Samantha Fulnecky’s Bible-filled essay earned her a failing grade. After whining to Republican leaders, the University of Oklahoma is caving to her demands.
But then, she would have to be a bullsh... Missionary in one of those yucky countries that is not the US. She now can claim persecution without having a broken nail or split hair.
The best university in the state With the worst education outcomes nationally ( which is saying a lot with WVA & MS). Oklahoma is a state this nation should lose. They bring almost nothing positive to 🇺🇸
non native American people are slowly moving out of OK. pretty soon it will be owned completely by Native Americans, as it should be. it may be a hard transition. decades of racist home loan policies, redlining, and even terrorist attacks on black and native people have concentrated a lot of wealth into the people who are moving away. hopefully they can get that sorted out.
Conservative Christians are very quick to play the victim any time they are rebuffed in their attempts to force their beliefs on others. This girl is not a victim but in her mind and the minds of like minded evangelicals. The evangelicals are also the people most likely to persecute others if given the chance. If you want to see what genuine persecution looks like, hand power to the preachers.
I don't doubt that what they advocate can lead to great harm through third parties, but they do not have the power to simply order the death of anyone.
My thoughts exactly. I also think Samantha is the kind of person who cries religious discrimination when stores don’t have their Christmas decorations up soon enough or clerks wish her “happy holidays.”
Let's just say that there's a lot of overlap among fundamentalists, evangelicals, christofascists & Christian nationalists -- all very much on the far right.
Thanks for explaining to someone who's a reformed RC (ie ditched it as a teenager). Just curious about the use of language and the differentiation of religions. Hubby and I were trying to put 'religions' into categories. A bit of an odd conversation some might say. Started to wonder whether evangelicals & pentecostalists should be sub-categories of Protestantism or a break away group? Then started thinking about how "fundamentalist" is attached to Muslims but doesn't seem to appear near Christians. Selective language by media demonising the "Other".
They used to commonly attach "fundamentalists" to the most conservative, orthodox Christians, but for some reason, it has become rather rare in recent years. Not sure why, but you may have something there in the popular association of fundamentalism to Muslims.
Does that make them Schrodinger's Victims? They are simultaneously true victims of a system meant to strip them of thought and humanity that makes them false victims of anything that challenges the system that controls and suppresses them.
So the instructions were: “The best reaction papers illustrate that students have read the assigned materials and engaged in critical thinking about some aspect of the article.”
Well there’s the problem….you can’t expect deeply religious people to use “critical thinking” skills!!! If they had those, they wouldn’t be deeply religious, because ALL of that nonsense falls apart with even the lightest critical thinking!
Ah. I see what happened here. A wingnut grifter-in-training noticed that there was a trans person co-instructing a course and saw a golden opportunity to jump on that sweet, sweet Wingnut Welfare gravy train. All she had to do was puke up some irrelevant but churchy-sounding wordvomit- which, let's be honest, any one of us atheists could probably write in our sleep at this point, having seen so much of it- and fire up the 'ol Whaaaaaaaambulance. She probably had all of her appeals and complaints locked and loaded before she even turned in the assignment. Might've even been hoping for an opportunity from the moment she saw the title of the course.
Because that's how this always goes, isn't it? Mediocre nobody with a head full of conservative bunk, otherwise doomed to a lifetime of obscurity because they have no original ideas and no redeeming personal qualities, takes the first available offramp from whatever they were doing before, high on the promise of martyrbating in the national spotlight. Depending on how successful she is, she likely won't even need to finish her degree, let alone get a job in that field. The speaking fees and grifter-gofundmes she'll be able to rake in will see to all her needs.
Naturally, Republicans took the bait hook, line, and sinker. They see dollar signs in their eyes, too. For however brief a moment Miss Fulnecky's star shines with its stolen fire, their names will be in the news alongside hers, and that means more mugging for cameras, more donors writing checks, more more 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦.
We've seen this show before; we'll see this show again- for the masses are gullible, the media is cynical, and the only people who stand to be hurt are, as far as society at large seems to care, oh so very 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦.
