It'd be nice to go back, but if cleaning troll infestations is a huge undertaking, I can live with the reduced views.

A new ‘gender neutral’ term Mx has joined Mr, Mrs, Ms and Miss in the dictionary - meant to be used by transgender people and those who do not wish to identify their gender.

It was joined by other words such as ‘bestie, feels, fleek, sapiosexual’ on Dictionary.com.

It’s defined as ‘a title of respect prefixed to a person’s surname: unlike Mr., Mrs., or Ms., it does not indicate gender and may be used by a person with any or no specific gender identity.’

The Oxford English Dictionary are also due to add the term ‘Mx’.

Oh hang on, I was right the first time. Someone DID paste the wrong description into the Impostor Syndrome workshop. The abortion part can't in any way be connected to the syndrome. The other sentences maybe, but not the one about abortion.

As none of the special snowflakes will stand for being left out I'm sure that will be followed by Mxx, Mxy, Mxox, etc., etc., etc.

Though maybe there is a case to be made for separate pronouns to refer to transgender individuals. It kind of irks me to refer to Jenner as a "she" as the definition - "used to refer to a woman, girl, or female animal" - still underwrites or supports the claim to being a woman or female; kind of the thin edge of the wedge, assuming that which is to be proven.

Student journalist files complaint against Missouri academic who called for 'muscle'

A student journalist whose video of this week's anti-racism protests at the University of Missouri went viral after a professor called for "some muscle" to get him to back off has filed a police complaint against the academic, Melissa Click.

Student Mark Schierbecker complained twice to campus police about Click, said Major Brian Weimer, a spokesman for the University of Missouri police department.

"I thought about it up until last night when I actually made the call and told the officer that I wanted to go ahead and press charges," Schierbecker, 21, said in an interview with Reuters. "He agreed with me that they would classify it as minor assault."

Police and prosecutors would investigate the claim and decide whether to formally charge Click, Schierbecker said.

In the video he shot, which has been posted online, Click is seen calling on protesters to remove Schierbecker and student photographer Tim Tai from a spot in the school quad where protesters had set up an encampment which they claimed was private space.

"Who wants to help me get this reporter out of here?" Click, a communications professor, yelled on camera. "I need some muscle over here." ...

In addition to calling protesters over to get Schierbecker to leave, Click also grabbed at his camera, he said. On the video, her hand can be seen blocking the image at least two times.

Schierbecker said he felt threatened by the exchange, which took place after he documented protesters pushing back another student photographer, Tim Tai, by walking slowly into him.

Click did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. ...

#31993

Oh, and from http://www.breitbart.com/big-government ... ssa-click/

Schierbecker told Breitbart News, “I pressed charges against Melissa Click and also the former Associate Dean for undergraduate studies at the Journalism school just filed a formal complaint with the Title IX office about her.”

"Oh, you English ...." :-)

Though I think it kind of depends on context, on a number of assumptions or premises or background of the listener, some of which may be more or less unique to the British. Particularly in light of the fact that that Independent article noted that some 500,000 Syrian refugees had found homes - and jobs - in Saudi Arabia (aka #SaudiBarbaria). Problem is that I think Dawkins isn't really considering the problematic effects of large numbers of immigrants who, apparently or presumably, have a very limited commitment to the foundational principles of democracy. Though, to be fair, one might argue the same about many of today's college youth ....

The exact opposite will happen. The schools will hire make-work "diversity commanders" who will get nice salaries and bennies as the schools hire even more part-time teachers at low wages to make up for it. All of these shitheads will benefit. Someone needs to write the mandatory "don't rape anyone" training, right?
I'm afraid that my guess matches Really?'s. For at least a decade, I'd say, this will get worse as each wave of nonsense evoked by idiots leads to the hiring of additional idiots. I would have added that maybe some of the better private schools would be exempt, but I need to see what Yale does next, first.

What's even more fucked up is that the one type of school that I'm pretty sure will escape all this is the private and religiously-affiliated. The idea that Hope College, for example, is our only hope is terrifying.

As far as winning anon over, I'm guessing them posting pics of puking afterwards would probably mean no.

According to USA Today, " She said she felt that she and the students were being aggressed upon."

In my opinion, by making that ridiculous claim, she was trying to feign victimhood-- which forces the reporter clear his reputation by filing the claim of 'simple assault' with the police.
He can't shrug-off the minor violence she committed-- as a man is expected to do-- because she's unwilling to let the truth stand.

If there's no biological definition of sex because there are no traits that definitively distinguish male from female, isn't that also true about the word 'human'?

What defines human? Not consciousness, obviously, because you are still human in your sleep. Not numbers of limbs or walking upright because of disability. Not intelligence because Nerd of Redhead.

And not 23 pairs of chromosomes for the same reason you can't define sex by chromosomes.

So if there's no such thing as 'human' how can feminism be the radical notion women are human too?

The Million Student March, CUNY:

On November 12th, students all across CUNY will rally to demand a freeze on tuition and new contracts! We must fight for funding for our university, and for CUNY to be accessible to working class communities in NYC as the public university system. The Zionist administration invests in Israeli companies, companies that support the Israeli occupation, hosts birthright programs and study abroad programs in occupied Palestine, and reproduces settler-colonial ideology throughout CUNY through Zionist content of education. While CUNY aims to produce the next generation of professional Zionists, SJP aims to change the university to fight for all peoples liberation.
