TBH, this is very well written. Impressive, even if I disagree with the argument.

I was also impressed. My takeaway wasn't that the author thought white guys should shut up, but that they should prioritize listening when the issue is something they have little firsthand experience with. Nice piece!

Would you be equally "impressed" with a piece that says "Should black girls still be allowed to talk?"
Do you believe that black girls should "prioritize listening?"

PP here. I don't think you read the piece, or you wouldn't have injected such ignorant hyperbole. Unless you just want to stir up trouble.

"The piece" is even worse.

And, please answer my question. Do you believe that black girls should "prioritize listening?"

It's disgusting. Anyone who has graduated from Dickenson should hang their heads in shame.

It's "Dickinson."

PS: I loved the essay and was thinking something similar as a white man tried to mow me down with his words today. He is so used to spouting off, being right, acting all knowing.

Any engineering school will be challenging. Even more so if the school has a strict curve. My undergrad (which I won't name here) curved to a 2.6/4.0 GPA. There were no minus grades, so the scale was:

A= 4.0
B+ = 3.5
B = 3.0
C+ = 2.5, etc.

This put the school average GPA close to a C+ average. As were hard earned. Bs, Cs and Ds were common. We had an expression "D equals diploma" and it was true for many.

40. As far as I know the school's curve hasn't changed. They were very much against grade inflation.

Amherst has grade deflation for a top school. (It gets the most favorable adjustment of GPA by Yale Law School, where the adjustment is based on a combination of the quality of the school and the grading scale.)

Swat and UChicago both have a rep for being hard and miserable. MIT is very hard in no small part because there are quite a few actual super geniuses there and it’s hard to make that up with hard work in Math/Comp Sci/Physics especially.

I don’t know about now, but W&M was 25 years ago.

DP. After reading the title, it was clear what the agenda was. Not going to waste my energy on idiots.

I’m surprised to see that - seems like the kind of student Oberlin or Smith would crank out.
