Something I found really funny when I read this article a few days ago was that they had a banner with "Equality" written on it as part of their slogan or something alike.
It's amazing how these individuals are too thick to see the irony that they're trying to be progressive while specifically discriminating people based on race and gender. There's no way to really get around the fact that banning men and white people from a talk is sexist and racist. But then I'm not really that surprised, Goldsmiths has a track record nowadays of being home to the type of people who don't think men or white people hold a valid opinion and if they do express one they're simply "mansplaining", that it's not possible to be racist to males or white people due to that pesky privilege and patriarchy. They probably believe in free speech too.. Unless that speech happens to disagree with them, then they'll threaten to riot in order to to shut the individual up like we saw only too recently at Goldsmiths. As much as I loved Goldsmiths, I'm ashamed at how spineless they are and the fact I shared a university with these borderline sociopathic tools.
In any case, reverse the gender and races and watch the ****storm ensue.
I found it quite telling how men are banned too, considering men are a minority at Goldsmiths and universities as a whole- if they were true to their word of equality and diversification they should be working to incorporate more males. Personally I would have rocked up with as many guys and white people as I could too see the sour look on their faces.
On a quick side not, the title while technically correct is slightly off. They are banning men as a whole and white people as a whole rather than specifically white males.
