Christina Hoff Sommers takes on modern feminism and trigger warnings

Story here. Excerpt:

'Christina Hoff Sommers has encountered some resistance from campuses she’s been to. Sommers said although she didn’t feel scared, her visit to Oberlin last year was the first time she had been provided with security guards.

While her visit to Oberlin was contentious, Sommers was well received at Ohio University on Tuesday night.

Robert Ingram, the founding director of the George Washington Forum at OU, said he was initially approached about bringing in Sommers by Anna Lippincott, the president of OU College Republicans. The forum has, on occasion, worked with student groups to bring speakers to campus.

Sommers, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and author of several books and articles, has been vocal about her stance on modern feminism throughout her career. Sommers said she identifies as an "equity feminist," which promotes equality between both men and women.

“She looks at the world a different way. She’s definitely a non-conformist,” Lippincott said. “She kind of expresses those grievances that the rest of us feel who maybe don’t identify with that 'hardcore feminist movement' right now.”'
