OT: "Marginalized" UofA student groups make demands

[ValleyCat]

They say they face "tremendous amount of discrimination." They demand free condoms & dental dams, among other things.

Do they think they are at ASu?

I wish we'd have thought of this when i was in college; we'd have demanded free beer and food at dirtbags or the buffet every weekend!

If they are so unhappy why not go to another University (ASu)?

Perhaps a part of getting an education is finding out that there is not a big silver platter out there for all nice kiddies?

I think maybe they are right. The University may in fact have a tendency to somewhat marginalize the whiny bitchy student population. And I'm okay with that.

The precious snowflakes have taken over. My favorite is penalties for uttering microaggresssions. Like with "micropayments"? If you say something like "He sold me down the river" it costs you $0.02? If you use the word "niggardly" in its proper context you pay a nickel?

I can't say how much I detest the idea that one makes a deliberate and conscious choice on what college they go to and then decide to radically change the place they chose. These people realize they can vote with their feet right?

[El Gato]

Seems that one of the issues has traction throughout higher education.

"...people who menstrate..." That's a microaggession. I can't menstrate (not that I've tried) so I'm not a person? Why must we divide ourselves into people who menstrate and people who don't.

You want marginalized? Try this one out. Student tries to take a poster from the hotel.
