AppState Privilege Board

[Ibanez]

Appalachian State University students must walk past a “privilege board” denouncing their white, male, able-bodied, Christian, or cisgender privilege any time they enter the Student Union.

The bulletin board is located in Plemmons Student Union (PSU), which the school calls “the centerpiece of the Appalachian campus,” and was apparently put up by a student group last semester, but has been allowed to remain in place to date.

The bulletin board features fliers from the “Check Your Privilege” campaign started by professors at the University of San Francisco, and features memes with phrases such as “Look at all the privileges I haven’t checked.”

What is "cisgender?"

[93henfan]

Racist bullshit. Nice work Appy.

What is "cisgender?"

Just some more genetic defectives we have to pander to apparently.

Actually the opposite - it's people who's gender self identity conforms to their biological sex. That's a privilege, not having to worry about how society judges you because you believe you're a man and you have man parts (or vice versa and are a woman and have woman parts). Your privilege blinds you to the trauma and stress that men who have women parts feel every day.

denoting or relating to a person whose self-identity conforms with the gender that corresponds to their biological sex. So...basically everyone that isn't LGBTQA


Cisgender: a gender identity, or performance in a gender role, that society deems to match the person’s assigned sex at birth. The prefix cis- means "on this side of" or "not across." A term used to call attention to the privilege of people who are not transgender.
Cissexism/Genderism: Is the belief that there are, and should be, only two genders & that one’s gender or most aspects of it, are inevitably tied to assigned sex. In a genderist/cissexist construct, cisgender people are the dominant/agent group and trans*/ gender non-conforming people are the oppressed/target group.

Colleges have gotten worse and worse. In our day it was just political correctness, now it's limiting the speech of people from "privileged" categories. Don't want all that privilege getting in the way of actual dialogue.

From the whacko on my Facebook feed (she's a prof at a state college in PA) there are at least 5 genders, or that's at least what Native Americans, in their estimable wisdom, had acknowledged.

That liberal crap really irritates me. Where are these benefits that I'm supposed to have received from being white?

Privilege: a set of unearned benefits given to people who fit into a specific social group. The concept has roots in WEB DuBois’ work on “psychological wage” and white people’s feelings of superiority over Black people. Peggy McIntosh wrote about privilege as a white woman and developed an inventory of unearned privileges that she experienced in daily life because of her whiteness.

What a load of crap. I'd like to see the unearned benefits i've been given.

Ursula: Some lesbians, particularly butch dykes, also participate in Bear culture referring to themselves with the distinct label Ursula.

WTF?

This. I doubt my alma mater is going rogue on this trend either.

I blame the Millennials. And Bush.

[Pwns]

Why not go all-out and have something about not-a-fatass privilege, hot-chick privilege, "neurotypical" privilege, non-neurotic privilege, non-smoking addiction privilege, non-midget and height privilege, not-socially awkward privilege, and much more?

Oh, that's right, it's about who gets approved oppressed group status from straight white cis heterosexual Christian trust fund baby liberals.

Grizo has tits. So he has no privilege, right?

[andy7171]

I wonder how they enforce this fucking bullshit?

They sprinkle gluten on your kale when you are not looking.

It's probably a group of tree hugging white lesbian retards with family money that did something like this.

Post of the day!

Agreed. Flaggy should take the rest of the day off. Go home, eat some Doritos's, watch the Olympics and just veg out.



Oh wait....

Jim Gaffigan, is that you? Kale is the super fruit for 2015-16.

Full disclosure: I had a kale salad last night.

Fuller disclosure: We ate kale, once a week, growing up. My dad loves bitter greens.

Fullest disclosure: I'm gonna name my next dog Kale. How many children were born and named Kale in the past few years?

Holy shit this is old news. I remember this being quite the hot topic on yosef cabin last year or so.


BTW, if it's at Starbucks... it's not because hipsters like it. It's because suburban soccer mom's like it.
