An altar guild matron commenting on a retired straight white male priest in the presence of the new lesbian divorcee priest made the new minister feel "unsafe" somehow and a gay parishioner knowing that a particular priest would only officiate at "opposite gender" weddings made him feel "unsafe". This institution is now quite smaller and presumably safer. <br />I think most of this nonsense is really about the demand to be affirmed and even celebrated by the white breeders.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-12689776216756099482014-03-23T22:27:42.758-07:002014-03-23T22:27:42.758-07:00For example, sexually predatory faculty are rare b...<i>For example, sexually predatory faculty are rare but not completely absent, and just one or two in a department can create a very uncomfortable environment for female students there.</i><br /><br />What if the predator is gay/lesbian?

I think they do have some legitimate grievances. For example, sexually predatory faculty are rare but not completely absent, and just one or two in a department can create a very uncomfortable environment for female students there.<br /><br />The trouble is that legitimate grievances like these get mixed up with other issues that, at best, are legitimate but have nothing to do with women per se, and, at worst, are "microaggression" nonsense like women feeling uncomfortable because of perceived unconscious slights by professors or students. There's an assumption that those of us skeptical about the latter must not be against the former either, and this serves to polarize people unnecessarily, usually (unsurprisingly) along political/ideological lines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-69695303536334825532014-03-23T07:39:39.092-07:002014-03-23T07:39:39.092-07:00They are commissars.
