The rise of academentia: Mere transgression being elevated above genuine insight (thecritic.co.uk)

The lack of elaboration on what "queering of children" even means speaks volumes.


There are interesting things to say about this schism but this is just another pearl-clutching polemic and an intellectually dishonest one with all the usual clichés. They aren’t real feminists. They are political and we are not. The queers are coming for your children. They are destroying the foundations of Western liberal intellectual culture. They don’t understand poststructuralism and they don’t know what they are talking about because it doesn’t make sense. They are mean and nasty and privileged and insecure and we are poor and innocent and authentic. And in peak irony, they are the ones cynically seeking to transgress for attention while we are committed to academic integrity and ‘genuine insight’.

Screen name says it all.


I found this piece very insightful and thought-provoking. Thank you so much for sharing it.
