For real. All of those kids and no commune/village/tribe to help you… Sounds awful.

I have no problem with people feeling pride about their immutable characteristics. Scottish and proud? Excellent, go put on a kilt and throw one of those giant poles; looks fun! I have a problem when “pride” is used to organize people against a vulnerable minority. So sure, enjoy your super straight free beer with a bar full of other totally straight cis men and talk about… Idk sports or something. However, given the current political climate it seems to me like this is likely a way to gather people resentful of LGBT pride’s efforts to claim equal rights. So it isn’t a gathering of proud straight men, it is likely a gathering of bitter hateful men.
LGBT pride exists to fight for equal rights and representation that cis-hetero people enjoy by default; it isn’t meant to gain an upper hand or displace cis-hetero people. Far-right extremists like to paint the movement’s goals as a way to erase white straight cis culture, but this is just reactionary propaganda to mobilize people against this minority group.
They think that first amendment rights mean that they get to be minor tyrants over their class? It is the right to speech, not the right to a fiefdom.
For real. It really is a statement about the quality of that school of their philosophy professors can’t understand the non-agression principle, or bodily autonomy, or where one persons rights ends and the other’s begins… Apparently don’t send your kids to school in Texas.
Agree. When I was in University professors took the stance that we are paying for this so if we want to skip what we are paying for, that’s our problem. We were adults and responsible for our own time management.
Most professors were researchers first and educators second so they didn’t really want to be there either…
