“the subjugation of women and members of the LGBTQ community, historical and contemporary”
When did things like this become part of higher education? It’s just activism.
The College Fix reports:
Ithaca College ‘intersectional feminist’ class teaches how to ‘resist abortion bans’
“Abortion bans” and “anti-LGBTQ+ legislation” are two of the topics that an Ithaca College course will explore this semester using an “intersectional feminist lens.”
The private college in New York says the course’s questions, including the abolition of prisons, are “increasingly relevant and consequential to our daily lives.”
The political science course focuses on “the subjugation of women and members of the LGBTQ community, historical and contemporary,” according to Homerconnect, the college’s course registration page.
It is inspired by the works of Mary Wollstonecraft and other contributors to “feminist ideology” including the creators of “socialist literature, radical feminism, Black feminist thought, and post-colonial feminism.”
The registration page states further:
Key questions to be discussed throughout are the issues of the sexual division of labor; the acceptance or rejection of the issues of the sexual division of labor; the acceptance or rejection of the connection between sexual and class oppression, and other key historical and contemporary feminist debates.
At least three students have dropped from the course in the past two weeks – there are now 10 students enrolled as of Feb. 5. When The College Fix first looked on Jan. 22 there were thirteen students enrolled out of twenty seats.
Professor Sumru Atuk, who teaches the course, did not respond to multiple requests for information via email through voicemail in the past several weeks. The Fix asked for the course’s syllabus and about the specific pressing issues the course will cover.
According to her website, Professor Atuk “researches femicide/feminicide in Turkey and Mexico” and “institutional dimensions of gender-based violence, feminist theory, modern and contemporary political theory, theories of biopower, and digital political participation,” according to her personal website.

Huh?! How do you “resist” abortion bans?
I can see “How do you work to reduce/eliminate abortion limitations in a state” but how do you “resist”?
Does it involve hangers? Or just being an a**hole with a sign?
I told my broker to go long on MBHangers.
Are retroactive abortions available for her benefit?
