that, “A gender gap in political tolerance, with women being somewhat more willing to censor controversial and potentially harmful ideas, goes back to the earliest survey research on the subject in the 1950s.”Article content
Women are, in short, more woke than men, and the more there are of them in universities, the more woke our culture will become, and the more intellectual rigour will lose ground to feelings, “lived experience,” therapeutics and safetyism.of the American university,” lamenting that, “the traumification of everyday life, like other modern academic trends, is fast spreading outside the campus.
On average, “women are more willing to suppress science for moral reasons, and men are more willing to allow offensive or even potentially harmful ideas to be shared. , support for including moral and harm concerns into the scientific and publishing process is likely to increase, and support for academic freedom is likely to decline.”of gender studies graduates in the U.S., which are essentially activism boot camps in radical gender ideology.
Taken together, studies show that women in higher education are more likely than men to: believe hate speech is a form of violence; endorse shutting down a speaker; defer to Indigenous “ways of knowing” as equal in value to science; approve censure of scientific findings if they conflict with woke doctrine; and claim it should be illegal to say offensive things about certain minorities.
When female activists meet with verbal opposition — as anyone who watches student protests on YouTube can observe — they are far more likely than men to react emotionally, sobbing or screaming, which effectively shuts down any dialogue, let alone the kind of open, sometimes abrasive debate that typifies male-dominated forums .
Corporations and campus leaders should act like leaders and just reject their woke agendas and act like leaders! I know it’s hard to do the right thing. As the marines say “do the right thing no matter who is watching “
National Post and CPC are both misogynist.
Modern women have lost their value. Carry on.
Excellent piece! Factual and well written.
Good old fearmongering from the NP. Any changes that might threaten the elites in our society is a 'crisis.'
men, dont date woke women.
Emotion over logic.
*every man ever* Yep. We know.
Women are the future and skew left because they care about others. They care about truth so your fake Free Speech 💩 does not resonate with intelligent people only hicks from the sticks (almost all white .. why is that ? NeverVoteConservative
Women are truly going to the demise of society.
Sadly, taxpayers write Barb’s pay cheque.
It's a social contagion.
So glad I can’t read this toilet paper.
Substitute American in this for North American.
💯 And it has been going on for a good 50 years.
You guys are worse than the drivel we see in grocery store check out counters
Yep, they're standing on the shoulders of women whose activism is the reason Barb Kay is able to do things like vote & write for a paper...
good
Girls are just not suited to be in places of higher education. They are better off in the kitchen n such.
Woke Stalinism is as grave a threat to our way of life as Trumpist fascism is.
100 percent accurate.
They are lacking a PURPOSE in life and think this is the best place to put their energy. They need to start a family and build a home environment. When they do that, what is really important comes into focus.
How dare women stand up for themselves!
You’re absolutely right Barbara. And it is women who keep the Liberal party in power despite their litany of scandals.
An entire generation of women fought so women could compete on the international stage Only to have the next generation of women to become men's rights activists and give their spots up to biological men
A no brainer conservatively 80+% of the unhinged support in social media promoting this agenda are old obese angry 'white privileged Karens' or their daughters who use 'woke' as just another way to 'feel' powerful & typically their justification for it is supported by 'feelings'
And WOKE woman wonder why they never get laid
Feminism has told women that you don't want a marriage, a family, a home. These women are trying to find a purpose and failing miserably. Men don't want them. Companies don't want to hire them. TPTB, pushing an agenda, will use them then discard them.
Another BS opinion from a US-owned rag. No thanks!
To the detriment of all 🤪
Nothing wrong with woke.
Shocker
Feminism has ruined modern society in the western world
“Wokeism” (the increasing trend that racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other bigotry are not acceptable in society) is a good thing, not a crisis. More people should become woke, it would lead to fewer corrupt lying conservatives being elected.
Longhouse
Some are, and many are not. Same can be said of men.
Probably a misogynistic statement but women seem frustrated that men are losing interest in dating. It’s that so many women are toxic. There is also confusion about where we as men stand. Even women don’t know. Just saying.
Well...yeah
NATIONAL PrePOSTerous, your bigotry, misogyny and U.S. GOP-aligned ownership is showing.
realmonsanto No sh*t Sherlock. 🤯
In what sick mind would people being 'woke' (aware of social injustices) on campus be a 'crisis'?
It’s been going on for years
Orwell was right.
The crisis of wokeism? Is that a crisis? Really? Women speaking out about other women who don't have it so good, that's a crisis? Your point of view is the real crisis!
this isn't journalism.
Crazy Karen’s are the problem. So crazy in fact that they are anti-women.
Unfortunately to their own demise.
Not only that but have voted for the suicide of western civilization.
Feminism destroyed the West
As a man pointing that out for 10 years now I can say prepare, even though you're a woman, to be called a misogynist even though you're right.
Women are mostly followers and they’ve really gotten caught up in this social justice crap
I don't see the value in singling out women, they may make the majority of woke acolytes, but this just gives ammo to those that would like to paint is as mysogynists.
Yes, women are the threat to free speech…because no books or discussions on certain topics have been banned by male governors in the US. Women are a threat to science bc they respect traditions (bc no male grifters have made money off anti-science stances wrt covid or climate)
I hope so.
Barbara Kay is a self-sabbotage magnum opus
barbara kay is fuelling the racism online and in society
A great deal more years behind you than ahead of you in this life and this is how Kay chooses to spend that time left. What a sad, hateful old coot.
