Today in Fascism

[Hüsker Dü]

Just perusing a UC school's class catalog where my son is likely going to in the fall. There are 459 classes with "gender" in the description, 364 with "math" in the description, 155 with "climate", 58 with "queer", 41 with "finance", 7 with "white supremacy", 2 with "Trump" and 0 with "Biden".

There is a 10 day Sierra backpack class that looks fun.

If it’s UC Davis 451 or more of those classes with “gender” in the description are of the veterinarian variety.

"Animals do not have genders in the human sense, as gender is a social and cultural construct based on self-identity and societal roles, which requires a level of cognition non-human animals likely lack. Animals possess biological sex (male, female, or hermaphrodite) determined by chromosomes and anatomy."

While UC schools are liberal, their science departments still have one foot in reality.

There are actually 0 vet or ag classes at UC Davis that have gender in their description.

While my son loves animals, he'd rather surf. So no UC Davis for him.

I’m pretty damn sure lions know which way they roll.
