Your comment points to an obvious solution. All this crap will go away as the government money runs out, and these twerps will no longer be paid for doing the nothing that they spend their days doing.
Truly, as the economists say, what can't go on, won't go on. No one knows or cares who these academics are. No one benefits from what they do, except their landlords. Higher education is in the process of imploding because all but the biggest-name private colleges and important state schools are hemorrhaging enrollment. Students aren't applying--especially in the mediocre, government-dependent schools where these hateful academics teach.
The complete collapse of lower Higher Ed is going to happen because the big-spending states that prop up most of this bilge have overspent in every corner of their budgets. New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, for example, are all losing population and taxpayers, and are therefore facing monumental deficits. You heard New York's Governor Cuomo--a principle-free statist--admit, "We taxed the rich, and the rich left!" They lost the Amazon deal, too. He admitted they are billions of dollars short of the tax collections they need to pay the state's bills. I think he said state income was down by two-thirds just from people moving out.
This is happening right now. All that will be left is people who discover they really want or need to learn history, foreign languages, classics, literature, and religion, in addition to math and science, or else they won't get human nature itself, and will be less successful. It will take a few years or decades. But it will happen, because it's reality.
You've hit on something that I've been saying, not so much in relation to academe, about this gender dysfunction we've been agape at of late. Bathrooms, locker rooms, choosing a different gender every day, boys dominating girls' athletics, etc., all being called into question and the powers that be going along with it. There are massive unintended consequence, not least of which is the threat of invasion of women's privacy. Men might not care so much for that kind of privacy; but women do.
On and on it goes. But, one fine day, people will look up (I don't know whether sooner or later) and say, "Who did this to us? None of this is real; it's all made up; we've been had."
