From the University that crushes its own students with a bonfire, please enjoy tonight's entertainment of the Aggies siccing Reveille to bite off their own noses, because their faces allegedly deserved it. Indeed, it is sure to be yet another act of unnecessary aggression that shall live in infamy .

No one's allowed to have a gender identity, got it.
If you can't discuss "topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity" are they also planning to eliminate psychology, anthropology, sociology...? It seems difficult to engage in any discipline that studies humans without talking about those things.
They cancelled some teachings of Plato in philosophy classes. So yeah, nothing is safe.
Don't give them ideas. College provides the two things that threaten fascists: education and community
Why didn't they just keep the programs on Women and Gender Studies and add a program just to study Men?
They could call the major Man Study: Finally A Program For MEN
That would have been way more funny at least, this is just heartbreaking and sad.
Republican men already study other men. Inside and out.
Something wrong with that?
When they condemn the LGBTQ+ community and create laws punishing them, then yes.
Well honestly that probably would have been hugely beneficial. How many of these MAGATs are the incel men that have been shat on by society? Men are always told we don't go to therapy and blah blah.... if we as a society focused on the toxic environment men are raised in more it could slow down this death spiral were are in as a species.
Ironically, this is one example of a place where feminism benefits men. In removing the stigma of vulnerability being a womanly trait, it opens it up for men to be more vulnerable
Love seeing this acknowledged. So many of the societal harms we trace back to men and then we fail to engage with why men end up that way.
We do men and boys an enormous disservice by essentially raising them to be emotionally stunted and interpersonally dysfunctional. And then they grow up and they subject more boys to the abuse that was normalized to them- because hurt people inflict more hurt on others.
But if you say the word "patriarchy", men who are deeply hurting under said patriarchy will disengage and treat the idea as a threat to be defeated because they, like everyone else, are a product of their socialization, and their socialization teaches them that of they fail to measure up to the rubric of masculinity, they are a failure, and that masculinity is the ideal. Questioning that is a non-option.
If you wanna address those societal harms you have to start by raising generations of healthier boys and men, and protecting them from the abuse that is the normal response when those men and boys try to learn how to engage with their emotions.
Shit makes me sad. And instead of engaging with men's issues in addition to women's, our government decides we should just stop engaging with women's issues, because this admin is patriarchy incarnate. No questioning the status quo.
I did a ton of research about the neurological differences (the kind controlled by hormones like oxytocin) between men and women for a book... Men and women are equally emotional but testosterone is a literally "chemical brake" on tear production... Which is a stress reliever (reduces cortisol).
What this means is that if you have a room full of people and the women are crying because something awful happened, it's likely that the men would also be crying if they didn't have testosterone cutting it off. The same emotions are there, it's just they aren't as visible (external) in the men.
That's just the most obvious, easy thing to explain (everyone understand tears) but there's so, so much more to this kind of thing. Understanding these sorts of differences would be greatly beneficial to society. If only there were some area of study for this kind of thing...
They already have that.
It's called History.
Another common texas L
Soon to be replaced with a how to be a good trad wife classes.
Bold of you to assume they'll let women go to college at all
Nonsense, there’s money to be made in the MRS degree.
Everybody knows women just go to college to find a man to marry.
/🤮
From now on, Texas only supports uniformity, inequity and exclusion!
Please define 'gender ideology', Texas.
