Shit's not even an exaggeration.

The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction talks a bit about a fellow who had a Rhodes Scholarship and said reading books was a waste of his time.

>ITT JELLY

to me it seems that our generation fixates more on the degree than the knowledge accumulated to get the degree. that's what society values, so that's what people fixate on. the implication is that if you have a degree in x you don't need to justify it or talk about it, because you have the degree, so people assume people will think that you're knowledgeable about the subject because you have the degree.

I've taken a feminist theory class. Every girl there was perfectly reasonable and respectful.

There's a huge difference between tumblr feminists who just regurgitate every piece of shit they read with little to no understanding, and irl feminists who actually...ya know...read philosophy and shit.

>>4710097

It's true. A lot of the bitching you hear about feminists comes from butthurt anons cherry-picking the worst of the worst of tumblr and other sites that serve as platforms for any asshole to act like they know shit.

>>4710103

It would be like if my entire understanding of the right wing/conservative politics was through browsing /pol/.

>>4710118

Thankfully I've never met one IRL, and I prefer to keep it that way. Or if I have, they kept quiet.

>>4710129

Pretty much, yeah. Or left-wing politics, for that matter, last I checked there was a weirdly large amount of Bolsheviks over there that would occasionally pop out of the woodwork.

>>4710114

University of Michigan

Yes, they're pretty terrible. The only person in my grade who went to an Ivy League school was a fat autistic bitch who didn't even know who James Joyce was in the 11th grade. My good friend who was a genius German kid who knew 3 languages and had an American college senior level understanding of chemistry couldn't even get into Rice. Luckily I got into a good lib arts school, but still...

Also, just some reasons why American higher education is garbage at the moment:

STEM has completely dominated universities and Humanities Departments are run by complete fools who require nothing of their students.

Online Courses

Teacher's assistants

Affirmative Action

I could go on, but I'm too tired.

Not even an "MRA" but I can kind of sympathize with their stance on divorce after watching it ruin my dad. The idea that judges can now throw out prenuptials and award large sums of alimony and child support isn't right.

most unbelievable story I've ever seen on 4chan, don't try again

>>4710191

But this cut both ways. Giving favor to women in divorce settlements (let's say specifically when it comes to child custody)assumes that women are naturally more fit to be parents.

Just about every MRA probelm is a problem for women as well.

>>4710182
that fucking youtube video, holy shit.

>>4710215
>mfw people hear this idiocy and think it makes sense

>>4710215

That's absurd. How is that a ''problem'' for women if the effect of it is that they receive a strong positive bias in family courts, among other areas?

>>4710223

Okay

>>4710229

Reinforces stereotypes that places the majority of the burden of raising a child on the mother.

Men are assumed to be unfit for parenting and women are assumed to be fir only for (or primarily for) parenting. Either way, it's a problem..

>>4710239
Yeah so shut up you male shitlords. These poor women are just ASSUMED to want your money and ASSUMED they are heartless shrews who don't ever want you to see your kids no matter what they say!

>>4710234
Is that your group of fat dykes and men who've been laid four times ever who agree with you and your retarded views? I like the fedora.

>>4710239

>Reinforces stereotypes that places the majority of the burden of raising a child on the mother.

How does it 'place' the burden on them? If they don't want to raise a child, why are they a mother in the first place? Nobody is forcing children on women, but family courts are absolutely tearing children away from men.

CHAPTER 1: SOLID MOON RISING
Solid Snaek jumped off the bridge onto the tankered and called Otakon. “Solid Snake have you reached the tanker yet” Otakon said has he ajusted his glasses and watched anime. “Yeah I’m on the tanker now nobody saw me” said Snake. “Remember Snake you missed the tanker in New York and now you have to catch it while it’s in the sea of Japan at Yokohama Bridge.” “Yeah I know” said Snake. “Now hwat do I do” said Snake. “You haeve to snake around the tanker to find the metal gear” said Otakon and Snake said “Okay but why is there a metal gear” and otakon said “They are rogue bushists taking advantage of our alliance with Japan” and snake said “how dare they”. And snake jumped off the rail and did a triple backflip while crossing his arms and pulling out guns and he fired and killed a guard. “ I Hope there arew no bee people like there was in Vietnam“ thought snake. “I checked there are no bee people” said Otakon and Snake saoid “I must have t been thining out loud again” and Snake and Otokon laughed a lot before Otakon said “okay now you have to focus on the mission” and Snake said “Okay”. Snake saw two guards one was standing near the other and near a gas canister and there was a helicopter near them and snake thought “nice and hind-d” and he shot the gas barrel making it explaod killing one guard and making the other guard catch fireand go up at the heelicopter and hit the blades and get cut up into 100 pieces and go all over the bridge windshield making the captain panic and the helicopter got jammed from the body and it crashed into the boat made a fire and and there was panic and snake thought “nice a distraction” and otakon saoid “snake what are you doing this is a sneaking mission” and Sanke “in the battlefield sometimes you need distraction of loud so you can be more quiet.” And he snuck into the part of the boat that was not fire.

CHAPTER 2: MOON ALERT
Snake was sneaking around in the box inside the ship and he was careful not to make it catch on to fire. Meanwhile Serena and Darien were having sex in their car in the drive-in. she said “I never came before now” and Darien said “thanks” and they hugged. Deronn said “Wait what if you are pregnant” and Serena said “don’t worry about it I’m not underaged since we’re Japanese” and they laughed and did it again. Meanwhile Otakon said “Solid Sneak have you found the Metal Gear yet” and a Seake said “No” and Otakoin said “okay keep looking”. Meanwhile the ship was on fire and the harbor police were panicking because they didn’t have enough water to put it out. “If only sailor moon were here “ the Harbor Patrol Colonel said as he tried to help the soldiers put out the fire. Meanwhile Snake was on the boat and his box caught fire. “AAAA” he said as he got out of it. And he walked further and a guard was there who heard him. “Otakon there is a guard there what do I doo” said snake and Otakin said “Snake you have to keep from killing him or else we’ll be terrorists” so he used the tranqwiliezer gun and went on forward to the place in the ship where the metal gear was that he didn’t know but guessed. Snake tied his banana and said “lets do this.” Meanwhile in the park in the middle of Toykyo the sailors couts were fighting a monster headed by Zoisite who said “HAHA YOU CAN’T PENETRATE THIS DUEL ARMOR NOW” and she backflipped forwards onto the ground while throwing an ice at the sailors couts and Jupiter said “we have to evage.” And they did. And Mars said “I could have melted the ice and saved us” and they laughed and started fighting again. Tuxedo Mask came and threw flouwer and Zoidite bleed. “Tuxedo Mask where is Sailor Moon” Mercury said and he said back “She sensed her friends in danger with her Sailor sense and sent me here while she was on her way” he said as he road in on a grey horse and then he jumped off the horse’s back. He stood up and said “I AM TUXEDO MAKS” and ran at Zoiyatec.
