You do realize that the purpose of multicultural courses is to provide space for teachers to elucidate on cultures and marginalized peoples that often go underrepresented in normal history and culture courses? If you wanted to learn about men you could have taken literally any other course at your university.

Also, I think they take away your official "Fulbright scholar" badge the second you say something like "nasty princesses" like for reals that was the best you could do with that much education? Yet you'll probably ignore this, just because I had the courage to speak up for your girlfriend, your mother, the daughters you will have, and for your sisters.

Shame on you for not even being willing to learn anything, and for being unprepared to consider the opinions or views of anyone who isn't yourself.

The planet is one big deafening microphone which regularly shatters the eardrums of the population about matters concerning women. The comparative male voice is that of a diminutive ant which is shaken by the reverberating message. The gynocentric noise emitted will probably be how far away aliens discover our existence.

Shame on you for not even being willing to learn anything, and for being unprepared to consider the opinions or views of anyone who isn't yourself.

'Shaming' tactics won't work on the informed membership here, it's only a red rag to a bull.

There's 'learning' in the traditional sense where logic, objectivity, experiment and evaluation are encompassed (I know that's blasphemous language to feminists), and then there's being willingly susceptible to an unrelenting propaganda machine that spews out biased ideological propaganda. Feminism works because certain people have a gullible disposition to cultish ideologies and because it facilitates their own bigoted intolerance.

You don't speak for me, sweetheart. If you're stupid enough to believe the crap that comes out of your mouth, that's on you. Try thinking for yourself instead of just believing everything they told you at school and in the media.

Better yet, try reading what is on this site and educating yourself before you say something else stupid. I'm willing to give you a chance, but seriously, start with some facts instead political correctness.

And instead of adding to their sense of victim-hood and making them more resentful it sounds like he attempted to temper it by pointing out that life as "average white bloke" isn't quite as chaise longue and grapes as most of these courses would have them believe.

A bit of balance is usually considered a good thing.

Shame on all those men for doing stuff throughout history ......... bad men, selfish men, how dare they!!

Wow. I am sorry, whoever you are, but your words are just plain hurtful. I agree with KellyMac...I may be a fellow woman, but your ideas are not my ideas and your prejudices are not my prejudices.

Pray tell, since it seems you were a student of the class in question;
How would YOU have taught it? Would you have included men at all? From your post, I'm guessing not...

As Trav's and Kel's presence, and contributions, show clearly: we are not a men's club nor are we an intolerant hate factory.

ex·trap·o·late/ikˈstrapəˌlāt/

Verb:

Extend the application of (a method or conclusion, esp. one based on statistics) to an unknown situation by assuming that existing...: "results extrapolated to other groups"; "it is always dangerous to extrapolate from a sample" Estimate or conclude (something) in this way: "attempts to extrapolate likely human cancers from laboratory studies".

In simpler terms, to assume that the "specific" or the "limited" represents the "typical".

This methodology is at the core of feminist pseudoscience, and its academic presentation.

Even in the most neutral light, it would be hard to argue that women's issues are under-represented in academic or media venues, and I say this with tongue firmly clamped between teeth to keep from summing it up with a guttural, "duh..."

Is someone seriously going to assert that here?

To quote one of my least favorite politicians in history:

Yes, I would have included men. As this is a multicultural class, not a women's studies class, it seems the aim was to study issues and ideas behind cultures that aren't predominantly Anglo-Saxon men. Depending on the time period that was most important to the curriculum, and the cultures that were the main focus, I would have suggested readings from such authors as W.E.B DuBois, Richard Wright, Langston Hughes, Sherman Alexie, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Samuel R. Delany, etc.

The world is not broken up into people who hate men and people who do not, the world is nothing like that simple. I can dislike the tone and attitude of the original poster - as to me he sounded much like a child who had not gotten his way - that does not signify that I am single minded in my dislike, nor that I cannot recognize and enjoy works by men.

A 'culture' must include both men and women, otherwise it cannot be described as so. Are you saying the multicultural class does study Anglo-Saxon women, but not men?

Given how thoroughly integrated feminism is within every subject throughout academia, besides gender/women's studies and social sciences, it matters not the name of the course, for it's ideology permeates every conceivable subject, no matter how obscure or seemingly unrelated. The credibility of academic subjects then become secondary to being utilized as platforms to disseminate propaganda. Students are then reduced to being empty vessels to which ideology is poured in.

I do believe this was the original idea, my friend.

I know it's tempting to be overly concerned with semantics when engaged in debate, so I'll allow this an answer. Though I'm not certain of the content of the course in question, said course may not have chosen to include women of European descent in their discussion. However, if we're to look at the OED's definition of "culture:"

The distinctive ideas, customs, social behaviour, products, or way of life of a particular nation, society, people, or period. Hence: a society or group characterized by such customs, etc.

You'll see that there's no condition that it be comprised of a certain number of genders.

And no, honestly, feminism hasn't been thoroughly integrated in every subject throughout academia. I'm sorry you had a bad experience reading A Vindication of the Rights Of Women but it's going to be okay, I promise.

Also, I would be interested to hear what you think of when you think "propaganda."

Was it something I said about not having a strong opinion about gay marriage,

I take it you realise you have flagged your position to the Left which control universities nowadays in the West - you had better recant your poor opinion of gay marriage or they will railroad you; remember when in Rome ...........

I'm a whiny far left, cretin who lives in a fantasy land and jaded perspective of history fed to me at a young age by even whinier, far left, cretins.

I have to ask, how does it make you feel to acknowledge that without white, anglo-saxon, straight men you'd still be fingering your asshole eating what comes out whilst dancing round a fire giving praise to the sungod making monkey noises in Africa?

LOL.