🚩🚩🚩National Post = FOX News North🚩🚩🚩
And not to their benefit.
Behind a paywall. Can’t imagine who’s paying for this rag these days.
So you are just straight up attacking women now? Dog whistle to your mgtow crowd ? Dangerous precedent postmedianet
Women are rising up and cons want us back in the kitchen with no right to vote!
Their “agreeability” factor is proving to be “Toxic” for the species
Great piece, Barb - sad but true! BarbaraRKay
'while female students favoured an inclusive, diverse society over free speech' Getting ready for being married to a man.
It’s ALL white liberals that are fuelling wokeism They’re the parasites on society .
Bureaucrats (administration) and teachers benefit from the careless implementation of a narrow set of progressive ideals. You need bureaucrats to integrate, promote and police these types of ideas. Many teachers are happy to teach lists of pronouns, etc. rather than STEM.
What does wokeism and Maoist communism have in common?
Why have women bought into Woke Crazy? There should be a book on this topic.
Ah. We're being honest.
Meanwhile woke trans movement is destroying womens rights.
It’s pathological compassion. Anyone that has a cursory understanding of personality research can see this is obvious. It’s misplaced maternal instinct by childless women gone wrong.
Come on NP, lets not create more division and hate in this country. Just because Trudeau does it, does not mean we should.
Yup
'Woke' is slang for being socially and politically aware, particularly about issues of oppression. It started in African American Vernacular English and is now used more widely.
When they don't have children themselves, they attempt to mother everyone else instead.
More bs from the NP
Thank god I don’t belong to this generation. Who wants to date someone like this? My mother ran a business, a family and was an entrepreneur and never lowered her standards to what these people call “woke”.
Of course it’s true. No one wants to address the elephant in the room, though. The good news is that wokeism will eat itself. It already is.
Are people ready to talk about this yet? White upper middle class liberal women
No fucking shit
hilarious AND true, never knew it was so hard to be a white woman. Lol
certainly not at Austin U ...oh wait.
Thats the problem here in Canada. Gullible, easily manipulated liberal voting women always vote for trudeau who's the Prince if Woke. Liberal voting women will be the death of Canada.
Woke has become a reductive term for the intellectually lazy to hand wave away any topic they don't want discussed. It's a cultural-linguistic form of suppressing ideas - and Kay being a vocal, hateful, bigot uses it with wanton abandon. Shame on postmedia for publishing her.
National post going all trump now is that the strategy now?
We should send Barbara to Afghanistan
Well duh.
That’s who’s taking their kids to drag queen story time…
White liberal women are going to destroy Western civilization.
Is this the same Barbara Kay that denies the residential schools genocide?
If wokeism is the term used because you care about others feelings and don't want to offend them then I'm Woke as well.
White socialist middle class women tend to be the worst type of people in society,
'He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy. ' - George Orwell '1984'
Barbara, since you're against being 'woke', get in the kitchen where you think women belong and make me a sandwich. And stop thinking you're qualified to write anything....you're a woman after all. Stop being woke.
James999_travel Woke cult
Further demonizing women now...great idea...
Imagine giving the slightest shit about the campus opinions of someone who has made it their personal mission to rehabilitate the image of residential schools.
Women... oligarch / wacko much?
I’m so embarrassed
Correction, misguided women. Wokeism is a disease that will choke our country.
Not paying shit to view NP
Lol lets see how many of them will be moving their own couches n vanities when they have to change spaces? I bet it’s gonna be woefully few.
Woke is a gross ideology that assumes anyone opposing them is a hateful bigot. That gives it an air of religious sanctimony & is what separates it from liberalism. Identity reigns, not character. Believers are ferverently convinced that they are correct & any opposition is evil.
A GOP aligned paper, owned by an American Hedge Fund Co, would like us to know caring about the equitable, fair treatment of marginalized groups is a 'crisis' being 'fueled by women'. In their ideal version of the world: Compassion = bad Selfishness = good Women = enemy
By calling wokeness a crisis you are essentially calling calls equality and less bigotry, a bad thing. You truly are the White Nationalist Post. Sad.
And being erased for it.
Dear national post; Why do you print/post this garbage. Do you not have any standards?
Absolutely correct Barbara Kay! And they do it to their own demise.😢
Patriarchy is to Blame...🤣
They have lost the plot and are totally brainwashed
Republicans hate women.
And the white knights that think they have a chance... 😉🤣

Anyone who disputes this is a straight up liar. Its 100% true. Post modern women choose their feelings and desires over objective facts and truth...and won't back down regardless of the consequences.. There is no collective of individuals more selfish and entitled then them.
Women are especially prone to ‘contagion’. Look at fashion trends, women will go through extremes to ‘fit in’, even if it’s gross and unnatural… fake lips, eye lashes, tattooed eyebrows. You want to control a society? Brainwash the women: see lgbt/feminism/climate movements…
And mAlE fEmInIsts
To be fair, there are lots of woke men on campus
Because they care far more about reputation than men
What is the definition of wokeism again?
You all deserve the hell you've created for yourselves.
Barbara Kay can only vote because women were woke enough to fight for the right.
Ah, so we're pretending we've established there's a crisis, so that we can move on to the next phase: who to blame
What’s a woman?
Some women. Most think just like you.
