Last week, feminists at Georgetown melted down over a visit by AEI resident scholar Christina H. Sommers claiming she makes them feel “unsafe” and demanded the talk carry a “trigger warning.”
But don’t think for a second that it’s just Georgetown that’s a problem.
Yesterday Ms. Sommers appeared at the very liberal Oberlin college in Ohio and was met by some of the same nonsense. Check it out:

Spelling is probably anti-feminist, too:
It’s super-inclusive of Oberlin to admit students who don’t know how to spell “participant” @CHSommers pic.twitter.com/w14DToczXZ

This morning, Ms. Sommers tweeted some low-lights from the event:
After Oberlin talk went out for drinks.Some protesting feminists came along.Intense but civil discussion until 1:00 AM. Parted as friends.

Students at Oberlin yelled & jeered throughout my talk.Except for those with mouths taped shut in first three rows. http://t.co/vgw29XoqsM

Oberlin officials were clearly worried about my safety. Provided police escorts into & out of lecture hall. http://t.co/vgw29XoqsM

Early in my talk I suggested it was silly to refer to US as a "patriarchy"–Crowd erupted in indignation–hissing, stomping, booing.Oy vey.

300+ students attended my Oberlin talk.Others retreated to nearby "safe room" for protection from my apparently dangerous ideas.

Oberlin activists had "safe space" for those triggered by my talk.Oberlin admin. provided police security to protect me from safe spacers.

During my talk a kindly philosophy professor stood up & urged students to be civil. He was jeered, mocked & crowd angrily yelled "Sit down."

Told students that women could narrow wage gap by changing majors from, say, sociology to engineering.Room erupted.Horrified gasps & jeers.

In Oberlin talk said that Orwell's Junior Anti-Sex League had occupied campus feminism."What the Hell is that?" shouted someone. Look it up.

Telling students to use Google is probably misogyny, too.
But this type of behavior from Oberlin feminists is nothing new, as Oberlin grad Michelle Malkin reminds us:
Oberlin never changes. Students/faculty yelled & jeered when we brought @DineshDSouza to speak in 1991. https://t.co/emMlOhjMbS

1 of my fave Oberlin memories: Being told by white feminist that my use of the word "exploit" was "hegemonic." https://t.co/wLyi7vXcOS

And we’ll leave it with this. The special snowflakes of Oberlin can rest easy now that the big, bad conservative has left campus and prepare for a speaker that won’t challenge their worldview at all:
Michelle Obama to deliver remarks at Oberlin College commencement. http://t.co/PPEIiHv0tN
