ABOLISH THE IVY LEAGUE?
Powerline ^ | November 24,2019 | John Hinderaker

Today’s sign of the apocalypse: Tampons Are Coming to the Men’s Room at Brown University.

The student body president at Brown University, Viet Nguyen, will personally be handing out free tampons and pads in men’s, women’s, and gender neutral restrooms on campus, Newsweek reported Tuesday.

“We wanted to set a tone of trans-inclusivity, and not forget that they’re an important part of the population,” Nguyen explained in an email announcing his bathroom project.

An important part of the population? No doubt every individual is important, but as far as I know, I have never met a “trans” person. Have you? But the fact that “trans” people, however defined, represent an infinitesimal percentage of the population isn’t the main point here.

“I’d be naïve to say there won’t be push back. I’ve had questions about why we’re implementing this in male bathrooms as well. It’s an initial confusion, but people generally understand when we explain it.”

Please, explain it to me!

How do you explain it? “Men can have periods, too.”

No, actually, men don’t have periods. They’re men. You can be a person who has periods and call yourself a man, but calling yourself a man doesn’t make you one. (Abraham Lincoln’s story of the dog’s legs comes to mind.) If you need a tampon, the proper place to look is the women’s rest room.

How on Earth does nonsense like this gain currency? I suppose one answer is that a lot of nonsense is gaining currency these days, especially in our allegedly elite institutions. Steve noted that yesterday’s Harvard-Yale football game was delayed for over an hour because student protesters “occupied” the field during halftime to stage a climate protest. Rather than clearing these goofs off the field, the authorities humored them and delayed the second half.

So now that the liberals have discovered that there are hundreds of sexes, what does a doctor tell a pregnant woman regarding the sex of the child?

The Ivies are private universities so they can do whatever they want.

Don’t abolish them. Just laugh at them. If enough people laugh at them an Ivy League degree will become worthless. Worthless degrees = bankrupt Ivy Leagues.

Yale and Harvard should ban football. It’s everything the left decries - warlike, male, violent, toxic masculinity, non-inclusive, et al.

They can keep basketball. It’s a great excuse to have eight negroes there who wouldn’t otherwise qualify to attend classes there but football should be definitely out.

Good suggestion. And tell them to hire elite faculty like Pierre Delecto!

Brown went to the Devil a long time ago. A sophomore student named Ira Magaziner had spent his summer vacation writing a manifesto for changes in Browns curriculum, such as pass/fail etc. The idiots who ran the university bought it hook, line, and sinker.

And why are they an important part of the population?

You are behind the times, my friend.

Thee probable Democrat nominee says they are the backbone of our democracy.

The exact quote is,: "Black trans and cis women, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people are the backbone of our democracy".

Shoot, I am not religious and even I can see what's going on here.

It's clear evil is in full control of the planet. The satanists in power are turning the perception of every grotesque, contorted and vile behavior and outcome into preferred, normal and beautiful.

I won't even say they are attempting this because as present they are succeeding at, probably, even their most wildest dreams.

well they set the groundwork 50 years ago and they are MUCH more patient in their planning than most groups.

They are monsters.

Your suggestion that looking closer is in order is spot on. Dartmouth doesn’t have any grad programs.

Cornell is the largest in terms of undergrads, and Cornell is a little weird in that three of its seven undergraduate colleges are state schools (Ag, Hum Ec, Industrial and Labor Relations) in which NYers are given a strong preference. The Vet school, a graduate program, is also state.
