No one wants to be labelled a misogynist. My experiences with the fairer sex have, until recently been very rewarding. So why are today’s universities so jam-packed with passive-aggressive females?
As you say, the universities have been thoroughly corrupted by extremist ideologies that destroy the demand for merit, that lead to incompetence, and that lead to intolerance. To put it more bluntly, the universities are racist, sexist, and increasingly useless. DEI is just one of many gifts of the past ten years of Liberal Party demolishing of our culture and institutions. Universities are an important but small part of the decline and collapse of the country that once was Canada and now is Turtle Island, and island sinking into a sea of mediocrity and incompetence.
One further comment, as I re-read parts of this, while many of the admin characters you mention happen to be women (and whose psychopathologies manifest in female typical ways) they really represent hardcore ideologues, and people with whom you cannot negotiate. In my life, when I have encountered unreasonable people where you have no common ground and irreconcilable differences, all you can do it walk away. In our peaceful democratic society these fundamental differences get resolved at the ballot box and in general you don't have to deal with those people. In places where they don't have these systems, and the extremists eventually try to force their views on others (its in their natures), violence often ensues.
I just want to say how much I appreciate your writing, both in content and form. I don't personally interact much with the types you describe (at the current time) but I am well aware they exist. The Dolores Umbridge's of the world very much exist. As you say, the current state of affairs is not sustainable. I don't how it will change, but it WILL change. I suspect that the competent, capable and rational (and men, especially) will start to do things than attend university. THAT has its own problems, but anyone with self respect will not put up with what you have had to endure - over the long run.
