A traditional feminist on the current crop of “third wave” feminism on college campuses:
The women’s movement’s insistence upon adhering to a philosophy of “intersectionality,” Sommers believes, makes impossible any turn back towards moderation.
“Intersectionality is the reigning philosophy in today’s campus diversity movement. It’s an illiberal doctrine that views society as a network of interlocking, mutually re-inforcing oppressions (racism, sexism, classism, heterosexism—the list keeps growing). Ideals like free expression or due process are dismissed as ploys used by oppressors to maintain power,” she told me. “Students who have imbibed their intersectional catechism feel virtuous when they stop someone from an oppressor group from speaking…Until that theory goes out of style campuses will remain hostile environments for freedom.”

Marxists knew that the key to revolution in the US was to finally change the culture – there is no larger linchpin to doing so than to control our language and to censor our Right to Free Speech. Guess who is winning on these Leftist marinaded colleges? Parents, send your kids to Hillsdale College.
