    It's a “guerrilla action” response to “gender tension” and “male-centricity.” And “of course, it is a feminist statement.”

    Students film feminist porno in Columbia University library

    a brief description of all-female feminist pornography:

    The full length feature film here

    Non-erotic pornography has arrived!

    Who knew feminists have a riding crop fixation?

    If they had managed to make a decent porn film, at least they'd have some kind of career prospects after they graduate.

    Swarthmore College hosted a “Fat Justice and Feminism” seminar


    What you could have learned by attending:

    Ronald Reagan is partially responsible for all suffering of fat people, as he “f*cked everything up.”

    the Body Mass Index is a tool of the “white supremacist, patriarchal, colonizing, exploitative force.”

    the “medical-industrial complex” has infiltrated every doctor’s office in the country

    communism is superior to capitalism… at least for fat people.


    :lol:

    Communism is great for fat people!
    North Korea has proved they can slim down even the chubbiest!

    From what I've seen, getting a degree in gender studies is generally viewed poorly by employers as graduates are viewed as being extremely litigious.

    I'm also not entirely certain of the value of a gender studies degree in of itself, it smacks of naval gazing from my perspective. I can think of way better ways to spend $40,000+. Like on a degree in a STEM field, which many gender studies claim are under represented by women...

    Check the pictures!
    a professional bodybuilder and personal trainer Branded “Obese” By Nurse For High BMI, Ordered To Lose Weight.


    "At 4ft 11in and weighing 10st 3lb, she was found to have a BMI of 29. A ‘healthy’ BMI is between 18.5 and 25, a score of 25-29 is classed as ‘overweight’ and anything above 30 is ‘obese’."


    a case of credentialed, but no common sense!

    The “medical-industrial complex” ;)

    Credentials!

    Students who obtain their certificate in Women's Studies will gain:
    • Increased understanding of how gender is constructed and functions in social, cultural, historical, political, and institutional contexts.
    • Increased understanding of the diversity of women's lives, particularly as they intersect with age, class, disability, ethnicity/'race,' region, religion, and sexuality.
    • Enhanced ability to engage critically and holistically with multicultural-feminist/womanist theories concerning social inequalities, to develop advanced research skills in the field of women's studies, and to develop effective academic writing skills.
    • Preparation for responsible leadership in community settings, the academy, and careers in social service.

    Certificate in LGBT Studies


    after receiving their degrees, they are then qualified to ask:
    "would you like fries with that patriarchal, colonizing, exploitative Cheeseburger?"

    -- a $40k drug and booze binge would be a better way to spend the money

    How BMI is now being used is (mostly) bunk. It was designed as a statistical measure for easy reporting of results in studies. It cannot, and it wasn't meant to, designate the differences on the level of a unique individual. That example of a bodybuilder being told to lose weight would happen if the profession only goes by BMI. So a Dr ordering a BMI reduction without knowing more about the person doesn't make good sense. And certainly insurance companies that charge more for higher BMI's are neglecting the individual composition for an easy statistical yardstick.

    I've run into people that note that BMI is a fallacy and explain the bodybuilder problem to me. The problem here is every one of them is NOT a bodybuilder. So, even if that problem is true it's most likely not true to them. They use it as an excuse. So unless you're in that very small group that BMI doesn't apply it's probably a fair enough yardstick to use to decide if you're healthy enough or want to do more work. If you're a higher BMI # then you are indeed more likely to see a positive return by dropping your BMI a couple of points.

    Welp, time to break out the emergency scotch.

    Honestly for years I used to laugh at yours and Red's stereotypes of "leftists". Then I discovered Tumblr and realised that not only did such loons exist, but that they seem to be growing in numbers and influence.

    It's like the run up to the Sokal Affair all over again.

    Oh I've been following #gamergate since it exploded, hell I even signed up to The Escapist's forum since it was pretty much the only place online that wasn't just banning the shit out of everything about it.

    It really is fascinating and terrifying to behold.

    I don't play games so this gamergate thing is still something of a mystery to me but I have seen the videos by "Thunderf00t" where he talks about this Sarkeesian person. Wow, does she sound like a wacka-doodle

    one of the recent videos:
