So this be happening soon:
Members
of the Maple League – Acadia, Bishop’s, Mount Allison, and St. Francis
Xavier – believe that higher education should provide a balanced and
comprehensive experience that
challenges our young people and prepares them for responsible, ethical,
and sustainable leadership.
We
also believe that institutions of higher learning have a responsibility
to support students as they become global citizens. The Maple League
schools are united in a shared vision
that promotes social justice and human rights for all members of the
community. We will spend the weekend exploring ways we can enhance these
opportunities at our own universities and share these experiences with
members of the Maple League.
The
weekend promises to be stimulating, thought provoking, and delightful.
In addition to plenary speakers, a student debate tournament, a Business
School CASE Competition, and
a series of receptions, we are hosting TEDxBishopsU, a
multidisciplinary event that will feature speakers drawn from the
talented pool of students, faculty, alumni, community members, and staff
from the four universities. Each talk will focus on ADVOCACY in
higher education – either inside or outside the classroom. What
constitutes an advocate? How do we create support for members of our
community to become effective advocates? How can we create conditions to
foster social justice, advocate for human rights,
or facilitate a sense of global citizenship?
Advocacy
can take many forms. You can be an advocate for a principle or set of
beliefs, for a cause or group, for an ideal or philosophy. It can also
include being an ally or a
champion. Advocacy can include (but is not limited to) championing
human rights, the pursuit of social justice, providing support or
resources for the voiceless or marginalized, etc. We will spend the
weekend exploring:
1. What are the qualities/characteristics that make someone an advocate?
2. What role do universities play in helping install advocacy in its students and faculty
and staff?
3. How can we enhance advocacy in our communities?

Total Marxist Course List for Intro to Political Theory
So I love politics, and I wished to take a political theory course so I signed up for one. I checked out my course list excitedly to see the required materials to read. I was shocked.
These are the required readings:
John Stuart Mill, Burke, Rousseau, and Marx himself. I dropped it faster than lightning. I thought I was going into a class that had a reduction of bias, not a clear delineated leftist Marxist bias! Subjection of women? Please! Women have done what women needed to do as much as men have done what men needed to do for centuries. Yes there was a time where men thought women could not and were not able to be as great as a man, that time has passed, but does that mean we should 'let women have a turn as everything men have been'? No. Why? Because men are not the primary child-carers in this world, it is women, and that is something sacred, as much as it is sacred for many men to provide monetarily for their family and be dominant in strength and influence onto his household. A fair, patriarchal father will raise stoic, clever and destructively pristine daughters and emotionally control his wife so she does not embarrass herself during PMS rampages, and/or kill their newborn because she's frustrated over the top.
Inequality has a bad rep on the left like feminism does on the right. Why? Because inequality is good and natural. People just don't like the sound of it. But everything is inequal and the most powerful thing we can do about it is treat others with respect and integrity. I'm a Christian (although my faith in punishment and God is dwindling recently due to logic prominence) but I am a follower of Jesus, who claimed that all persons were equal in the eyes of God, and if you're secular or an atheist, God can mean the Universe. And it's true. Women are better at certain things than men are. My husband is an egalitarian and when my son was born, he had a difficult time to find him cute and to handle him and feel secure in the way that he would take care of him. He did his best but it did not come naturally, unlike me. My son was born and he was very cute for a newborn, but I found him gorgeous despite his newbornness and I slaved away happily to him, because that's what women have always done. I also don't like physical games as much as my husband, and this, once more, is natural and evolutionary. I comfort better. My husband rough and toughs better.
Do I believe that women CAN do everything a man can? Yes. Do I believe that women should not be oppressed in any circumstance by men? Yes. Do I believe that we should break traditional gender roles and family models in order to liberate the woman sexually and socially from the role of mother and child-carer, home-maker (proved to be the most fulfilling job for women), and role model? NO! That's what make me anti-feminist, but I still hold the majority of the feminist ideologies, not because of feminism, but because of Jesus. Early Christianity had powerful women who ran churches and they spread a message of gender EQUITY, which is what it should be.
Anyway, fuck my University. I'm still going to write that bitching Honours on SJW's though and I'm going to blow my professor out of the park. I won't convert (((him))) to the Alt-Right, but I might temporarily embarrass him for being so biased.

The Social Justice Conclusion
"There is a difference between men raising issues and raising men's issues."
Logically, when it comes down to social justice, the ones who need it more are men. MRA's are where it's at. There are very few shelters for battered men, battered men are shamed by other men, men have a difficult time to express their emotions and it leads to a horrendous suicide count. After having been part of the left and having watched many videos on Identity Politics and now finding ground in Christian Conservatism and the Alt-Right, I have concluded that feminism is not only useless but very dangerous, egalitarianism is the norm, and those we call Men's Rights Activists are the only ones doing actual work. Feminism, such as Femaleism (that cares about having babies and being a wife to a man, or sublimating one's spirit into God) is needed, but I'll get to that in another post.
