Another safe space created.  No more shall anyone ever needlessly suffer in that room. 

To include all the university's students, faculty, administrators and alumni showed tremendous bravery on those decision makers. Doing it any other way would have been an act of cowardice and tyranny. 🙄

to whom do I complain about female scholars ?

[Chibearsv]

Let’s egg her house!

[DaBoot]

Then she cannot be a scholar .

"The 90-year-old painter Rein Dool is still proud of the painting he made in the mid-1970s of the board of Leiden University: six serious-looking men, fat cigars in their mouths."

Fat?  Those things look like they're barely pushing 42 rg. Clearly the painting is no longer fit for purpose and must be removed.  Real serious men who smoke fat cigars feel unrepresented by that piece of "art".

Is triggered still a thing?

nice red meat article for the boys.

Hmm.. The world is still in peace, at least in her eyes..

[Perla]

Ladies, now there are no more excuses for doing badly in exams or even failing because the cigar-smoking men were staring at you.

All it took was for someone to say 'Thoughts?' ...

These hypochondriacs, they'd feel a draft when a spider breathes. 

[BrightonCorgi]

Intolerance at its best.

maybe we could get the artist to add an indigenous tribesman or some other oppressed group to balance out the white patriarchy ?