She did not cite the bible at all. Nor did she provide references to people who would support her personal interpretation of a 2,500 year-old story that the Jewish writer cribbed and changed from Mesopotamia. Nor did she quote or cite scholars or scholarly works to support why anyone would care what an Iron Age writer retelling and adapting the creation myth of other earlier cultures would be reliable or even worthwhile to pay attention to their opinions of gender rolls. And she didn't even quote any scholars or teachers from the people the myth was originally written to.
So, no, her essay was not Bible-based. It was parroting words she has been indoctrinated with from infancy. Nothing more. Maybe I'd throw her a point for being a good parrot, but I would fail this essay if she had written it for a Bible class, let alone a Science class.
The writing is grade-school at best and certainly not something any college professor should accept.
I was thinking about this too. There’s so many scholarly resources in theology/religion that she could’ve used to substantiate any of these claims to make the paper an academic piece.
Definitely being lazy. I am surprised there was not an option to fix the paper and turn it in again for more credit. But then I guess there wouldnt be the story here if that was the case.
That's likely a factor. She looks like the pampered princess who has always gotten her way, although there's the possibility that she attended a high school that taught her that spewing Jesus crap was the answer to every question (it is Oklahoma, after all), and she's too brainwashed to understand a single thing the instructors were trying to tell her. All she heard was "failed essay" not the reasons for the failure, and she's probably been taught to expect such "persecution" for her beliefs.
Here's a dispatch from reality: You are NOT being persecuted. You live in a country where your religion is by far the dominant one.
REAL persecution of Christians happens in OTHER countries. Countries you and your fellow believers on these shores refuse to go anywhere near because you won't travel there to stand with your brethren.
You don't want to truly be persecuted. You bleat endlessly when you are even inconvenienced. Stop playing the victim. You're horrible at it.
Oklahoma! Where the wind comes whistling through the brains!
Good Grief! This woman reminds me of that infamous video of Miss South Carolina trying to answer why Americans can't locate their own country on a map.
She didn't come close to completing the assignment, and her grade reflected that failure. I'm sick of whingeing christians crying about 'religious persecution' every time they're held to the same standards as everyone else and come up short. Interesting, though, she blithely calls fellow students 'demonic' then gets offended at being told that's offensive.
What's funny is my MIL once said the biggest problem in the world is that people are too sensitive and pc nowadays that they don't talk about hard problems or are afraid to argue anymore. You can obviously guess what religion she is.
When I responded if she really thought people being pc was a bigger problem than genocide, inequality, or preventable deaths, she didn't say anything but just got super quiet. She is always the first one to get super quiet when she is wrong or doesn't know what she is talking about.
In fact, I've realized that when most religious people talk about persecution, or people being afraid to have hard conversations, what they really mean is that they can't say whatever they want without people saying something back. It goes back to social hierarchy and getting special treatment. They want special treatment.
It's so much easier to believe you're being singled out for mistreatment than to accept that your dumbass couldn't complete an assignment and you failed. IF she was any kind of christian in the Jesus sense, she would be ashamed of ruining the reputations and livelihoods of innocent people. But...we all know......
So ... Samantha, tasked with writing an essay on the complexities of the concept of gender, goes all reductionist and uses her bible as justification. Worse, when she's called on it by her instructor, the instructor gets dunned for doing their job.
This is a quickie comment, 'cuz I gots to get going and get my toofies cleaned, but the problem with Samantha's work and the reaction to it are entirely too obvious. 😝
As the daughter of a long time college professor ( yearly teaching English 101= writing essays,etc...) and a university graduate myself, I'd like to agree .This essay clearly shows NO understanding of the assignment. It shows she's a religious reactionary with low comprehension skills clouded by her own bias. The writing itself, ignoring the idiotic bias is a clear sign of a child who believes her Twatter posts count as literature. The professor responded in a totally appropriate and professional manner simply explaining what she had done wrong which was PLENTY. She deserved no better than a 0. She didn't do the assignment! This immediate whining and running to board members and such about your grade is beyond pathetic. Take your punishment, learn a lesson & shut your bitch mouth. That's what's typically happened in colleges and universities of higher learning for years, you don't do the assignment, you don't get the grade. You show no understanding of the subject you don't deserve to be credited for understanding the subject. I understand this is UO & not Harvard ( no insult, I attended a few semesters at a Midwest state university, thankfully transferring and finishing up at a private, liberal arts university), but if they help this harpy, or "ding" the professor, they will surely have a larger problem coming. Thank you for sharing this extremely sad story( I worry for our youth....geez, I sound old!) frankly, I would worry about a 60-year-old riding an essay like this! Plus, just to keep some "street cred" here ( LOL)...will someone please show her the back of your hand? Gee, violent, Ikr?!?!
