That is just bizarre!! I work in a sector that I expect might have some eccentrics and socially challenged employees and I’m cool with it. However, I try to minimize potential conflicts (with me) by disregarding any resume that has a hyphenated surname—especially if it is coupled with a traditionally male first name. And looking for people that have a “experience” and not fresh out of school.
WOMEN are snowflakes? Excuse me, but the “men” are delicate doilies as well. Actually, they’re worse, because... well... they’re men.
You could be right. I disapprove of the Socratic method, which is why my response is not, “What an interesting conversation starter!” but, “Make your point already!”
I think that an instructor should state his contention and present his evidence for the hearers to evaluate, instead of weaseling his captive audience into whatever conclusion he’s chosen in advance, while trying to make them believe his is the only possible correct analysis.

I think it might’ve been Rush who “invented” this term for today’s fragile flowers.
These young women are validating every “neanderthal” anti-woman stereotype, showing themselves as being weak physically, mentally, emotionally.
I hear you.
I think the intent is to first teach how to critically think before expecting them to evaluate. Evaluating without thinking is just feeling, which is where we are now.

Maybe. However, when educationalists say "think critically," they generally mean, "accept the leftist position on every issue."
I think analytic skill has to come first. What does the text say? What is the author's thesis? What evidence does he present? Does the evidence prove his thesis or support his thesis, or is it irrelevant?
I think that, even if the event (of the article) had gone as the author hoped, it would have generated much heat but very little light, because of the lack of clear arguments with structured evaluation.

I had a girl living with me who was very much like that. (She’s now 31.) She was like something out of a TV show — volatile, funky. Drove me crazy with her save-the-planet advice, although she liked me a lot. Her father was a nice guy, but her mother was a bit off. (It’s always the mother, I noticed.) When her mother showed up at the door, I nearly mistook her for a bag lady and gave her a dollar.
Interestingly, this girl was coming into traditional Judaism, while struggling with her former SJW persona. During her conversions over the phone with people who wanted to set her up with Orthodox guys, I overheard her say, again and again, “Don’t tell them I was a dumpster diver.”
In the end she got married — to another kook — and I hope their marriage lasts. They seem happy, but I know that she is emotionally fragile. During their long engagement, they had had arguments.
LOL! The comments on that thread are hilarious!
