Activism ReportSent my alma mater an email

After I got tired of deleting their pleas for money, I sent this (no idea if it will have an impact, but it felt good to finally complain):

Dear university development,

Whenever I receive an email requesting donations, I scroll to the bottom. If I see a pronoun designation, I immediately delete the email. Why? The belief in a gendered soul that requires everyone to go around stating pronouns is just that, a belief. A state-funded university should not be in the business of promoting any belief system. I would also delete any emails pronouncing that “Jesus saves” or “Allah is great.” You should be in the business of providing educational resources to students, not endorsing fringe beliefs that celebrate narcissism and disproportionately harm women, children, and vulnerable populations. You have only to look at your own house—[omitting here the specific incident but complained about] A man...for whom special exceptions were made not because he has some kind of magical lady soul, but because male privilege is the backbone of this quasi-religion. Until academia drags itself out of the quagmire of post-modern muck it's been wallowing in, you won't be getting a cent from me.

Please remove me from all outreach email lists.

I can’t stand Shane Dawson.

I still cannot believe that that man was allowed to have a child. Holy shit. I mean, I can believe it because he’s a privileged male. But it’s so irresponsible and downright dangerous for a man like that to be a “parent”, I wish it wasn’t true.