I was wondering why this story seemed vaguely familiar to me, and just now realized it sort of echoes an incident from middle school. In a geography class, we were all assigned different countries to do reports on, discussing that county's form of government, school system, population, major cities, major imports/exports, major geographical features, etc. When we had all our information, we were to deliver it orally to the class and then everybody would talk about similarities and differences with the US.
China was assigned to a girl who was a preacher's daughter. She spent her whole report talking about how the Chinese "worshiped false gods." The teacher interrupted her several times to remind her that this was not the assignment, that she was supposed to write about X, Y, and Z, not critique their cultural or religious beliefs.
My best memory of those multiple exchanges is the teacher explaining that, while their beliefs about their gods might be different from hers, those "gods" were just as real to them as her God was to her, and it was not her place to pass judgement on them. The expression on her face was just priceless. You could almost hear the little gear wheels spinning furiously in her head, unable to spit out anything but "Wut?"
There was another exchange or two, but it concluded with her announcing primly that "well, that's just not MY philosophy," and taking her seat.
I do not necessarily see this as a problem. God made Samantha Fulnecky a complete fucking moron on purpose and for a purpose. God is very intentional with what He makes, and I believe trying to change Samantha Fulnecky's fucking idiocy would only do more harm. Samantha Fulnecky's fucking idiotic failure to read and understand things should not be considered “stereotypes”. Samantha Fulnecky naturally wants to do fucking moronic things because God created Samantha Fulnecky with those fucking idiotic desires in her heart.
Except that God doesn’t exist to make people anything. The believers of faith over evidence created her and want to destroy our education systems so they can dominate the ignorant, indoctrinated ones to donate money to their scams.
She didn't write an essay -- she mounted her high horse of assumed moral superiority and launched into a diatribe against anyone and everyone who isn't a crazy-eyed bible thumper like her.
Intellectual midgets always seem to get their panties in a bunch when it is pointed out to them that their logic is flawed or that they failed to do the required work.
If this young woman achieves any personal growth or wisdom in the years to come, she will one day physically cringe at the ridiculousness of the failed assignment she turned in, her sniveling about the resulting grade, the public stink, and her 'thinking' while armed with a not yet fully developed brain. Then again, maybe she won't achieve growth or wisdom at all.
People don't grow or mature if they never face consequences. As this snivelling coward immediately ran into the arms of a bunch of enablers, she ain't getting consequences. Or none she's going to be prepared to accept as deserved.
It is SO painfully obvious that pathetic loser has never had to face consequences or hardship in his entire spoilt brat existence. Why else is he so unable to cope with anything resembling criticism? The guy never grew the hell up. Imagine being so insecure you somehow manage to become the most powerful in the land and still throw tantrums because someone suggested you're not the fucking Messiah. On second thoughts, don't. It would be a thoroughly depressing experience.
Indeed he’s a poor businessman, and if he didn’t project the perception of him being far richer than he ever was, he would have been curtailed long ago.
Dude's been cheating to get ahead his entire life and even with all that privilege on his side he STILL failed at everything he ever did. Only reason he got the presidency was because it was politically expedient for the people who gave him a leg up. Yet somehow people are SURPRISED that he's turned out to be a malicious incompetent who ruins everything he touches.
I read about the story yesterday, but not in the detail that Hemant presents. It’s even far worse in reality then it is in my fantasy.
This handmade handmaiden—LOOK! SHE’S EVEN WEARING A RED (ALMOST A) BURQA— says
“ I do not think men and women are pressured to be more masculine or feminine…” as she insists on exactly that.
