College is not reality.
SciFi is not reality.
Out of curiosity, what were you hoping to learn from that class?
Feminists want women to have political, economic, and social rights equal to those of men.
Just because people with their own personal agendas have highjacked the movement, doesn't negate the primary premise.
Just ignore the extraneous stuff and stick with the basics, which in the real world is equality.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

academia is our best translation and interpretation of reality.
Good Grief, I hope not!

in reality no body wants to fight or one-up each other or anything. people, in reality, want to eat and sleep in peace and to protect and be with those they love.
If this was true for every human being, then this should be a very peaceful world.
quote:
then academics filter it and analyze it and then you average people get the dumbed-down result on the discovery channel
Then when us average people have to apply those theories to practical application, we find that they don't always work as theorized.

academia is shaping our new society
Give me a simple example of how academia shapes a society.
I'm only average, so keep it simple.

Equalist
quote:
well, i figured that i was for equal rights for women in the political, social, and economic arenas and that made me a feminist. turns out i was wrong.
I guess I just be an Equalist then. It may not be a word, but I'm guessing Feminist wasn't either when they started.
I'll stick with my agriculture, it's healthier for me.
In the 1997 census of agriculture it showed that women own almost half of the private agricultural land in the United States. The number of independent female farmers is steadily increasing.
