This is a continuation in reference to claims that women are not taken seriously in science classes. I will be focusing on broader topics, including that of the overall student experience in higher education.
I see criticisms in news magazines all the time that declare that students that do distance learning or take courses at a local community college are somehow "missing out" on the essential experiences that traditional on-campus learning provides.
Supposedly, there are the experiences that higher education mongers go on and on about being so great. There are the so-called experiences that college students will fondly remember with warm happy fuzzy memories for the rest of their lives.
There are the unforgettable moments of expanding your horizons that defenders of traditional four-year universities say is so much better than the option of people deciding to lead normal lives while taking courses.
About how teachers in college are sooooo much better, more knowledgeable, much more dedicated, much more invested and caring in their students' success than are high school teachers.
I have been taking classes at a traditional university in addition to classes at community college. I can tell you that the above claims are utter garbage.

I read an article recently in some sort of publication of modern college life. This article was very revealing of the unflinching truth that women face on so-called "traditional" college campuses. There is a very worrying trend -- a lot of male students are accusing feminist school of thought of being absolutely anti-creativity.
Erm, excuse me? Feminism is "anti-creativity"? What, pray tell, are the beautiful, artistic, inspired from the depths of the soul bits of creativity coming out of the mouths of the male students? And what is this alleged feminist "oppression" of which the male college students claim to be self-proclaimed victims?
Guess what. All it is, is that the feminist students would like the male students to come up with something other than sex and violence.
Erm, did the males not take high school English? Sex and violence are not creativity. These are the anti-theses of creativity.
I am guessing feminists are saying this because genuine creativity requires some pondering and contemplation outside of easy knee-jerk stock hoards of sxe and violence. With which I agree.
I suppose it's possible for an authored work to contain elements of that trash and yet still show gleaming signs of genuine creativity. But if one truly does not possess the capability to create a written world without resorting to this unoriginal rubbish, then I would say one's creative faculties are limited.
college campus rapes. alcohol-fueled date rapes. binge drinking. kegger fraternity parties with more sickening, infuriating behavior towards women.
Is this the sort of bullcrap they encourage young middle-class white kids to engage in on college campuses? This sounds disturbingly depressingly like the attitude that the some of these stupid late night talk show hosts... exhibit. That stupid smarmy craig kilborne with his round feminine cheeks. Seriously, there is something unmistakably feminine about that ahole's bone structure. This idiot's attitude smacks of the spoiled middle-class white frat boy that went to college just to get drunk, party all the time. He probably really did only go to college because his parents are paying for all of it and he does not have to pay a penny himself. He is a late-night talk show host and not a very good one, so chances are that he was a C-average student in some crap liberal arts major.
We cannot and should not let these white frat boys get away with the assertion that they are "taught" this at typical college campus in typical mcw culture. to allow that so-called explanation is to let them avoid any responsibility for their own disgusting behavior.
These are the unforgettable memories that students are supposed to cherish for a lifetime??!
Is this the "unforgettable experience" that the media keeps telling people they are missing out on if they choose to go to vocational technical school rather than the typical on-campus enrollment???
Is this what's supposed to be so damn great about the college experience that on-campus dorm life ensconces?
You know what? If this is all that the so-called traditional (har, har) college experience of a bunch of unsupervised, buckwild youths can offer, then I am glad I chose not to go back to traditional college life. I am glad I am attending a two-year technical college that offers an option to transfer several regulation-grade college courses. I am glad I chose not to live on campus any more while I take classes at a university.
