Meanwhile the govt allowed the tertiary sector to be destroyed this year.
But nobody who vomits up woke left or cancel culture bangs their knuckles about that.
But you don’t believe it, of course.
Which part do you consider to be in breach? If it's evidence, you haven't asked for evidence of anything, you asked for a sample article that would be a good example of my ideas, however I already stated what those were, well enough that we even began talking about them. I thought our brief chat was amicable enough before you abruptly abandoned it for some reason. Surely leaving a discussion would be the breach.
Let's recap.
You posted an article you thought was interesting because it supported your view about education. Then you decided that you didn't actually like the article.
You could not supply the report the article was based upon
You then offered a few reasons about why males are suffering in education, something about gender bias, lack of male teachers. But nothing to support that, not even personal anecdotes or anything.
And then, after one final opportunity for you to present something of substance to support your viewpoint, you told me to do my own research.
So I apologise if you felt it was an abrupt abandonment, but you had plenty of opportunity to present your case. You didn't, and I gave up.
But if you wanted to learn more, here: an article, on the internet!!!
I'm interested in why we should listen to you when you tell us what you think we should do.Leftists should be the most vigilant against things like cancel culture instead of conveniently denying its existence or becoming this defensive about it.
It's not about listening to me per se, but the left are supposed to be against bullying, violence, intimidation etc.I'm interested in why we should listen to you when you tell us what you think we should do.
Are you an expert in what Leftists think or how they behave?
I think it's interesting to be informed about what we're meant to oppose, instead of leaving that up to our good selves.It's not about listening to me per se, but the left are supposed to be against bullying, violence, intimidation etc.

Almost like you've constructed 'the Left' out of straw.
Isn't it easy when you've created a box, crammed all those who disagree with you into it, and closed it so you don't have to listen to them?It's up to you how you want to behave, but that side of the political spectrum supposedly stands against those things. Hence the hypocrisy when they use it to achieve their aims.

Must be lovely. Quiet, too.
Because you've created a false depiction, called it 'the left', and have proceeded to demostrate its hypocrisy. You are, in essence, not arguing with me; you're arguing with your own disingenuousness.I don't need to shut out disagreement, what are you disputing?

As it pertains to cancel culture, I'd say we're broadly talking about progressive orthodoxies relating to racial and social justice, gender identity, sexual preference and sexual consent. These are of course amplified by social media, which skews younger and more woke.What new progressive orthodoxies?
And try not to use the word woke.
That's an oversimplification.The students felt he promoted outdated racial stereotypes.
He resigned from teaching that class but is still employed there.
Students have a right to voice their opinions. I think a better solution is an open dialogue but he chose to resign.
Another cancel culture story destroyed.
So the question is whether the backlash - the impulse to have him removed - was justified.He didn’t resign.
A spokesman for the university, Kim Broekhuizen, confirmed that the incident had been referred to the university’s Office of Equity, Civil Rights and Title IX for investigation, but emphasized that Professor Sheng had stepped down from the class voluntarily, was still teaching individual studios, and was scheduled to teach next semester.
“We do not shy away from addressing racism or any other difficult topic with our students,” Ms. Broekhuizen said in an email to The Times. But “in this particular instance, the appropriate context or historical perspective was not provided and the professor has acknowledged that.”
From what I can see, the University and the industry had some ongoing discussions about the issue of blackface in opera. It’s a bit more complicated and it looks like everyone is trying to navigate a path through it.
It sounds a little over the top, but it also sounds like the University system the world over going through a conversion to a more commercial “the student is the customer” mindset.
Does it give you any pause that you're using a term used by those generally opposed to most of those things?As it pertains to cancel culture, I'd say we're broadly talking about progressive orthodoxies relating to racial and social justice, gender identity, sexual preference and sexual consent. These are of course amplified by social media, which skews younger and more woke.
That is not a sensible criticism.Does it give you any pause that you're using a term used by those generally opposed to most of those things?
They know they can avoid meaningful discussions about these issues by yelling woke or cancel culture.
That is not a sensible criticism.
Some wingnuts use a term disingenuously to cloak their own biases so it become off-limits for everyone? No, I don't think so. That's just an attempt to police speech and short-circuit even legitimate criticism.
Some RWers complain dishonestly about "identity politics" whenever they can. That doesn't mean that identity politics should never be criticised. Some aspects of identity politics warrant criticism.
How do we know when the progressive left has gone too far? How do we know when its requests have become unreasonable? There must be a point. How would we recognise it?
I'd say some of those new progressive orthodoxies are at least up for debate. We can't just insist that they're now the only acceptable reality and simply demand everyone complies.
Well, you're saying my arguments are invalid because I've used certain phrases. That's clearly an unreasonable criticism. You're basically suggesting that certain concepts are unsayable.Police speech.
Give it a ******* rest.
Does it give you any pause that you're using a term used by those generally opposed to most of those things?
You tell me.Unsayable?
