UK: Campus Nags Want to Change How Male Students Think

Article here. Excerpt:

'None of the rugby clubs at Oxford has been implicated in any crimes. But the university administration has nonetheless decided to make all of them sit through one-hour "anti-misogyny classes" in an attempt to "combat sexism on campus." Any rugby-playing student who refuses to be lectured about the rottenness of sexist thinking will be forbidden from playing in this year's Cuppers Final, an annual clash of Oxford's various college rugby teams. That is, they're being strong-armed to submit themselves to a moral clear-out of their minds.
...
As part of their re-education programme, the students gather on public streets near the L.S.E. holding placards saying "A good lad...", and then they fill in the blank. "A good lad frees himself of gender stereotypes"; "A good lad understands that feminism isn't a dirty word"; and so on. To see these students holding up self-critical placards in public is extraordinary, and sad. It's like something out of Mao's China, when disobedient professors and artists were likewise paraded in public with insulting placards, usually hung around their necks, identifying them as intellectual reprobates. Fast forward 50 years, and students at L.S.E. are being publicly identified as moral reprobates, sinners against the new orthodoxy of P.C. speech and feministic censure.'

The players aren't even "implicated" in saying anything un-PC, as if same ought to be punishable by placard-wearing. They're being treated as "guilty" based on 2 things: sex and ass'n w/ a sports team.

IMO, anyone who doesn't by now see what's happening here is simply choosing not to.