“I strongly disagree with the idea from the article that encouraging acceptance of diverse gender expressions could improve students’ confidence.” it could certainly help any young person to be accepted. As the victim of bullying when I was a child, as an observer of people, as a former school teacher, as all kinds of things— it is the non-acceptance that makes the lives of so many children miserable.
“ Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth.” Society doesn’t push that lie, that’s one that that’s pushed by Christian nationalist and Christian dominionIsts. And she doesn’t give a crap about the harm that is caused to kids who are different. Any boy who is not masculine by some ridiculous standard as a target for the kids who need to prove how masculine they are by beating up on kids who are not. Again, I experienced this as a child
“I do not want kids to be teased or bullied in school. However…” and that “however” is the biggest lie she tells. Of course she does. Her own femininity is so insecure that she needs to blame it on God.
Oklahoma ranks 49th or 50th in education, as virtually every single red state does when it comes to any measure of social well-being and progress. This alleged female and her alleged religion are a good reason why. Republicans have ruled the red states for more than 50 years, And the people in those red states have been “educated“ not to notice that they rank at the bottom of virtually every measure of social well-being.
Of course, you can call me paranoid, but I think that this is part of the plan. Denigrate education, denigrate critical thinking, denigrate anything except getting your so-called thoughts from a collection of books written 2000 to 3000 years ago from apeople universe away from us in thought, language, culture, history, environment, law, morality, science, education, and understanding.
The boys will do those masculine things like pumping oil and hurting/herding cows. The women will do those feminine things like bearing their children, keeping the house, and watching their kids die because they are so uneducated that they think that God wants them to die from highly preventable diseases.
I have often said that there are no rewards or punishments in the universe, there are simply consequences. And this gender obsessed young woman will, I hope, experience exactly what she wishes to inflict on people she doesn’t know, clearly knows nothing about, can’t be bothered to know anything about, and who have done her and intend her no harm.
And here it is in a nutshell. Christians like her 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 that they 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 the truth and then go on to claim that one just has to have faith in what the truth is. At no time do they have any research, other than one book, to back up their truth.
They insist on having their own subjective truth, then refuse to make space for anyone else's, and demand that reality itself conform to their worldview alone.
It'd 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 be fun to watch them dash themselves on the rocks in their indignant refusal to admit the existence of the looming cliffside... 𝘪𝘧 we weren't all stuck in the same boat 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 them.
She also probably didn't like that they said her truth wasn't greater than her fellow student's truth and her personal opinions don't trump data. She got butt hurt because she really thought her stupid opinions hit hard and they didn't.
I was an English major in college and had to write critical essays in every English class I took. When I read Samantha’s essay, I almost died laughing. Not just for the biblical nonsense but it seemed to me she took one look at the assignment, decided it was too onerous and took the lazy way out.
One time I turned in a shitty essay because I was under the gun in several other classes. The teacher, who I’d had for several courses, gave me a well deserved shitty grade. He told me he knew my work and that paper was no where close to being reflective of what he knew I was capable of. He gave me the option of redoing it, but he’d lower the grade by one.
I did redo it and received a B. Yep, I would have had an A if I’d done it right the first time. Grateful to that teacher and lesson learned.
Religious beliefs and religion as a whole are the roots of all evil. It’s clear that her “conservative” racist, bigoted mommy has a lot of influence on this sadly uneducated, illiterate fool. If this is how the university teaches their students to research a subject, provide a response to agree or disagree with an idea, opinion, hypothesis- then these students, if graduated, will contribute to the demise of free thinking, and researched educated thought. She might as well go grovel at erika Kirk’s feet as she is the perfect candidate to be a christian blah blah grifter.
Girl if you believe so strongly in Biblical gender roles wtf are you doing in higher education...
There are plenty of right-wing Bible Colleges she could be attending rather than the best university in her state.
But then, she would have to be a bullsh... Missionary in one of those yucky countries that is not the US. She now can claim persecution without having a broken nail or split hair.
