Title: Wood panelling intimidates college students - cited as "masculine"
Post by: Anthony on May 19, 2017, 06:34:52 AM

Anna Wibbelman, former president of Building a Better Michigan, stated at a student government meeting that “minority students felt marginalized by quiet, imposing masculine paneling” of several academic buildings around campus.

The primary building in question, the Michigan Union building, is a historical building on campus and serves as one of the most recognizable landmarks of the university.

Although the building is set to undergo a pricey $85.2 million renovation, the wood paneling is here to stay, to the dismay of minority students who finds it presence to be “intimidating.”

What are these people thinking?  Next, they'll want to take down civil war statues!

When these students enter the real world and start to complain about this stuff and get fired, they'll have only themselves to blame. This is just nonsense.

The media promotes this crap.  These Social Justice Warriors, and the media Social Justice Warriors just look for things in which to be offended by, and then dismantle.  The Civil War statues being removed is another pet peeve of mine. 

When these little freaks suffer real pain, or at least real adversity, they will melt under the pressure.

Universities have become the handmaiden of communism.
Look at how academic progressives carefully embrace only those things that damage American exceptionalism.

Some of the comments under the article are really funny.

Yep this is completely out of control.  We need a really huge disaster to come along and decimate these snowflakes so they can appreciate how good they have it.  Another black plague or an asteroid hitting the earth or something.  I'm starting to wish for that. Just wipe out 90% of humanity, then those left won't be complaining about wood paneling. They'll count themselves lucky to find a fat cockroach to eat.  Yeah I'm ready to see something like that come to this Earth and set these idiots straight. I'd eat cockroaches myself if I could watch it. :)

As in most civilizations, those that can survive, do.
Those that can't tend to die off.
The use of forced confiscation of wealth is being used to stave off the die off part, but it will rise to the surface, just like always.

My grandparents, and parents lived through the Great Depression, then WWII.  They knew the value of a dollar, and real hardship.  It molded them to be pragmatic, practical people who knew how to survive, and what was really important.  Have we as a society moved so far away from practicality that we no longer recognize it?

We are too prosperous and "safe."

Wait, wait...Masculine wood paneling?

Did they just assume the wood paneling's gender?  What if isn't not cis wood paneling and actually genderfluid and prefers xi?  How dare they be so insensitive...

Many on The Left want the 90% kill off as well.  They just want us (not the 10% Left) to be the 90%.

The difference is I only wish it; the Left actively brings it about. Leftists have conducted more mass killings than any other single ideology in the history of man.

Just read an unattributed quote:  "Liberals are like high-maintenance girlfriends.  You're always wrong, and nothing is ever enough."

That certainly nails them.

Boy, tell me about it.  I have put up with both.  I was able to act on one of them though.
