Things have been busy for me, but I wrote the intro to my quick upcoming series on the University of British Columbia’s “Social Justice Institute,” a few days ago. I won’t be getting into all of them, but their biographies were interesting, to say the least.
Since 1995, Dr. Becki Ross has held a joint appointment in the Institute of Gender, Race, Sexuality, and Social Justice and the Department of Sociology. She teaches and researches in the areas of the history of sexuality, ‘the family’, gender relations, qualitative methods, anti-racist studies, critical sport studies, and queer culture. Becki is the recipient of two teaching awards (2005 & 2008). She has supervised/co-supervised graduate students on diverse topics: the history of sexual education in BC, representations of gender and ‘race’ in video games and mainstream advertising, queer spaces on Canadian university campuses, contemporary butch/femme relations, bi-racial South Asian women’s heterosexuality, inter-racial white/Asian gay male relationships, and queer courtship & marriage in Vancouver. Dr. Ross’s publications appear the Journal of Historical Sociology, Sexualities, Journal of Women’s History, Labour/le travail, Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology, and the Journal of the History of Sexuality. With Sharon Lebenkoff she completed a 35-page chapter (online) for McGraw Hill Ryerson on themes of dating, marriage, cohabitation, and same-sex relations. With Oralia Gomez-Ramirez, Dr. Ross contributed an article on the state regulation of recruiters in the adult entertainment industry (exotic dancing, specifically) for a special issue on “Burlesque” by the Canadian Theatre Review. Becki is completing a manuscript titled, Expelled: The Neo-Colonial Rule of Unruly Sexual Subjects in Vancouver, 1975-1985. On the administrative front, Dr. Ross was the co-chair of Critical Studies in Sexuality (2004-2007). From 2009-2012 she served as the Chair of the (then) undergraduate program in Women’s and Gender Studies. In 2012-2013, Dr. Ross was a consultant on the exhibit, “Sex Talk in the City: the classroom, the bedroom, the street” for the Museum of Vancouver (MOV). She coordinated the first ‘all sex worker’ panel at the MOV in April 2013, and co-led, with Jamie Lee Hamilton, “Strolling the Stroll,” a commemorative tour of 10 landmarks along what was once the Davie Street stroll in Vancouver’s West End.
Becki didn’t see fit to include any paragraph breaks. Yes, that’s right. The people who pretend to be intellectuals actually write worse than the average channer. I’ve never understood the mindset of writing so much, and with mostly proper grammar, and then not hitting the goddamn enter key even one time. And no, I’m not making this up, here’s a screenshot.
However, that’s idiotic, so I’m going to reprint her bio with a bunch of paragraph breaks, because I’m not a retard like this pseudo-intellectual.

Why is ‘the family’ put in quotation marks? Does the retard who thinks the enter key is the high point of cisheteronormative straight White Male patriarchy also believe that family is a social construct or something?
Well there’s a lot to get through, so we can’t get bogged down with every little manifestation of Becki’s psychosis.

Wait a minute, “bi-racial South Asian women’s heterosexuality.”
I’m almost too confused to express how confused I am. What is a “bi-racial,” South Asian women anyway? Why are we studying their “heterosexuality.” What are the burning questions that we’re trying to find answers to?
She’s also into “butch/femme relations.” I guess this when the lipstick lesbians interact with the short haired weirdo crowd. That might actually be worth studying, if only for the laughs.
She’s also taken a particular interest in interracial gay relations, while making sure not to capitalize the W in White People of course. She also puts ‘race’ in quotations, probably indicating that she pretends race isn’t real or something.
She’s big on shitting up the gaming industry by studying how genderqueers of blackness are underrepresented or something. Boy, am I ever confused as to why GamerGate happened.

The rest of Becki’s bio is just a list of the accolades that other antifa types have given her. Contrary to these people’s delusions of grandeur, no one actually cares about their “studies.” We care that they’re parasites who have highly lucrative sinecures. We also care if their pseudo-intellectualism is used to justify bullshit legal precedence. But really, no one is reading Becki’s papers on “bi-racial South Asian women’s heterosexuality.”
That’s it for Becki. Next time we meet the “Filipinx,” who “plays video games erotically so as to better understand post-colonial global empire, and also as Asiatic commodities.” No really, that’s a quote.
It’ll be fun.
Ross studies this stuff for what purpose? To advise on making better pornos?
These “academics” remind me of Monty Python’s sketch, “Anne Elk’s Theory on Brontosauruses.”
“The sketch features a television presenter (Graham Chapman) interviewing paleontologist Anne Elk (John Cleese in drag). The plot of the sketch is that Miss Elk (who is very concerned about being properly credited: “A. Elk, brackets, Miss, brackets”) has severe difficulty presenting her new theory about brontosauruses due to her bizarre mannerisms, which include circumlocution, repetition, and obnoxious, noisy throat-clearing. When she is finally able to state her theory, it turns out to be a very trite observation that “All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much, much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end.””
According to wikki, “The sketch inspired the concept of “Elk theories” to describe scientific observations that are not theories but merely minimal accounts.”
Becki Ross = Anne Elk.
These morons/perverts need to be mocked, hassled, gaslit, humiliated, and run out of town.
The increase in the number of women attending college (at some schools they now outnumber men almost 60:40) has been a disaster — the vast majority of them end up majoring in soft liberal arts subjects, including crap like this — then they flood into education/academia and the media and corrupt those institutions — not only that, since women generally marry ‘up’, meaning a man who is more intelligent and has higher SES than they do, this means fewer acceptable marriage partners for these women and lower marriage rates and birthrates.