The best university in the state With the worst education outcomes nationally ( which is saying a lot with WVA & MS). Oklahoma is a state this nation should lose. They bring almost nothing positive to 🇺🇸
non native American people are slowly moving out of OK. pretty soon it will be owned completely by Native Americans, as it should be. it may be a hard transition. decades of racist home loan policies, redlining, and even terrorist attacks on black and native people have concentrated a lot of wealth into the people who are moving away. hopefully they can get that sorted out.
Failing for one. Plus she didn’t even understand the assignment.
The school must have no grade admission standards.
Probably looking for a future professional husband 🙄

Game, set, match. 👏👏👏
Conservative Christians are very quick to play the victim any time they are rebuffed in their attempts to force their beliefs on others.

This is happening in Oklahoma. The power is already in their hands.
Not the power of life and death. Not yet anyway.
Not if you are a cis woman or a trans man https://www.abortionfinder.org/abortion-guides-by-state/abortion-in-oklahoma
I don't doubt that what they advocate can lead to great harm through third parties, but they do not have the power to simply order the death of anyone.
Nah, the clergyman’s grip;
it’s even more controlling than that.
My thoughts exactly. I also think Samantha is the kind of person who cries religious discrimination when stores don’t have their Christmas decorations up soon enough or clerks wish her “happy holidays.”
Does Conservative Christian mean Fundamentalist Christian?
Just wondering...
Let's just say that there's a lot of overlap among fundamentalists, evangelicals, christofascists & Christian nationalists -- all very much on the far right.

I wish I could like your comment a hundred times. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
OMG this is amazing. I lost it at "martyrbating". 🤣
So well said Joan!!! Every moron who thinks like this nitwit needs to read your post!
Hold on, did they say this course was Psychology or Grifterprenurship???? I'm confused 🤔
Hey there, don't insult us! We would've at least included a couple bible passages and read the assignment!
That's some brilliant writing there!
She whines that people are to afraid to step on toes yet turns right around cries that HER toes were being stepped on.
If she had bothered to actually do the assignment, she'd have saved herself grief.
Other people's toes. You can step on other people's toes. Her toes are special and precious.
Snowflake toes if you will.
Snowflake toes, I like that. There is app 2 mm snow on my veranda now. Melting already.
[her Bible-based essay,”]
She did not cite the bible at all. Nor did she provide references to people who would support her personal interpretation of a 2,500 year-old story that the Jewish writer cribbed and changed from Mesopotamia. Nor did she quote or cite scholars or scholarly works to support why anyone would care what an Iron Age writer retelling and adapting the creation myth of other earlier cultures would be reliable or even worthwhile to pay attention to their opinions of gender rolls. And she didn't even quote any scholars or teachers from the people the myth was originally written to.
So, no, her essay was not Bible-based. It was parroting words she has been indoctrinated with from infancy. Nothing more. Maybe I'd throw her a point for being a good parrot, but I would fail this essay if she had written it for a Bible class, let alone a Science class.
The writing is grade-school at best and certainly not something any college professor should accept.
I was thinking about this too. There’s so many scholarly resources in theology/religion that she could’ve used to substantiate any of these claims to make the paper an academic piece.
Yeah, but she's being lazy. She'd rather parrot than think.
Which I would also attribute to her indoctrination and years of being taught that thinking sends you to Hell.
Definitely being lazy. I am surprised there was not an option to fix the paper and turn it in again for more credit. But then I guess there wouldnt be the story here if that was the case.
I would bet she would refuse to do so because she told "da truth" and her instructors couldn't handle it, so they're the ones who are to blame.
* I base this guess on the instructors/professors being described as "mentally ill" people who shouldn't be around "our kids."
She thinks she's too important to read.
That's likely a factor. She looks like the pampered princess who has always gotten her way, although there's the possibility that she attended a high school that taught her that spewing Jesus crap was the answer to every question (it is Oklahoma, after all), and she's too brainwashed to understand a single thing the instructors were trying to tell her. All she heard was "failed essay" not the reasons for the failure, and she's probably been taught to expect such "persecution" for her beliefs.
And probably lacks reading comprehension, anyway.
Definitely.
