Feminism predates Marxism.
No it doesn't. The suffragettes that feminists like to use as examples of the origins of feminism... did not subscribe to literally anything that feminism stands for. Most suffragettes saw men and women as very different and certainly not interchangeable.
The feminist professors on campus probably barely interact with each other as they mostly are professionals dealing with students, classes and research.
This is an ill informed opinion but there's really no sense in arguing it.
Of course, women's studies professors might be a special case and they might have cultural marxist background, but I am not aware of anybody who takes women's studies seriously.
They set a lot of policy. The Rutgers new policies that basically tell students to call the cops if they witness any "discrimination event" were drafted and put in place by Feminists from the Women's Studies dept. that also happen to be SJWs. There is no clear delineation between Feminists and SJWs. Most feminists are SJWs and most SJWs are feminists.
You see, what we call racism casually is normal discrimination or bigotry. If a child says "I don't like black people because they smell funny" that is racist in the common sense but not in the technical sense. Technically, racism is more systematic. An agreement among insurers not to offer policies to homeowners in black neighborhoods is racist, even if the intention was not to be discriminatory.
You are making up your own standards of language here. You would be better off using language that is agreed upon by almost everyone.
Racism is a subset of bigotry. The traditional definition of bigotry was prejudice based on an inherent characteristic. So yes, smelling funny is an inherent characteristic and not liking someone because of this could be considered bigotry.
By the constrained definition of bigotry that SJWs use... this would only be bigotry if it were said by a white person. So apparently if a "non privileged person" hates black people because they smell bad... it's not bigotry. (Yes it's retarded)
So, I was taught in my sociology class 20 years ago that racism requires power. The professor was very clear about the topic, but as with any nuanced topic, one side misinterpreted it to mean "my professor said black people can't be racist" and the other side misinterpreted it to mean "it's impossible to be racist against white people" both of which are incorrect in the common sense.
Interesting. This wasn't a particularly popular idea 20 years ago. I am an adult student currently at UMass Boston but I'm a STEM major so I certainly wouldn't be exposed to this type of stupidity. However, what I have found in our school which is about 2/5 Asian and about 2/5 White with assorted races being 1/5 ... is that there is no real talk or discussion about social justice issues.
Primarily social justice issues and feminist issues tend to be the strongest in universities that are comprised of rich white kids. This is a fact that I find particularly ironic because the greatest disparity among people is not racial or sex... it is financial class... which they will avoid talking about at all costs, lest they be exposed for the privileged little shits that they are.
