Blind To Reality

Excellent article in The Spectator – Australia about the lack of vision at one of the finest Western Universities, Cambridge. What was once a bastion of feminist activism. Is no longer. Why the feminist falling out?

Because Gender Critical Feminists believe that sex is real and binary. And some Cambridge faculty and students regard those out-dated ideas as beyond the pale for civilized discourse.

At one of this country’s most prestigious universities, women who hold perfectly reasonable views are terrorised into silence. Gender-critical students and academics are ostracised. A university that prides itself on academic rigour is letting down its students.

Dozens of blue and gold banners now hang from the ceiling of Newnham’s dining hall, commissioned by the college in celebration of its 150th year. In richly-embroidered slogans they exhort the importance of ‘privileging queerness’, ‘experimenting with gender’ and ‘trans liberation’; they reassure students we can ‘be who we say we are’. Among these, one sobering message stands out: ‘Appreciate reality.’ I had lunch at the college recently with a fellow PhD student whose research also relates to gender, when my opinion became clear. She paused, looking bemused, and asked: ‘So, you think there are only two sexes?’.