Lazy bee-otch!
I actually ran a snippet through a few AI detectors, and the results were mixed. I suspect it's a blend of AI and her own modifications.
Hey, Fulnecky...
Here's a dispatch from reality: You are NOT being persecuted. You live in a country where your religion is by far the dominant one.

Guess MIL is too sensitive to want to hear about genocide and such, the poor fragile snowflake.
That was hilarious.
Could not watch all of it.
You can kinda feel the gray cells dying, eh?
Because "They can't handle the truth!"
She has disrupted the lives and jobs of her instructors over this and is now preening for the cameras as if she actually accomplished something.

Samantha Fulnecky's fucking idiotic failure to read and understand things should not be considered “stereotypes”. Samantha Fulnecky naturally wants to do fucking moronic things because God created Samantha Fulnecky with those fucking idiotic desires in her heart.
FTFY
Gotta say. Love that reply. You're no "wreck".... you're spot on!👏👏
Except that God doesn’t exist to make people anything. The believers of faith over evidence created her and want to destroy our education systems so they can dominate the ignorant, indoctrinated ones to donate money to their scams.
LOL - I love this. If God is all powerful and does everything with purpose, then why would he create her so dumb???
Dumb as a box of rocks and damn proud of it.
She didn't write an essay -- she mounted her high horse of assumed moral superiority and launched into a diatribe against anyone and everyone who isn't a crazy-eyed bible thumper like her.
Intellectual midgets always seem to get their panties in a bunch when it is pointed out to them that their logic is flawed or that they failed to do the required work.
If this young woman achieves any personal growth or wisdom in the years to come, she will one day physically cringe at the ridiculousness of the failed assignment she turned in, her sniveling about the resulting grade, the public stink, and her 'thinking' while armed with a not yet fully developed brain. Then again, maybe she won't achieve growth or wisdom at all.
I'm betting on the latter.
People don't grow or mature if they never face consequences. As this snivelling coward immediately ran into the arms of a bunch of enablers, she ain't getting consequences. Or none she's going to be prepared to accept as deserved.
As the current squatter in the white house exemplifies, every day
It is SO painfully obvious that pathetic loser has never had to face consequences or hardship in his entire spoilt brat existence. Why else is he so unable to cope with anything resembling criticism? The guy never grew the hell up. Imagine being so insecure you somehow manage to become the most powerful in the land and still throw tantrums because someone suggested you're not the fucking Messiah. On second thoughts, don't. It would be a thoroughly depressing experience.
Indeed he’s a poor businessman, and if he didn’t project the perception of him being far richer than he ever was, he would have been curtailed long ago.
Dude's been cheating to get ahead his entire life and even with all that privilege on his side he STILL failed at everything he ever did. Only reason he got the presidency was because it was politically expedient for the people who gave him a leg up. Yet somehow people are SURPRISED that he's turned out to be a malicious incompetent who ruins everything he touches.
Some people can learn and become better people, but somehow I believe it has to be something extraordinary thing if she achieve wisdom.
She'll probably get one or two wisdom teeth to get rid of, so there is that.
I've gotten rid of all my wisdom teeth. No room for that.
I read about the story yesterday, but not in the detail that Hemant presents. It’s even far worse in reality then it is in my fantasy.
This handmade handmaiden—LOOK! SHE’S EVEN WEARING A RED (ALMOST A) BURQA— says
“ I do not think men and women are pressured to be more masculine or feminine…” as she insists on exactly that.
“I strongly disagree with the idea from the article that encouraging acceptance of diverse gender expressions could improve students’ confidence.” it could certainly help any young person to be accepted. As the victim of bullying when I was a child, as an observer of people, as a former school teacher, as all kinds of things— it is the non-acceptance that makes the lives of so many children miserable.
“ Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth.” Society doesn’t push that lie, that’s one that that’s pushed by Christian nationalist and Christian dominionIsts. And she doesn’t give a crap about the harm that is caused to kids who are different. Any boy who is not masculine by some ridiculous standard as a target for the kids who need to prove how masculine they are by beating up on kids who are not. Again, I experienced this as a child
“I do not want kids to be teased or bullied in school. However…” and that “however” is the biggest lie she tells. Of course she does. Her own femininity is so insecure that she needs to blame it on God.
