Yes. I'm a white educated woman and even I can see white educated women are a problem. To be fair to these younger-than-me women, the indoctrination escalated since I was in school. Poor kids are told what to think, and don't know their teachers are biased. Not taught to think critically, they can't evaluate the water in which they swim. Taught to be toxic, they are themselves unwittingly poisoned.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Men bully physically. Women bullying verbally. The peer pressure to conform for college educated women is brutal.

You must be strong or live in a southern or rural community.

God Bless you.

“Not taught to think critically . . . (instead) Taught to be toxic.” How true! While parents do send their kids to public schools to be taught to think critically as part of their education the schooling industry has contrived to do the opposite. Critical pedagogy is what now applies. Googling the question, what is the difference between critical thinking and critical pedagogy brings forward the AI Overview: “While both involve questioning and analysis critical thinking focuses on developing skills to evaluate information and draw sound conclusions, whereas critical pedagogy emphasizes using education to challenge power structures and promote social justice.” So, you see, parents (and public) are hoodwinked completely when one objective is cleverly switched to another using the same word — critical!
