I got to a university in Canada which is a double bloody whammy for any guy trying to GTOW. Anyway I'm in a class that focuses solely on studying Shakespeare's plays which I quite enjoy. We started with Two Gentlemen of Verona and I loved the comedic elements. Bizarrely, though, the teacher decided to focus on the 10 lines in the entire play that hint at a potential rape (which doesn't even happen). What struck me more though than a female teacher focusing on that (which doesn't surprise me in the least after 3 years at this damn institution) was the supplemental essay at the back that focused on the same thing.
We spend 4 weeks, 3 hours a week total, discussing each play and I really didn't want to make a fuss about how the genius and wit of the rest of the play was ignored so I just brought it up before class to the girl sitting next to me who I get on with quite well. We had a very civil discussion about how annoyed I was at what I just mentioned. To my dismay the guy sitting one row up turns around and says "WELL. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH HAVING A GO AT SHAKESPEARE FOR BEING A MISOGYNIST..." etc. I just said, listen buddy you can think whatever you want about whatever you want, but putting a feminist perspective on Shakespeare does it an incredible injustice.
The point of this story is that I wanted to ask if any of you have ever done something similar and been similarly "called out" for it.
Good luck out there.