Oklahoma ranks 49th or 50th in education, as virtually every single red state does when it comes to any measure of social well-being and progress. This alleged female and her alleged religion are a good reason why. Republicans have ruled the red states for more than 50 years, And the people in those red states have been “educated“ not to notice that they rank at the bottom of virtually every measure of social well-being.
Of course, you can call me paranoid, but I think that this is part of the plan. Denigrate education, denigrate critical thinking, denigrate anything except getting your so-called thoughts from a collection of books written 2000 to 3000 years ago from apeople universe away from us in thought, language, culture, history, environment, law, morality, science, education, and understanding.
The boys will do those masculine things like pumping oil and hurting/herding cows. The women will do those feminine things like bearing their children, keeping the house, and watching their kids die because they are so uneducated that they think that God wants them to die from highly preventable diseases.
I have often said that there are no rewards or punishments in the universe, there are simply consequences. And this gender obsessed young woman will, I hope, experience exactly what she wishes to inflict on people she doesn’t know, clearly knows nothing about, can’t be bothered to know anything about, and who have done her and intend her no harm.
"I don't think kids should be bullied 𝘣𝘶𝘵 it's their own fault for being too different" is what that line of thought boils down to.
As the saying goes, 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 "𝘣𝘶𝘵."
You are not paranoid, you are truth teller.
"𝘏𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩..."
And here it is in a nutshell. Christians like her 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 that they 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 the truth and then go on to claim that one just has to have faith in what the truth is. At no time do they have any research, other than one book, to back up their truth.
They insist on having their own subjective truth, then refuse to make space for anyone else's, and demand that reality itself conform to their worldview alone.
It'd 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 be fun to watch them dash themselves on the rocks in their indignant refusal to admit the existence of the looming cliffside... 𝘪𝘧 we weren't all stuck in the same boat 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 them.
What I was going to say.
Me too. SIGH.
"Everyone has their own truth." Sure they do, when they get to invent their own realities to live in. That said, I have to cite the following:
𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑡ℎ 𝑖𝑠 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒.
𝐼𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑡ℎ 𝑖𝑠.
-- Both quotes the words of Aron Ra
She also probably didn't like that they said her truth wasn't greater than her fellow student's truth and her personal opinions don't trump data. She got butt hurt because she really thought her stupid opinions hit hard and they didn't.
The expression "trump" (here "Trump") "data" sounds like a category of oxymoron.
As I like to point out, in British slang a "trump" is flatulence. Which is very fitting.
Bats are birds and insects have 4 legs, and that's the truthhhh.
Thanks Lily Tomlin!!
I was an English major in college and had to write critical essays in every English class I took. When I read Samantha’s essay, I almost died laughing. Not just for the biblical nonsense but it seemed to me she took one look at the assignment, decided it was too onerous and took the lazy way out.
One time I turned in a shitty essay because I was under the gun in several other classes. The teacher, who I’d had for several courses, gave me a well deserved shitty grade. He told me he knew my work and that paper was no where close to being reflective of what he knew I was capable of. He gave me the option of redoing it, but he’d lower the grade by one.
I did redo it and received a B. Yep, I would have had an A if I’d done it right the first time. Grateful to that teacher and lesson learned.
Anyone majoring in humanities would laugh at that attempt of naysay.
I wrote better paragraphs in 3rd grade, lol
My alphabet soup writes better paragraphs.
After being digested, even!
😂
Staged publicity stunt for her mom? They seem to share the same IQ and grifting styles
Religious beliefs and religion as a whole are the roots of all evil. It’s clear that her “conservative” racist, bigoted mommy has a lot of influence on this sadly uneducated, illiterate fool. If this is how the university teaches their students to research a subject, provide a response to agree or disagree with an idea, opinion, hypothesis- then these students, if graduated, will contribute to the demise of free thinking, and researched educated thought. She might as well go grovel at erika Kirk’s feet as she is the perfect candidate to be a christian blah blah grifter.
