Jim Goad on the Dalhousie situation

Jim Goad writes:

At a recent panel on misogyny—sounds like a humdinger of a time—Haiven suggested that her personal policy of women-and-darkies-first should be implemented throughout the school.

Also at the panel was a certain Jude Ashburn, who pretends he is a chick yet in the real world is nothing more than a guy who pretends he is a chick. Ashburn describes himself as a “non-binary trans person,” as if that picture of him didn’t give you enough reason to dislike him already. (…)

What world do these people live in where women and blacks have a problem speaking up? The problem usually lies in getting them to be quiet, no?
