A few reasons, this has been going on for 30-40 so it's not like it just bloomed. Secondly, when a professor gets a grant the majority of it goes to the school and no one churns out "studies" as much as liberal arts colleges, so their insanity is often encouraged.
Sadly it has started to spread, even in Eastern Europe. In Romania the political majority actually voted a law that prevents identity politics being studied in the academic circles.
The problem is that this majority is corrupt to the core and the only party that voted against the law (they are up and coming, with no corrupt politicians in their ranks, they seem progressive), the ones I voted for in the previous elections.
Now with their vote I don't know what to do anymore. The logical thing is to vote for them again, but their stance on gender studies and identity politics really let me down.
That was also said in my country. Universities are trying to open these new topics to be studied so they can ask for more money from the government.

interesting

It's almost as if the academic success of a country is inversely proportional to the percentage of certain demographics within respective country
These countries aren't contaminated by all the stupid pedagogues who broke school systems with their teaching method + immigration which lowered the general school level.

There has to be distinction between types of educational disciplines that those systems are constructed upon

Otherwise the risk of conflation is overrun

Except tennis imo. Genuinely very good watch. But most other sports so boring compared to male counterpart.
When I was young I liked Martina Higgins and Marat Safin, but growing up I gave up a bit. The Williams disgusted me with winning everything, and , for men's I don't like Nadal and Federer is great champion but bland.
I still like to play tennis but watching it I find it quite boring. During Rolland Garros, every time i watch a game i fall asleep. 3-3 in the 1st set in 1 hour, it's too slow and too repetitive for human being.

I rarely watch anymore, but the occasional slam every couple years. Too long and boring is right. Early mid 2000s to 2010 was the best period.



But objectively speaking, skill and technique based sport, and as said only sport where the female one is almost as good viewing as the males. Even if the males are way better ofcourse.


Martina Hingis was joy to watch. Weird sport where you can begin at 14 and burn out so quick.

All female Grand Slam winners in their prime won't take a single set from any player on ATP ranking, that's how disgusting the skill difference in tennis is. Worst part: it's not only power but also basic technique. I like their short skirts though.

Not close in skill at all (Serena at her peak badly lost to like 200 ranked dude), but still almost as good consistent entertaining viewing as sport still. Literally only female sport I could say that of. Every grand slam back then you could change between the male final to the female one, where both could be fun competitions.



While for example when it comes to female basketball or football, I laugh at just seeing how far away they are, can't watch it (except Marta, she is a baller).

I thought you would be Amelie Mauresmo kinda guy. She was hella butch, looked like she strap on raped little emo hipsters like you for breakfast:D
Justine and her elegant style was somewhat the the female version of Roger for me.

If it comes to looks, Sharapova of course. That hot cut-throat bitch look.
