Hey, you can have as many genders as you like, but there's still just two sexes, says me. <br />On the main point I certainly agree and have agreed with the author's position on being PC for...well, forever. Those involved will have a terrible time seeing this as a backlash against them, and will most likely double-down. And I think Bill Maher's mea culpa about crying wolf is revealing and, I think, in the current case, still largely unsubstantial. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

One of the most vocal guests on CBC was a black lesbian American commentator who railed against Trump and all his supporters as dumb racists. She also railed against Hilary and the Dem party who didn't support Black Lives Matter et al as much as they should have:"they only respect us when they want something from us."<br /><br />All I could think of as she railed was that stuff must really irk the general American public a lot: no wonder they voted for Trump. Meanwhile my facebook page is full of family and friends predicting Armageddon . Me, I'm more sanguine (my general nature.)<br /><br />I was surprised mind you but not shocked. And I am not ever prepared to label almost half of America as stupid and racist.

It can't be that they all find jobs with the government or academia. I can't imagine that marching around outraged will be a paying career. We're running desperately short of middle class people the government can continue to kick like an ATM. We're running out of employed people who live IN cities in the private sector where they productively make something as opposed to financial wizardry. <br /><br />I seriously doubt we can keep going much more. It will be one hell of an end of the world party.

As far as anything to do with alleged "genders" please give me a break. I went to college to learn something, not to become fuzzy. BTW, just when did Asian kids become white and spoiled little middle class white girls become POC? And why don't "white" students get a space after having to put up with all this nonsense. File it under "sick joke" in the Twilight Zone. <br />JeffwithaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073609950380822171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-7989553901435687052016-11-06T13:15:23.622-08:002016-11-06T13:15:23.622-08:00Well you know what I will say.

Before that, you were child until about 14 or 15 and then you were in practical terms, an adult. With the rise of the non agrarian middle class in America there arose an idea that young people were not young big people but something quite different - people who live in a twilight state between childhood and adulthood. As they transition from one to the other they experience and experiment with different things with equal parts freedom and measured paternalist control. Some responsibility coupled with a great deal of micro management. Even more management than small children are subjected to because of the ramifications of their so called free choice. The social contract was altered to accommodate adolescents from the age of 13-18 in the space of such things like juvenile justice, work laws, age of consent, laws limiting privileges and access to driving, alcohol, fighting in wars.<br /><br />We're now at the point where that's become a monster in some ways. In some states a 13 year old girl can obtain an abortion without any parental notification or involvement. But she can't buy cigarettes until 19 or 21 in some places or buy alcohol until 21 while driving a car is largely unrestricted after age 16. And there are some people who want 16 year olds to vote but they want to raise the driving age to 18.<br /><br />Now you toss a bunch of youngsters who have never been under NO parental control for very long before into an environment where the college assumes a weird kind of partial in loco parentis role that protects these 'children' from their own parents, eg. they don't share grades or transcripts or medical records. <br /><br />And if that wasn't confusing enough, biologists now say that neurologically, childhood extends to age 25. Health insurance on your parents' dime extends to 26 (29 in New York), you can't rent a car until age 23, the DREAM act assumes immigrant 'children' up to age 30.<br /><br />So if anything, the 120 year old notion of adolescence has expanded to the upper 20's. It used to be 13-18 but now there's a super-adolescence that lasts another 10 years. We tell these 'college students' that they're still not fully formed adults and then we give them 99% of the rights and freedoms of adults and we are astonished that they really don't fully grasp either the reality or the responsibilities of that status. Of course they sound silly.
