Discriminating Against Male Students in ASU Gender Studies Classes

To discriminate against a student is to single them out for different treatment based on a physical characteristic, religious belief, or political affiliation. In my school at ASU, a professor boasted about having done just that. What were the consequences? Encouragement and cheers of support from the other faculty. What was happening?

A gender studies professor decided that male students needed to know what it is like to be a woman. To accomplish this, the professor required the male students to shave their legs and armpits during the semester. In other words, male students were singled out for differential treatment, and their grades depended on complying with this discrimination.

A few observations. If I were a woman, I would take offense at this. As if shaving one’s legs has anything to do with being a woman (I actually know many male simmers and weightlifters who shave their legs and arms).

How does this professor know who is a male student? Either the professor assumes to know, or the professor asks the students to identify themselves and, once against, discriminates.

Why were the rest of the faculty ok with this? I am certain they would object if the discrimination could be tied to a right-wing cause. But when it is a cause they are sympathetic with, they are hypocritical and support discrimination based on gender. And get this: they will be much more upset with me for talking about this publicly than they ever will be at this gender studies professor for actually discriminating. That’s where I work, my friends.

I’ll have some more stories to share with you about how this professor promotes “menstrual activism” among female students.
