Female student demands men 'step back' in class discussions
Campus Reform ^ | May 1, 2017 | Toni Airaksinen

Posted on 05/01/2017 8:16:17 AM PDT by C19fan

Male students who talk too much in class are oppressing their female peers, a Wesleyan University student contends in a recent op-ed.

Tara Joy, a freshman who came to Wesleyan from an all-girls high school, writes in The Wesleyan Argus about how the excitement of her first year of college was dashed by the realization that some of the men in her classes “talked constantly.”

Can't step back, it's in our nature to lead. It's akin to but different than the nature their mommies mentioned when explaining how those cramps and bleeding would be happening every 28 days for many years to come.

Exactly. Little Tara better wake up to the real world, the world outside academia, cause it isn’t the one she thinks it is. Assuming she ever has a job, I can just see the reaction of her boss when she complains that a man talks too much at a staff meeting.

She should transfer to Smith or Welleseley.

My first thought as well.

She should transfer to Talaban U or ISIS Tech after having her love button removed.

Why don't women fart as much as men?

They don't keep their mouths shut long enough to build up any pressure.

The problem is they are working to change the rest of the world into academia.

Another example of a “feminist” refuting her own ideology.

They claim to be independent and able to handle themselves around men. But here’s another one complaining that she can’t.

Perhaps a remedy would be a timer given out to each professor or instructor with the instruction that they must strictly control discussions in their class. If a female student (or whatever the non male student is self identifying as that day) speaks for 30 seconds, then the male student should be allowed 30 seconds of speech. Nothing more. If they are in the middle of their sentence, they should be immediately cut off. When a female student adds to the class discussion, then and only then is it permissible for a male student to say something. Otherwise, they MUST REMAIN SILENT! Of course, if the male student is Black or Hispanic, or Asian, it would be racist to hold them to the same requirements. That would be racist. But the problem is, they still have male genitals. But what if they are gay or transgender? It wouldn't be just to shut them up. Hmmmmmm. Well obviously my solution needs some fine tuning. But I am sure it can be figured out mathematically so that it is right as rain in the end and fragile female snowflakes feel more at ease with classroom discussions.

Funny, my wife tends to blather on during anytime I am watching something on TV. She stops during the commercials!

When I turn up the volume, she talks louder or says the TV is too loud.

Drives me crazy.

I really hate these bitches who think they have a right to shut down men.

It reflects poorly on real women.

Young &itch from wealth and privilege, never been told no, insulated all her life from the real world, now demands it be her way or no way. Tough $hit.

“I have so many well-meaning, reasonably progressive male friends who keep interrupting or even ignoring me and other women,”

That's because you use words like "mansplain" and other such gibberish, dearie.

Even the African tribal “shaman” were male.

All weekend we heard, “Philadelphia is on the clock.” Maybe each classroom should have a male clock. When a male speaks the professor yells out, “Males on the clock”!

When males participate, it make the females feel “sad and uncomfortable”. LOL.
