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.

Academia has the most censored speech in America. If it doesn’t agree with their Marxist world view they won’t allow it.

Pray America wakes

OH-TAY!

Sooooo....how many head-chopping refugees should we put them down for...after all...these types always support illegal invaders and open borders.

Send some to them.

I am sure some of these “daisies” are in desperate need of the full BEE-KEEPER BATMAN-SUIT BURKA !

I can almost guarantee it.

AND DON'T FORGET THE VEILS!!!!

Geez, whatever happen to colleges being the centers for free thought and alternative philosophy? When I went to university in the late 1960s, free speech was promoted and varying and differing points of view were encouraged.

These students nowadays have been indoctrinated by the Left with this cultural Marxism of political correctness and told they are victims of multiple micro-aggressions and should be "offended" at everything they don't like.

I can imagine what these whiney, shrinking violets will do when they get out of school and reality hits them in the stomach. We'll have a bunch of these wimps crawling up into a fetal positions and crying under their beds, afraid to come out and face what the real world has to offend them with.

Pathetic bunch of losers.

Wait a minute. I thought these gals claim to be able to do anything a man can do. Figures. These chippies want it both ways. There’s a certain ‘’privilege’’ in play. I refuse to use the word, but surely it’s obvious.

Oberlin College looks like another femi-Nazi castration machine. The little vultures will graduate and go hunting for a male to castrate and turn into a wimpy, latte-sipping pajama boy. The Muslim head-choppers and black pamper thugs will love it. Easy pickings to find both a slave and a female for the haram in the same household.

Whoopeeeee!!!

What annoys the Left so much about CHS is that she comes from the same places they came from (NYU and Brandeis) and was a rising professor in academia, so she knows their thinking and pulls the curtain on how shallow so many of the social sciences and humanities departments have become.

Political Correctness, like “Settled Science”, is simply another way to prevent opposing views from getting shared. It’s about thought control. They want the monopoly on that.

Every time the feminists pull their "damsel in distress" routine, it completely undermines their supposed philosophy of women being strong and independent. I think these feminists really need a man to come to their emotional rescue and steady their delicate nerves.

Please don’t send incoming jihadis to Oberlin! Go one mile off campus in every direction and you are in the heart of conservative, small town America!
On second thought, send em! Good way to thin the herd.
FYI Oberlin college is a small collection of liberal ninnies assembled in a great little town!

Good. Now you can go to your "safe room" where you can have cookies, hug stuffed animals, cry to a counselor, listen to soothing music, and have a nap.

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.

A "sod" is male, by definition. Somehow I don't see too many of them marrying males.

From the latest, and among the greatest, South Park episodes:

Mr. Reality: “...What’s the matter with you people?! You’re saaad that people are meeean? Well I’m sorry, the world isn’t one big liberal arts college campus! We eat too much, we take our spoiled lives for granted, feel a little bad about it sometimes! NO! you wanna put up all your sh*t on the Internet and have every single person say ‘Hooray for you!’ F**K YOU! You’re all pr*cks!”

Yet, they go bar hopping every other night of the week and engage in unprotected sex.

“Unsafe” is the new blackball used by the immature kids we now see in college. In the world of these precious little snowflakes the thought of having someone speak words they don’t like on their college campus is a “micro-aggression.”

They’re real life Eloi.
