News Flash: Men and Women ARE Different

Last semester, I had the horrible idea of taking a sociology class. I didn’t know it at the time, but sociology is typically the most left-wing department on most college campuses, and my school—the University of Missouri —is no exception.

Throughout the class I was miserable, but in order to maintain a good grade I attended extra-credit events assigned by the professor. As painful as it was to sit through this liberal indoctrination, many of the outings enlightened me to the
latest tactic the radical Left is using to achieve “equality” on college campuses: eliminating gender.

The latest, and arguably most outrageous, plot by the Left is to eliminate people’s need to identify themselves as either male or female. My professor explained to the class that gender was at one time biologically relevant, but is becoming less important. His goal was to convince us that biology is less important than societal influences. My professor claimed that by accepting our gender, we were accepting societal influence. This, he claimed, is responsible for forcing people to fall into gender roles such as motherhood and other types of “oppression.”
