Education wasn't skewed to advantage women in just the UK; this is a global western-world phenomenon that I have witnessed first-hand in the Antipodes (AU & NZ).
Some years ago, I explored the idea of advancing my education and contribution to my profession by doing additional study to be able to undertake a PHD. I was shocked to discover that my “Degree” in Architecture (awarded in the mid-80’s) has now re-classified as a “Masters” and further study towards a “PHD” was primarily by “coursework”. A.K.A. my degree had been “dumbed down”.
In the 80’s, when I got my BArch, to do a “Masters” you needed to be “sponsored” by someone on the academic staff. To do a PHD, you not only had to have your master’s and a Sponsor, but you also needed an original thesis topic that would generate “new knowledge”.
I am so P***ed that my degree (and by extension, all other degrees, masters and doctoral dissertations) has been “dumbed-down” in pursuit of “education” as a business (cha-ching… $$$$) rather than as an intellectual endeavour in pursuit of higher learning and “new knowledge”.
Are we now part of the “2nd Dark Age” of deliberately engineered human ignorance?
The parallels between the “Dark Ages”nd the “Woke Ages” are clear.
Feminism, as it is now practiced, can be deemed to be an “orthodox religion”; the “MeToo” movement pogrom can be paralleled to the Dark Ages “Inquisition” and the Salam “Witch Trials” in the 1690’s.
We need a new non-gendered “Renaissance”, a new non-gendered “Enlightenment” and a new non-gendered “Reformation” (hint; AI’s are not the answer) if we are to survive the toxic divisive feminist /marxists paradigm that currently cripples our communities and society.
In all probability (since the time when the “human” population, in our distant past, collapse to only about 25 individuals +/- (genetics is so fascinating when applied to find the genetic “chock point” in “human evolution”), humanity 𝙄𝙎 entering its most recent “darkest hour”.
Our new “Epoch” is worse than the “𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠 𝘼𝙜𝙚𝙨” and Churchill’s “𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙧” because the ecosystems we rely on are collapsing; the resources we rely on to support our civilisation are being depleted at an exponential rate, the societal resilience that is needed to survive routine calamities has been undermined and 60 years of feminism propaganda has only produced a culture; “be selfish; live only for yourself and only live for today (& F**k future consequences)
Humans pose an “existential threat” to themselves; championed by militant feminists.
Think about it.
