Another spot on, scathing commentary of the hypocrisy and toxicity of the left. These participants are like hamsters on a doom-scroll wheel, in a cage they’ve created themselves.

I remember when UNC-Greensboro set up the Women's Studies program with money donated by my formerly Republican father in honor of my formerly head -of-the-Republican Women something or other -turned democrat stepmother for a birthday present. I remembered , when I got over my revulsion at the whole thing, "This movement is not going to prove to be a good thing."As a woman, I think women unwittingly ceded their true power during the "women's movement". They looked at the world through a very jaded, narrow lens. After so many years, MY now very jaded narrow lens sees them as having cut off their noses to spite their faces. Whatever common sense they once had has been allowed to shrivel and mummify through disuse. JUST MY EXPERIENCE AND OPINION!!!

Seems to me they reached within themselves and pulled out their considerable personal power and handed it to these ugly, stunted demagogues

"ugly" far deeper than skin, and unattractive, throw in mean and stupid is where this cult dominates.

My mother's sentiment about the women's movement was that is was the worst thing that ever happened to women!

It was a socialist movement to destabilize the US by destabilizing the family.

And so any of them are women - slightly overweight, not very pretty, and with the look of having a large chip on the shoulder. Definitely not the kind of woman any man would want to have around. Gotta feel kinda bad for the poor demoralized females.

I do NOT feel sorry for them! The whole women's movement was driven by already fragile egos.

The amazing thing about these soul-less drones is that they can have multiple Ivy League degrees, multiple homes, millions in the bank and lucrative sinecures where they do nothing but preach to the choir and pat themselves on the back...and yet still imagine themselves as oppressed fighters for Justice battling the Man and his patriarchial systems.

No wonder they're all women on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the reality of who they are as people and their narcissistic self-image are so discordant that one ego bruise is enough to crush them mentally.

Academia is run by a Cluster B matriarchy, which is why it produces nothing but florid performances of emotional incontinence.

A brilliant summation of the self-reinforcing echo chamber these narcissistic buffoons populate. The real tragedy is revealed in the perpetuation of the "disempowered woman" as helpless victim mindset, in the next generation of leftist acolytes.

Graduated from Barnard in the early 80s. Can confirm that it was one of the original longhouses. Alumnae engagement always aimed at audience of predominantly "radical" (while very financially comfortable) rabidly pro-abort, pro-female domination women. Funnily enough, male trannies now admitted as students.

The “Women’s Movement”, with all its various monikers, delivered this cluster of women “leaders”. Enjoy the trash in your self-constructed HELL. You haven’t had a clue for decades.

You can tell the strength of a society by the quality of the people it chooses to lead. Our leadership is feeble and deranged.

I dated a Barnard girl for about a year after I got off active duty. White, lower-middle class enlisted infantryman... with a wealthy Persian girl. It didn't work out.

I do remember hanging out in the dorms and talking to these young ladies and being struck by the number of 'socialists' and 'anarchists'. Honestly, these people are children.

It's the administrators and professors (who are also children, in their views of the world, but aren't young enough to claim that excuse) that are really malign and inexcusable. You run a fucking institution. Run your institution and stop kow-towing to 19-year rich kid radicals. Adults have re-entered the room and there will now be consequences. ALL of these professionals are cowards. All of them.

"The Dean will not even LISTEN to any ideas that she perceives differs from hers."

Always have a happy chuckle when we get to the inevitable mewling about how "this is the worst sort of discrimination, it's against US!".

Protests wearing Palestinian garb is pro-Hamas? No, it’s pro-Life, Anti-War, Anti-Genocide, and maybe in some cases Anti-Zio.

Palestine, and the Hamas terrorists it worships, is just one facet of the third world death cult. Remind us all again, why none of the other muzzy countries around them will take in their refugees? Oh yea, it's a two-fer; they get to keep the news cycle dominated by poor refugees being persecuted by big bad Israel but know damn well that those refugees would only sow discord with their own followers of the pedo prophet.

Palestinians are just the latest in the pound-puppy victim brigade. Do they have their own stripe on that ugly oppression flag yet?

Islam is an enemy of Christianity and the West founded by a ruthless, pedophilic warlord. It is a backwards political ideology despite any positive traits it may profess or embody.

There is no reason the West can't be "pro-Life, Anti-War, Anti-Genocide, and maybe in some cases Anti-Zio" without the assistance of Islam and, in fact, historically has been before the destruction of the Bolsheviks and Vatican II.

So, when does the killing end? Zios are ALWAYS the victims . Please explain why the indigenous Jewish peoples, Palestinians and christians co-habitated peacefully until after WW2 when the Israeli colonial project began with the movement out of Europe after the Holocaust. Hatred is not enough to explain tribal warfare’s historical roots nor is hollow rhetoric that’s been debunked a 100,000 times or more today and in ‘48.

I am not defending the genociders. They are usurpers and a synagogue of Satan. I am simply saying Islam is not to be allied with or trusted despite any positive they may give or produce for a cause.

Historically, the West (and Russia) were anti-zionist. There is no reason to rely on Muslims who also happen to be anti-zionist as we are quite capable of our own thought and action. Will this happen? Likely not as most of the West are brainwashed with WWII rewrites and act as Zionist bootlickers.

Islam needs to be eradicated from Western (i.e. Christian (despite the Great Apostasy upon us)) nations and Zionists need to be returned to their historical role of diaspora until the blindness is removed from their eyes.

I work in a religious institution and received a large envelope last week. We have a nice musical instrument and the sender wanted to come and do a recital there. I opened the envelope and looked at the nicely prepared folder about her and saw two things: A CD of Ukrainian music and that she taught at Vassar. The folder went into the garbage.

Ha! Just discovered this person is the "director of the music program at Barnard College, Columbia University, where she conducts the Barnard-Columbia Chorus and Chamber Singers and a faculty member of the Harriman Institute, Columbia University". Glad I dumped it.

It's very interesting how the appointment of Barnard Leadership reflects The American Political Elites Movements. Before Rosenbury, who may be similar to Joe Biden, A Donald Trump-- and perhaps there will be another for Barnard University.

I wonder was The USSR similar in this respect? Did University Elites and Institutions resemble Political Elites and Institutions, almost mimicking each other?
