so they work in Human Resources filling out reports to the state and checklists for various industry standards.

In short, they earned degrees expecting to be permanent activists and chekists.
