I read this whine-piece and it had the opposite effect of what the author intended. I read it and thought, "Well, fucking good."

I don't have anything against most Stanford students. (I mean, the startup bros and spoiled legacy kids can choke, but I imagine many if not most of them are normal people.) However, he's describing a college culture that is racist, classist, and misogynist... and I'm happy to see it get crushed. And sure, the crushing is being done by neoliberal authoritarian capitalists, who aren't my favorite people, but if a side effect of this is the next generation hating neoliberal authoritarian capitalists for whitewashing and degrading their college experience, then I'll take it.




It sounds like you took away from it exactly what you came for


> However, he's describing

She.

Perhaps telling that you just assumed the author was a man.
