Offensive doesn't mean wrong, little lady.

Freedom of expression and freedom of thought are integrally linked and what this woman is discussing here is a backdoor way of making certain ways of looking at the world into thought crimes.

I thought the curtailing of freedom of thought would come from corporatism or something of that ilk. Then again, these huge rifts, these inequalities that just get poked further open when a reality-check could close them further... I wonder if maybe there is a social engineering strategy behind it, and if even the feminine imperative is a pawn in making sure there are strong ideological divides to be exploited for so many possible reasons.

In any event, this idea she is promulgating would be terrifying if it weren't for the backlash to this kind of thinking that is gathering strength even as people like her are proposing more and more extremist and anti-choice, anti-freedom 'solutions' to what they perceive as problems. Problems that are really roadblocks to the dominance of their ideologies, their social groups, their tribe.

I swear we aren't a mature society anymore. We have, as a society at least, degenerated into metaphorical children. Mature thinkers do not believe that any scholarly discourse is advanced by stifling points of view that do not fall in line with a special interest group's core beliefs. I guess the only remedy is to be mature in response - do not engage, write what you believe, treat the world and people around you as if this toxic ideology never existed or at least as if nobody in their right minds would take it seriously.

I hope she goes all in and graduates with a PH.d in Women's studies with $300K in debt.

Then she learns about job market justice.

This is a logical progression considering women are making up a greater and greater percentage of the academic population in the US.

You are going to see even such top rated places as Harvard and Stanford become shitholes of Social Justice and feminist bullshit.

Sandra Y.L. Korn ’14, a Crimson editorial writer, is a joint history of science and studies of women, gender and sexuality concentrator in Eliot House. Her column usually appears on alternate Mondays.

This is the hamster, she's a woman's studies major and is of little use to society.

If the University isn't the place to freely discuss and debate ideas, where is?

Such a long and educated letter, but missing an easy fact: 'justice' is subjective and can easily be distorted. Hence the whole point of academic freedom. Unfortunately this BP attitude of argument based on feels rather than logic is infecting an entire generation.

As long as her idea of justice is served, amirite? As long as the prevailing politics are "correct" then there's no problem. I wonder if she'd have the same opinion if the politics were against her.

This kind of Orwellian thoughtcrime-policing absolutely sickens me.

I've been at three top 5 institutions for undergrad/med school/residency and i assure you that feminist attitudes are very strong at these places and the beta ratio is disproportionately high

to resist rape a woman needs … a certain ladylike modesty

Well, if that isn't a common sense approach to "rape culture", then I don't know what is. Too bad women are so weak and can't resist being pushed onto the cock carousel by the invisible hands of patriarchy...
