Good thing they don’t read Elizabethan poetry and other such pernicious nonsense anymore. Have you ever read one of Shakespeare’s plays? They’re full of cliches. /sarcasm

I can see why the prerequisite is ENGL 103 or 104. You need a degree in English just to read through that.

We must have gone to the same school.

I can’t believe the garbage masquerading as legitimate fields of study.

> After all, college is supposed to be 'work.'

Back around 1972 I had an Economics prof who was perhaps 30, really quite hot, and per the style of the day, wore very short skirts. She also liked reaching up to the top of the blackboard (remember blackboards?).

Staying awake in Econ 101 would have been difficult were it not for the suspense.

We all worked hard in that class.

esoteric academic jargon and hackneyed, woke buzzwords

Such as,

"transfeminist... anticolonial...taxonomizing apparatus...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations,...leverage critiques against normativity... Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies...Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index....performativity...and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate..."
Prerequisite: ENGL 103 or 104.

Actual source is Reading and Writing Gender and Sexuality ENGL 214, https://www.kenyon.edu/directory/brianna-thompson/
Author is Brianna Thompson, who teaches courses in American women’s literature, queer theory and utopias/Afrofuturism. (740) 427-5621 Email Address thompson12@kenyon.edu

A college=a far-left ideological brothel baptizing women in waters of wokism. Another anti-Christ effect of contraception, etc.

However, she says that this (Jess Goldberg (Jesse A.) poor pitiful soul is "Looking great!"

God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.
Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

This is why many conservatives don’t want to attend a university. This is just leftist indoctrination, not education.

Kind of reminds me of the 1980's "Study Hard" poster. I won't put it here, but below is a link. Warning: may not be safe for work:

‘Is the teacher hot”? Probably only to a fellow lesbian. They seem to be the ones pushing this bilge.

“Well, is the teacher hot?”

NO.

I state that with 99.9999999999% certainty.

No need to understand the sentence to pick out its structure. Here it is, stripped to its bones:

With a long preamble, the “X” has long served as a “Y”.

That has the form of an assertion, not a question or debatable proposition.

Great poster!

> Warning: may not be safe for work:

I suppose it depends on your line of work. :-)

A mouth like that is just begging for a d*ck to be stuck in it.
