Oxford used to have humanities studies that, along with the sciences, were among the strongest in the world.

Regretfully, the libs have ruined the humanities there, as they have in virtually all the major world universities.

Thankfully, the sciences still have their high standards.

After all, few manage any kind of STEM degree without experiencing lots and lots of discomfort. At least those students can bask in the comfort of knowing those silly little girly girls on the protest side couldn’t even qualify to clean the johns in the physics dept.

Even more relevant. We have become a very polarized society where the lunatic fringe has become the norm, and they are stamping out all that is good and decent.

There will be violence, either through resistance to this mad agenda, or as a result of a lack thereof.

What does a vagina and uterus have to do with murder?

At least all this nonsense is exploding the myth of the value of college.

>>They said it was outrageous that two human beings “who do not have uteruses” should get to hold forth on abortion

So, liberals who don’t carry a handgun for protection should shut up about handguns carried for protection. Same for semi-auto rifles for militia duties. If a liberal has never bought a gun at a gun show, then they should shut up about gun show loopholes too.

There is no right to be comfortable. Life is not fair, which doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities for those who are wiling to take them and while doing so probably be uncomfortable in some form or way. You make your bed you lie in it. I hate the last expression, but these are all things my parents, mostly my mom always told me, along with if you aren’t willing to do something correctly, don’t bother doing it. lol I will say the one with the most truth is Life is Not Fair. Which means life is diverse as everyone is different in talents, abilities, means, aspirations and ambition.

There are liberals who want to excise the language of all words in the hope of eliminating those concepts from the human psyche. In these regards, they are mimicking 1984. Another way of saying this:

From “In Conquest Born”, a science fiction novel
Harkur: You can remove undesirable emotions from society’s repertoire by careful manipulation of cultural trends. You can revise your language so that a man has no means of expressing that which is forbidden; lacking a familiar label, he will eventually lose his grasp of the concept itself. You cannot, however, wholly excise emotions from a man’s character and still expect him to be a complete human being.

A mob of furious feministic Oxford students, all robotically uttering the same stuff about feeling offended,

just the fact that a libtard exists is offensive to me
