“Now you ask a group of young women on the college campus, 'How many of you are feminists?' Very few will raise their hands because young women don't want to be associated with it anymore because they know it means male-bashing, it means being a victim, and it means being bitter and angry.” KnowsWantMeanHandsYoungAsksGroupsCollegeRaisesVictimAngryMalesFeministBitterYoung WomenCampusCollege Campus Author:Christina Hoff Sommers
“My one challenge with the support group that I'd become involved with on campus is that the people seem to spend as much time talking about their ill-begotten pasts as their promising futures. It's as if people are drawn to looking back. They can't move on until it all makes sense. Humbly submitted: It never does.” PeopleIfsDoeSeemsPastMovingChallengesTalkingSupportGroupsInvolvedIllMake SenseLooking BackCampusSupport Groups Book:Following Christopher Creed Source: Following Christopher Creed
“Because my graduate academic training at law school was not one that included most of the intellectual traditions I find useful for understanding the conditions and problems that most concern me - anti-colonial theories, Foucault, critical disability studies, prison studies and the like are rarely seen in standard US Law School curricula, where students are still fighting on many campuses to get a single class on race or poverty offered - I developed most of my thinking about these topics through activist reading groups and collaborative writing projects with other activist scholars.” ThinkingWritingStillsProblemSchoolLawFightingReadingUnderstandingRaceClassPovertyStudyGroupsConditionsStudentsTheoryProjectsIntellectualTrainingStandardsConcernTraditionPrisonCriticalActivistDisabilityGraduatesAcademicScholarTopicsCampusLaw SchoolFighting On Author:Dean Spade

“It was a very easy way to have a group of friends on a very large campus - a sense of identity. It was a great place to learn how to navigate a variety of personalities, which you kind of have to do in life. You've got the shy woman and you've got the obnoxious woman and you've got the brainiac and you've got the social climber and you've got the introvert and the extrovert, and you're all living together. I think it gave me valuable experience in learning how to live with people that are different than you are. And that's an important lesson. You can bet it comes in very handy in the Senate.” PeopleThinkingWayKindImportantDifferentTogetherSocialEasyGroupsIdentityPersonalityLessonsValuableVarietyShySenateIntrovertCampusNavigateObnoxiousHandyEasy WayLiving TogetherClimbersImportant LessonsExtrovertsGroup Of Friends Author:Claire McCaskill
