Feminist students feel ‘unsafe’ bringing female, conservative speaker to campus
Campus Reform ^

Posted on 10/24/2015 1:21:36 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Oberlin College feminists claim they “feel unsafe” because of an upcoming event featuring Christina Hoff Sommers, a noted scholar and author on modern feminism.

In a public Facebook event page, the Oberlin College Republicans and Libertarians (OCRL) student group said Sommers will discuss “feminism from a perspective that differs from the general Oberlin population.”

“Does this event make you or someone you know feel unsafe?” Tweet This

However, many female students at the Ohio school have taken over the comments section of the event page to express their disappointment in the group’s choice of Sommers as an event speaker. Several students claim they “feel unsafe” by her presence on campus.

These delicate daisies can't be expected to defend their positions with reason, but instead have to play victims incapable of debating contrary viewpoints.

Their actions perpetuate the very stereotypes of which they complain.

Fluffy Bunny Totalitarianism: “Run to the safe room; there’s a thought with which we disagree! Oh, the cognitive dissonance! Micro-agression, micro-aggression!”

This country is doomed.

The only thing rendered unsafe is their delusional state.

I don’t know that the country is doomed, but I feel sorry for the poor sod who ever marries one of those, on so many levels.

If they can’t handle a speaker, then they don’t have the emotional maturity necessary for college life or adulthood and should be sent home for a year. They can come back when they grow up.

If there are many, many Oberlin students feeling “unsafe” does that make it a macroagression?

I get so confused...quick...someone blow a dog whistle so I can fully understand !

(did I miss any liberal catch words?)

Such a tragedy that the minds of the general Oberlin population might seize before exams.

Maybe they could just stay home and drink, if they don't want to hear Ms. Sommers's perspective.

Is this the Oberlin College Insanity Drinking Game?

In that case, you earned at least two.

Of course they would feel "unsafe" because they are living in a fantasy world that would be wrecked by the TRUTH.

Truth, facts, objective analyses all are avoided by Democrats and other leftists because they would be stopped in their tracks and would be unelectable.

Remember a generation or two or three ago when it was accepted that the role of organized education was to challenge students to think and teach them to make fact based judgements?

Do they even teach logic anymore?

Feeling unsafe, babe?

Just wait until all these muslim ‘refugees’ your hero in the White House is relocating to your community and eventually your school.

When you’re forced to submit to sharia, you’ll see what ‘unsafe’ really feels like.

But go ahead and live in your fantasy world and protective bubble manufactured by those who really do mean you harm. By time you so-called feminists realize how stupid you’ve been all these years it will be too late.

Smugness is threatened. Their feeling of being in the trend is made to feel unsafe.
