Did women in academia cause wokeness?

submitted by Fourth_stage from self.debatealtright

"According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the percentage of “faculty in degree-granting postsecondary institutions” who are women increased from 33% in 1987 to 50% in 2018."

"So, why would the influx of women into academia have contributed to its leftward shift, and to the rise of woke activism in particular? As the psychologist Cory Clark notes, women are consistently less supportive of free speech than men, and consistently more supportive of censorship. Compared to men, they’re more likely to say: that hate speech is violence; that it’s acceptable to shout down a speaker; that controversial scientific findings should be censored; that people need to be more careful about the language they use; and that it should be illegal to say offensive things about minorities."

All "minorities" are more likely to be this way because the left panders to them. It's not inherent.

I would argue that more women in academia is the result of wokeness and "men bad" agendas, not the cause of it.

It sure is a factor. Look up Leah DeVun, a "medievalist" who asserts that trannies and nonbinarirs were part and parcel of Medieval Europe from what I gather.

I have heard tell she used to have a bf in high school....

Women are more susceptible in some ways to jew lies and manipulation tactics if they aren't redpilled. Women are naturally more empathetic and caring, owing to their biological role of child-rearing, and these traits are exploited by propaganda to bluepill them, and do so quite durably as they feel like any opposition to this propaganda is harming the groups they've been tricked into empathizing with.

Women too often use sex and manipulation against meritocracy. And there are always men who will give in.
