"Yes Means Yes?" College Girl Writes That Yes Also Means No

This isn't that shocking when you consider what is being taught in universities today.
"A newly hired Boston University professor several anti-white comments she made on Twitter, but the school says she is simply practicing free speech."
"Incoming Boston University assistant professor of sociology and African-American studies, Saida Grundy, says white males are a “problem population.”
"“White masculinity isn’t a problem for America’s colleges, white masculinity is THE problem for America’s colleges,” Ms. Grundy tweeted in March."

She also uses feminist terms like "cis".

For me, and many others like me, consent isn’t easy. Yes doesn’t always mean yes, and we misplaced ‘no’ several years ago.

Consent is a privilege, and it was built for wealthy, heterosexual, cis, white,
It's a wonder these women ever get anything done with this kind of cyclical, irrational thinking.
So a college student tries to put a spin on a controversial topic by attempting to rationalize something that is complete nonsense... and now all the feminists have jumped on the bandwagon because they believe it's now
plausible?
Flavor of the week. Depending on their mood, tomorrow they'll be back to telling us yes means
maybe, maybe not.
The
rationalization definition from Wiki puts it well:
Quote:Quote:
In psychology and logic, rationalization (also known as making excuses) is a defense mechanism in which controversial behaviors or feelings are justified and explained in a seemingly rational or logical manner to avoid the true explanation, and are made consciously tolerable – or even admirable and superior – by plausible means. It is also an informal fallacy of reasoning.
Rationalization happens in 2 steps:
A decision, action, judgement is made for a given reason, or no (known) reason at all (in cases for instance of dogmatic judgement or normal behavior).
A rationalization is perfomed, constructing an seemingly good or logical reason, as an attempt to justify the act after the fact (for oneself or others). Rationalization encourages irrational or unacceptable behavior, motives, or feelings and often involves ad hoc hypothesizing.
What we need to do is keep exposing these types of irrational "opinion pieces" for what they really are, nonsense. Nothing to see here, moving on here...
