Students Hold "SlutWalk" at OSU, Call for End of "Patriarcy, Cissexism, Heterosexism"
Pundit Press ^ | 5/27/15 | Aurelius

Students at Oregon State University held a "SlutWalk" yesterday, calling for the end of the patriarchy, cissexism, and heterosexism. The rally began at the steps of Memorial Union, which is the student activity center at OSU.

Fliers were posted around campus, trying to rally other students to the cause:

Among other things that "SlutWalk" hopes to accomplish is the re-definition of the word "slut." They also hope to end "the patriarcy," "cissexism," "heterosexism," and "ableism:"

I've looked up the definition of cissexism several times and still don't get it. Its post-modern leftist slogan soup.

That's okay. One of our employees sent out a flyer for "LBGTIQ Pride Day" last week and I had to ask him what the heck the "IQ" meant. I wish I hadn't asked.

“This is the second time in two days I’ve seen the word “ableism”. What the heck is that?”

What a dyslexic dyke who can’t spell sees when she reads the word “lesbian”

Being "cis-gender" means that your perceived gender and the biological sex you were born with are the same. I.e., you are what we used to call "normal".

Cissexism is the unacceptable belief that being normal is a good thing.

-So, now liberals are calling for an end to heterosexuality?

I guess the old joke about getting out of the service before they made sodomy mandatory is coming to pass on college campuses?

“Ableism” has to mean that it is so unfair that people with ability succeed above the morons who participate in these events. Idiots should be as well compensated as the more capable, educated and talented.

Here’s what Wiki says:

“Cissexism (or cissexual assumption) is the appeal to norms that enforce the gender binary and gender essentialism, resulting in the oppression of gender variant, non-binary, and trans identities.”

I was curious about the etymology; and Wiki also had this:

“Cisgender has its origin in the Latin-derived prefix cis-, meaning “on this side of”, which is an antonym for the Latin-derived prefix trans-, meaning “across from” or “on the other side of”. This usage can be seen in the cis–trans distinction in chemistry, the cis–trans or complementation test in genetics, in Ciscaucasia (from the Russian perspective) and in the ancient Roman term Cisalpine Gaul (i.e., “Gaul on this side of the Alps”). In the case of gender, cis- is used to refer to the alignment of gender identity with assigned sex.”

[ I wonder how one engages in the act of “slut-shaming”? I don’t reckon these girls have much shame. ]

I thought real “Slut Shaming” was a guy calling a women who won’t have sex with him at the drop of a hat a “slut”.

(which is just plain insane and a sign of mental dysfunction)

But the left seems to have taken that term and used it to complain about people who call honest to goodness streetwalkers, prostitutes and other “sex-workers” sluts as if calling Thing A another similar word for Thing A is a bad thing.

(which is also just plain insane and a sign of mental dysfunction)

To top that off I have watched more holly-weird films and tv shows recently where they treat someone who is a virgin like they have some sorta weird incurable disease or if they are from the planet mars.

(which is just yet another sign of insanity and a sign of mental dysfunction)

I demand transracial identities be recognized too!

If I feel like I truly am black, that’s all that should matter!

Anyone else is a racist, bigoted hatemonger that belongs in jail!

Looking at the map, I see that public streets pass through the campus, including right past the Memorial Union building.

I wonder what the reaction would be if a hundred bikers came riding by to watch the demonstrators, and give comments?

It seems Shakespeare dealt with cissexism 400 years ago in Macbeth

you should be women, And yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so.

I believe that leftists pull “causes” out of their asses, making it up as they go along.

Michael Jackson felt like he was a white girl. I guess he had a number of cisims covered....
