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.

Technically, the Ivy League is just a sports league.

Actually No, it’s not.
It is how Privileged a holes have been getting ahead like British “Nobles” for 300 years.

They get dumber by the day and should be taxed on their endowments alone!

Harvard let Fat Ted in yet he
later got kicked out for cheating

And became the “Lion” of the Senate!

Pahleeze!
THE MOST CORRUPT FAMILY IN AMERICA!

I wonder how many trannys they have at Brown University? Is this just a big s@#% show for attention?

What would they have — one or two trannys? Maybe a few other pronouns?

It’s a freak show.

The Ivy League is, in my opinion, obsolete. But it will not be abolished voluntarily. And somehow, I am reminded of another, quite different League--the Hansa Teutonica (The Hanseatic League).

I recently read an excellent history of the Hanseatic League. The author concluded that the 30 Years War really broke the league. But it still stumbled in some form for 300 more years.

And so, the Ivy League maybe will eventually wither--and not many will notice until the decay is undeniable. Of course, I think the entire U.S. university system is fatally flawed and heading for a crack up.

Shove it down his throat and wait for it to expand.

Men sometimes have to purchase tampons for their girlfriends.

I mentioned this to a friend that Brown will have sanitary pads for men.

The response: “Where are they going to put them?”

I went to a private non-ivy for my undergrad and went to an ivy for my graduate degree (physics). There was a head and shoulders difference in the intellect of the ivy kids vs, the non-ivy.

That was 30 years ago...not sure that is still true today.

What needs to happen is that these institutions need to be fumigated of all of the leftist retard administrators who have turned them into the Soviet Union

AOC graduated from BU, which is NOT an "IVY", and is in Boston, Mass.!

Brown IS an "IVY" and is situated in Providence, Rhode Island.

Of course they are important. According to Elizabeth Warren, “Black trans and cis women, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people are the backbone of our democracy,”

He would have one stuffed up each nostril if he tried handing me one. I would say his ass but he would probably enjoy that.
