Are they holding her at gunpoint?
An Oxford student union official has apologised for her supposedly trans- exclusionary stance after objecting to the abolition of the women’s officer role.
Ellie Greaves, the vice-president for women at Oxford’s student union, put out a statement after a backlash against her comments in The Times.
The union is replacing its women’s officer with a liberation and equalities representative from next year. The reorganisation of union leadership will keep the same number of roles — one president and five vice-presidents — but female students will lose a dedicated women’s officer. The union said this was because the role was created at a time when women could not get full degrees and colleges were segregated, and that the position prioritised one protected group over others.
And because women are bitches and cunts and Karens and don’t deserve any kind of protection or rights or officer or anything else just for them. Bitches.
Sharon Udott, president of the Oxford Feminist Society, said: “It’s incredibly important to have a women-focused role in 2022. To say that it is redundant in this day and age is an incredibly privileged position to hold. From violence against women to advocating for increased support and funding for women’s health, these issues don’t change when the year does.”
Well she’s going to be on the naughty step.
Students took issue with some of her comments, The Oxford Student website said on Tuesday. She was asked at a student council meeting last week: “What do you have to say to the hundreds of students who were consulted regarding [the role review] . . . who agreed that this would be a good change for inclusivity, equality and the priority of intersectionality?”
What do you have to say to the hundreds of students who think inclusivity, equality, and the priority of intersectionality=women don’t matter? What do you have to say to the hundreds of fucking fools at this university who cannot wait to get rid of every trace of feminism until no one even remembers it was ever a thing?
They must have beaten her up, because she went full grovel.
Greaves issued a statement on Tuesday, saying: “The comments I made in the article contribute to a bio-essentialist, narrow-minded narrative of what being a woman is, including the prioritisation of women over minorities. I cannot apologise enough for the damage and hurt I have caused the trans community.”
Fuck the trans community. What about the hurt they’ve caused women? When is someone going to apologize for that? When is someone going to apologize enough for that?
Oxford Student Union said of changes to the women’s officer position: “The role has not been replaced but augmented to include more underrepresented and marginalised communities who currently do not have sufficient representation.”
What communities? You know – men who say they are women.
We know she doesn’t mean minorities in a broad sense, since I imagine there are also offices devoted to disabled, to immigrants, to racial issues, etc. It’s okay to prioritize one group if that is the role you are part of. If you prioritize that group while other marginalized groups have no representation at all, that would be wrong. In the modern world, in an institution like Oxford, I find it difficult to believe there are no offices dealing with all the other issues – including the LGBTQIAXYZ123 “community”. Probably mostly T and Q, at the expense of L and G (especially L).
What damage? What hurt? Can we have specifics please? Oh, that’s right, I forgot. We are just supposed to chant the mantra…and educate ourselves. Unfortunately for them, I did. I peaked.
Don’t worry yourself; nobody can.
