Because this story can't be true.

PLEASE tell me this can't be true!

And satire became more elusive yet... I didn't think it was possible.

As much of a crapfest the PUA/MRA movement is and how much of a pile of loser pustules the adherents are, the special snowflake SJWs manage to be an order of magnitude worse.

Not being familiar w/ Milo Alphabetname, I perused his Wiki entry. This caught the eye:

Quote

In October 2015, Yiannopoulos and feminist Julie Bindel were scheduled to participate in the University of Manchester Free Speech and Secular Society's debate ′From liberation to censorship: does modern feminism have a problem with free speech?′, but the student union banned Bindel, then later also Yiannopoulos.[50] The union cited Bindel's comments on transgender women and Yiannopoulos' opinions on rape culture, which they stated were both in breach of the union's safe space policy.[51][52]

Now why does that sound so all-fired familiar? Almost as if I'd read similar stories from academia a hundred times...


The title of that event is awfully apropos: the left has gone from liberating [sic] women, to censoring any men or women that disagree with them.

And academia as a whole has moved from being a bastion of intellectual freedom to being a prison of [leftist] political correctness and social/intellectual orthodoxy and intolerance. It used to be that we sent our young people to college to be exposed to a wide range of thoughts and ideas. Now, whatever the parents' motives, the young seem to be so feeble-minded that their brains explode at the mere suggestion that a different opinion might be within hailing distance.

Just wait and see what college will turn into when everyone can go to college for free.
