Marking Their Territory
And in totally-radical-toilet news:
Female students at one of Latin America’s top Universities say trans activists staged a coup of a single-sex washroom on their campus,
It started, you see, with feminist students painting a lesbian pride symbol on a wall near a campus library. As one does. This act of fearless self-involvement apparently inflicted nerve-shredding trauma on the trans activist contingent, who promptly denounced the lesbians as “TERFs, colonial fascists, and transphobes,” before announcing that lesbians are only permitted to use symbols of lesbianism that they, the trans activists, find congenial.
Shortly after, as a result of the lesbian symbol that had been painted, the trans students reportedly declared that they “did not feel safe” on the campus and went to administrators to demand a gender-neutral washroom be established in that area. While administrators agreed to create one, the students did not wait for it to be designated. Less than 24 hours later, the activists took over the largest female restroom, which was on the second floor of the Faculty of Philosophy.
Ah, the life of the mind.
Naturally, the first task was to give the toilets a makeover via the uplifting medium of graffiti, thereby communicating the life-enhancing qualities of prostitution:
“Less abolitionism, more whoring,” and “less TERFs, more sex” were among the slogans painted outside of the washroom. The “female” bathroom designation was also erased and replaced with “gender neutral.”
Needless to say, the conflict has escalated.
In response to the bathroom putsch, some feminist students on campus attempted to mark the washroom with their own graffiti.
With the facilities now being used by rival tribes, all gorged on intersectional compassion – and with so much graffiti to be written and responded to indignantly – students are reporting queues and “lengthy wait times.” The situation is particularly fraught due to the space’s history of radicalism and, naturally, sexual assaults:
Sexual assaults at UNAM are so common that the University recently had to install emergency buttons inside of the cubicles of women’s washrooms.
The emergency buttons have, it seems, inspired ever-loftier politics:
Photos snapped inside show violent threats have now emerged, directed at the women. One, which was menacingly placed near an assault crisis button, reads: “rape and death for TERFs.”
Because nothing says ‘We only want to pee’ quite like threats of rape and murder.
The author of the quoted piece, Ms Nuria Muíña Garcia, has more on the saga.
Oh, and if the National Autonomous University of Mexico sounds familiar, you may be thinking of this odyssey of radicalism.
Because any acknowledgment of reality is a dastardly plot.
I thought they were The Party of Science(TM).
How come only the climate scientists get to be infallible, but biologists and geneticists get lumped in with creationists?
How come only the climate scientists get to be infallible…?
Only those climate scientists who toe the party line.
Increase your vocabulary.
Increase your vocabulary.
Also: “Brush up your Shakespeare, start quoting him now.“
Only those climate scientists who toe the party line.
True, but the ones who refer to themselves as “climate scientists” also tend to be the ones who toe the party line.
Funny how sex is “assigned at birth” according to trans ideologues, but other intrinsic properties of the organism, such as mammal, chordate, etc aren’t. I’m waiting for species to be “assigned at birth” for those people who think they’re cats, dragons, etc later in life.
Black privilege
I am fond of old southern US insults:
“just fell off the turnip truck” the poor in the South grew turnips and transported them to market in open pickup trucks. The young workers would sit on the turnips. If you fell off you were young, poor, and unable even to sit on turnips properly
“a few bricks short of a load” something missing mentally
“bless his heart” as in “he tried to fix the fence, bless his heart”–ie not really capable and we should pray for them, poor souls
This is exactly the masculinity that we desperately need … and it comes from 12/13 y/os boys.
4 polynesian boys ages 13-16 went out fishing and were shipwrecked on a deserted island. They were there 6 months. They took care of themselves including rescuing one boy from a cliff with a broken leg and setting the leg so it healed properly. In contrast some college students seem unable to even do their laundry. It depends on what is expected of people.
Homeschool your children.

I read about that a few years ago, in an essay that contrasted it with the novel Lord of the Flies.
Also: “Brush up your Shakespeare, start quoting him now.”
I actually have a tin of Shakespeare insult bandages one of my kids got me from the Stratford Festival store.
“You can’t arrest me n****, I just got out of jail after 5 months.”
“Doing what?”
“Murder”
Also: “Brush up your Shakespeare, start quoting him now.”
I have a group of friends from high school who when we see each other will do Act I Scene I from Romeo & Juliet:
” Sampson. Nay, as they dare. I will bite my thumb at them;
which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it.
[Enter ABRAHAM and BALTHASAR]
Abraham. Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
Sampson. I do bite my thumb, sir.
Abraham. Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? ”
et cetera.

LOL. There are also some good insults in the Aubrey-Maturin novels, such as “that infamous double-poxed baboon”.
The Pervert Who Invented “Gender”.
Perfect
Progressivism in metaphorical form.
A nicely done rebuttal, although a punch in the face would have worked, too.
@pst314, a punch to the larynx would be superior to the rebuttal as well as being superior to a punch to the face.
A nicely done rebuttal
Imagine just how perverse you’d have to have become, how psychologically and morally deformed, to screech, emphatically, in front of your peers, that people who are white “don’t have a fucking culture.” And remember, our screechy moron hasn’t stumbled across this particular brand of morony on his own. He’s dutifully regurgitating the dogma – and aping the psychological shortcomings – of his twisted, pinhead teachers.
Wokeness, dear reader. Behold its glories.
Yes, the people who taught him that evil garbage deserve far more than a punch to the larynx.
the people who taught him that evil garbage
Garbage specifically tailored to propagate the mindset and behaviour seen above. As Instapundit often quips, “Maybe letting the enemies of our civilisation teach our children was a mistake.”
’…and “less TERFs, more sex” were among the slogans painted…’
I assume there’s no English department to lay claim to the territory by striking out ‘less’ and overwriting ‘fewer’..?
The English departments are all busy inventing pronouns.

Heh. When I see my friends from school we do the first lesson from our ALM Spanish textbook:
Esta Susanna en casa?
Si, esta con una amiga
Esta en la sala?
No, en la cocina.
We try real hard not to do the accent, though. So there’s that.
You’re thinking of Chainmail, the precursor to D&D
No, I’m really not, but I’ve already used up a couple of months worth of my quota of Daniel’s Gaming Blog column inches so it’s not worth derailing any further.
I will say that if your knowledge of D&D begins and ends with the “white box” or “0th edition”, you’re simply ignorant of over 95% of the rules, product ecosystem and culture of D&D.
