Canada: "In defence of white male students"

Article here. Excerpt:

'...“The presidents of the major universities are very concerned we are not attracting young men in the numbers we should,” says Samarasekera, who worries about a loss of gender diversity in the future ranks of CEOs and judges. That was cause for concern when men outnumbered women, she argues—why not now? “We’ll wake up in 20 years and we will not have the benefit of enough male talent.”

The remarks didn’t sit well with some at the U of A. Derek Warwick, a women’s studies major, decided to respond—he and his friends plastered 300 posters mocking Samarasekera around campus. One, borrowing a motif from the 1958 flick Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, depicted a towering female student menacing the campus, with the tagline, “Women are attacking campus!”

Warwick was threatened with penalties ranging from probation to expulsion for distributing “malicious material.”'

"Of course they want more white male students, in fact more male students in general. This is because everyone else needs someone to blame when you don't get your way all the time.

I mean, how can you be oppressed if there are now evil white downpressormen to actually point to?"

I also posted this:

"At the same time I also stand in defense (defence) of free speech on college campuses. As obnoxious at Ms. Warwick's papering of "humorous" signs on campus was, the admins should not have threatened her with penalties for doing so. If she can be threatened (or an attempt made) by sanction into silence, then so can MRAs. And don't we know it."
