Seeing in that they brought up the topic of baby penises, intersex genitalia, and anti-men debate up on the first day of class, I definitely don't think I'm overreacting when I say the class made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I'm glad I dropped it for a gardening class. At the end of the day, growing food will be a better skill than learning about baby genitals and intersex theory.

There no such thing as intersex theory. They are just misrepresenting us and lying about our conditions, and acting against what intersex organisations are asking to do...but we don't have such support and finances and coverage as trans lobby, so we are just ignored and used as cannon fodder and "gotcha" by gender identity ideologists.

Thanks for the confirmation. Also, if you don't mind sharing, what exactly was the subject of the debate that occurred on your first day of class?

Basically, on the first day of class we began talking about intersex terms and how there are 5 sexes that are determined by looking at baby genitalia (these sexes being male and female and then the three types of intersex configurations). After that we then began to talk about research bias and how scientific research isn’t to be trusted because it is “funded primarily by straight wealthy white men with conservative political agenda.” This then caused a stir in the class that caused all the SJWs to start lashing out on all the cis males in the class, myself included. I then dropped the class after I kept being told I was privileged by classmates when I simply said that not all white men who research are doing it for conservative reasons. The class was WAY too woke for me and I’m very glad to be out of it. On my last day of class, I mentioned that men have several struggles as well, such as genital mutilation from birth, higher suicide rates, and other men’s issues. These obviously were dismissed.

Uh, whoa. That is a blatant lie. (Also that's goddamn weird.) In case you haven't heard it in your classes, as a sanity check:

  • There are 2 types of gametes that human reproduction is based on (sperm and ova).

  • Correspondingly, there are 2 sexes.

The fact that you were fed this pseudoscientific lie in a college class is actually insane. I am so sorry you're having to deal with this bullshit. Hope the gardening class goes much better!

This then caused a stir in the class that caused all the SJWs to start lashing out on all the cis males in the class, myself included.

What in the?! That's nuts. Yeah, I'm really glad you dropped that class.

As another example of men getting the short stick-- being a gay male is illegal in about 90 countries and being a gay female is illegal in around 45. And gay men, far and away, have the highest rate of being targeted for anti-homophobic hate crimes in the alphabet soup.

Thank you for the details. That's feminist epistemology for ya'. Best of luck to you with your college career in the future.
