My introduction to woke culture happened during our undergrad, ‘95 - ‘99. A certain female psychology professor introduced the idea that men and women were essentially the same. I found this idea preposterous (and still do) but at the time I brushed her off as out of touch with reality. Little did I know of what was to come.

Very interesting. Was this professor insinuating they shared the same biology?

JD, thank you for writing this. It accurately reflects my own experience in several classes, only in 2010-11. And subsequently since then that experience has reiterated in a multitude of forms and fashions, across CE courses, coalitions and committees, and various other academic-esque entities. All seem to be detached from reality and are walking examples of Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy, only rather than bureaucratic application, it's postmodern deconstructionist ideology to which they are lost.

Keep up the good work!
