Or they brought in a procedure for complaining that the person in charge is a dick.

I've read most of this cursed thread and the mods need to put their house in order and kick out the fucking bigots.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
I don't comment on this thread as I don't feel I have the knowledge, experience or understanding to be able to make any positive contribution. I have however reported this obviously malicious new account and post.

Excellent piece on why it is right, occasionally, for a union not to oppose a dismissal (not that Stock was a member of the union any more).

When is it right for a union to support dismissal?
The 'academic freedom' defence is a farce.

Do you know anything about RS21? I've never heard of them.

do you mean in the Grace Lavery piece? Thats the only one I can see makes any such reference. But what else would you call a demand for the 'elimination of the practise of transgenderism'?

I can't do this today and shouldn't have said anything.
People who think its great that she's not working at sussex uni anymore should celebrate the victory but hurry up cos according to that same piece the vice chancellor of the university needs to lose his job too. "I realize that Tickell’s en route to a new position as VC of Birmingham University. He should lose that job too. "..

what should he have done in your opinion?
Agreed that her working there was a danger to the safety of students and sacked her?
Its a bit of a weird one this in my head cos 100 years ago i went to that same university, and my department was run by a bunch of short haired hardcore materialist feminists, they are probably all gone now by natural causes but i don't think they'd be "on the right side of history" now.

In principle, the practice could be eliminated without killing any people, by eliminaing gender (once a fairly uncontroversial aim amongst feminists). Your position is like saying those who want to end the practice of animal farming want to murder all meat eaters. This isn't to say I think that elimination is a particularly good aim, or that I don't think it's often wrapped up with some pretty unpleasant stuff*, but to call it genocide is ridiculous hyperbole. (*And the stuff on Lily Cade's blog was vile bigotry, that deserves to unequivocally condemned.)

I don't think it's particularly useful, but if people were calling for the elimination of a particular religion, or the practice of homosexuality from society, it might focus a few minds about what that actually looks like (and you could do both of those, in theory, without killing anyone, not directly anyway).

I guess an elimination of racism or sexism would count as genocide as well then.

By sexual misconduct they mean multiple offences which would be treated as rape in most jurisdictions.

Not in this one - it requires a penis.

can you imagine the response of Jeremy Corbyn had said he wanted to end the practise of Judaism? I doubt the usual apologists here would be defending his comments in the same way.

And the sort of bigot who calls for violence and then resorts to a pathetic defence.oops
