We're at about round 12 of asking OP for actual evidence of his claims in the OP about curriculum and such. I'm sure that is coming instead of anecdotal youtubes of MRA type guys any post now! You attack other people for their social skills, but have gotten banned on an internet website for sexism and I really doubt you have ever been to university or in the environments you are lauding.
The post i got banned for was laughable. I have posted multiple proffesors and psychologists suggesting the same. Womens studies contradict basic biology. They get away with it the same way sjw's succeed in activism, they label you a sexist, racist, and a phobe, then go after your career. Wookie has shown an inability to articulate strong arguments, ask for clarification, issues warnings, and has been extremely leanient of left leaning posters while snap banning those with oposing views. Its classic sjw tribal authoritarian behavoir. Again, professors and psychologists with the courage to speak out have already described it

Its like your ignorance of what is being taught is some sort of argument. You want to argue as a default, and so far the argument is I haven't properly informed you. Ok you're ignorant of the subject, thats not a strong point though

You seem to care if there is social activism or not. That's irrelevant to the claim that something is unscientific or anti-scientific.

What is in contradiction and in what way specifically?

Juan, you conveniently left out the part if you have personally attended college. You're Canadian. So am I. You should know our campus life is wildly different from America. It really seems like you don't know this because you never experienced such. It seems very clear based on your postings about how you imagine what campus life is that you never got to experience such on your own. It's weird, since university in Canada is not very expensive. Most people attend a university in their home province and quite a few still live at home while doing it. This is why we don't get the same campus culture America has. There are genuinely few things less radical than a Canadian University.

And again, another post without a single curriculum, specific teacher or campus doing what he said he would prove in the OP. Just vague "people are doing x" with literally no sources beyond lol YouTube videos.

Gender studies doesn't have to be scientific to be worthy of university study, a la literature or art . They aren't in science departments so the burden is on you to show that what they are doing contradicts things people in science departments are doing.

A huge clue that you're wrong is that physics professors don't seem to agree with you.

But, man. This second video is terrible.

The Bush thing he made up was bad. I understand he was making a point, but people are going to watch this and then forget it was untrue.

Anyway, then he claims that the Obama administration told school districts that they had to ensure that all races were being disciplined at an equal rate. (He begins talking about this at the 12:00 mark). He says

Quote:

The problem is that the letter he refers to makes no such demands. Here it is.

When do they "come after you"?

Quote:
The Departments initiate investigations of student discipline policies and practices at particular schools based on complaints the Departments receive from students, parents, community members, and others about possible racial discrimination in student discipline.3 The Departments also may initiate investigations based on public reports of racial disparities in student discipline combined with other information, or as part of their regular compliance monitoring activities.
Quote:
Although statistical and quantitative data would not end an
inquiry under Title IV or Title VI
, significant and unexplained racial disparities in student discipline give rise to concerns that schools may be engaging in racial discrimination that violates the Federal civil rights laws.
In addition, they cite evidence that "the substantial racial disparities of the kind reflected in the CRDC data are not explained by more frequent or more serious misbehavior by students of color."

Not only do they never demand that races be disciplined equally, they go out of their way to say that they will not investigate based on the presence of a disparity alone.

After having created his strawman Haidt then asks "If the goal is to equalize the rates of punishment, is that fair?"

No. And that's not what is happening.

He also claims that the Minneapolis school district made changes in response to the letter, but they were investigated before they made changes:

Quote:
The new policy will be implemented as the district approves a settlement with the U.S. Department of Education, which was investigating the district over its inconsistent suspension treatment for black students.
SJWs are such a problem, but this guy has to manufacture an example?

No comment on the fact that the video you posted was based in part on a huge lie? Standard.

No comment from him on his history, or that his view of Canadian university institutions is created entirely by right wing propaganda. Sun media is a right wing tabloid. Not shocked at all that's what he's linking rather than actually trying to defend his views.

According to you. We have you and your track record vs respected professors who also give highly regarded ted talks while you accumulate a bunch of misinformed post on a poker forum, a game in wich you're not even good at. I don't think going back and forth on your interpretations is interesting at all. Your opinion is there for people to accept or as usual, disregard.

If i give you my opinion, its an anecdote. If i give you sources you want my opinion. I already told you that your argument was ignorrance of the situation, which isnt really an argument. You just have the sjw instinct to argue anyways though

This is happening on canadian campuses


These are canadian professorss



You can skip to 11:00. Some scientific gems from another canadian professor

This isn't "according to" me at all. I quoted the video carefully and provided the source document. I laid out my argument on this point pretty clearly. Of course someone isn't right because they are highly regarded or because they have given a TED talk. (If you really believed that highly regarded professors and TED presenters could never be wrong, well...then you'd be a liberal.)

Do you think I fabricated that letter? Or that I misquoted the video? I may have made a mistake, but I was pretty careful. You see, this is what academic inquiry looks like: Citing evidence, checking original sources. And not just on views you disagree with. You should be doing this with articles you agree with too.

This requires a bit of effort. You can't get at the truth just by watching videos that provoke some kind of emotional reaction. That's a recipe for believing wrong things.

You should be able to support your opinions based on sources. You aren't making any effort to connect the claims you make with the evidence you present.

Honestly, what would be the point of responding to any more of your videos? You will believe them anyway no matter how many errors or illogical arguments are present.

I'm doing to much for PU right now and so but I actually wanted to address things June Valdez said sometime.
01-25-2017 , 12:02 AM
Also no I don't have bad social skills.
01-25-2017 , 12:29 AM
Yeah, your social skills definitely seem to be top notch.

Yeah, genders studies courses sound terrible if you fabricate the things they say.

I just did a gender sensitivity course online at my university. This is what i learned:

Guy becomes a girl, and is banging a guy.

Straight or gay?
01-25-2017 , 09:55 PM
Now that is a college education right there! Worth every penny.

I think Spaceman has an incredibly dry and somewhat wacky of humor to be fair, and he very well might have been making a weird joke there.

I enjoy talking to Spaceman, but I think he's kinda mad at me lately. We have that Missouri-Kansas tension going on.

So, is gender studies a paper tiger for sjw's so we can all pay for their kool-aid? Or was there something educational in the whole class that you could use towards your profession?

What percent of your college coursework should be clearly pertaining to future job skills, IYO?
01-29-2017 , 10:38 AM
Can't have universities preserving and expanding cultural knowledge. That's an insane thought.

It wasn't a class. It was training for professors so that we can handle the nuances of gender diversity, etc.
