"The move to cancel gender studies is explicitly justified as a way to comply with Donald Trump's executive order of last year titled Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. That document makes the biological reality of sex a matter not of science but of law."
"But now it's as clear as day. The abolition of gender studies is a way of further guaranteeing impunity to the elite men whose contempt for and exploitation of women and girls apparently knew no bounds, whether they actually slept with the women on offer or simply shared Epstein's fantasies in order to gain influence or funding. Consider the example of David Ross, who was once the director of, among other prestigious art institutions, the Whitney Museum, and until recently a faculty member at the School of Visual Arts in New York until his resignation this week. In 2009, Epstein talked to Ross about funding an exhibition titled Statutory that would feature underage models, aged 14 to 25, who look nothing like their true ages, according to Epstein. Juvenile mug shots, photo shop, make up. Some people go to prison because they can't tell true age, Epstein explained. Ross responded to the idea saying: You are incredible!"
Texas A&M's board of regents voted to end women's and gender studies programs and to ban teaching of divisive concepts such as race. Florida's New College and several public universities in North Carolina, Ohio, and Kansas have enacted similar measures after red state legislatures passed related requirements. The cancellations are explicitly justified as complying with Donald Trump's executive order that treats biological sex as a legal matter rather than a scientific one. The abolition of gender studies is portrayed as a mechanism that helps protect elite men from exposure and accountability amid revelations in the Epstein files. A cited example involves David Ross discussing with Epstein a proposed exhibition featuring underage-looking models and praising the idea.
