If You’re Rich, Bisexual and Mentally Ill, Columbia University Wants You!

Posted on Comments

Trust me, when an Ivy League university freshman says she’s “upper middle class,” she’s what most of us would call “rich”:

I am undeniably absolutely white and mostly WASP
my family is upper middle class and supports me financially . . .
my gender is basically “everybody told me I was a girl and I believed them because I didn’t have any better ideas”. I’m not really a girl but my gender identity isn’t really something that I feel strongly about so I go by she/her/hers pronouns and present femininely. I’m not really cis but I benefit from cis privilege in a ton of ways and I don’t feel comfortable calling myself trans
I’m bi as hell
I’m coming to realize that my gender and sexuality are often very tied up in my mental illness/neuroatypicality and so sometimes they change and that’s ok
I’m mentally ill (diagnosed with depression and BPD [borderline personality disorder], probably got some other shit going on too) and autistic

She’s a bisexual Columbia University freshman, and is a supporter of “mattress girl” Emma Sulkowicz. You will recall that the fellow student Sulkowicz falsely accused of rape, Paul Nungesser, filed a federal lawsuit against Columbia last week.

The bisexual mentally ill freshman is not happy about this:

i’m reading the complaint by paul nungesser against columbia for “allowing him to be harassed” and i’m just getting mad about a lot of things and this is such misogynistic bullshit

Also, this:

i’ve read through paul nungesser’s entire complaint and I will debunk it point by point if I have to because people on tumblr are starting to turn against emma sulkowicz

So, if you’re an “upper middle class” family with a mentally ill bisexual daughter, send her to Columbia University, where she can prepare for her future career in the challenging field of Ranting on the Internet.

Some of us manage to rant on the Internet without an Ivy League degree, but that’s just because of our “cis privilege,” I guess.

  8. In 1960 we had something like 200 million people in America. Now we have over 300 million. At some point you have to wonder if that urban clog combined with a relatively aimless existence due to class wealth isn’t driving some people mad. There seems to be a type of insane decadence where people are feeling traumatized merely by having the word “no” uttered at their crazy behaviors.

  10. It’s pretty much impossible to be autistic and borderline at the same time. Either someone is hitting up Dr. Google to make herself more special, or is so scrambled she’s been sent to a dozen specialists who each have had their own theory about what exactly is going on there.

    Call it a crazy hunch, but I am highly skeptical of claims of “autism” from women involved in the highly socially networked and emotionally manipulative world of sjwism and feminism.

  11. It’s pretty much impossible to be autistic and borderline at the same time.

    Yeah, the one has been described as the extreme “male brain,” the other as the extreme “female brain.” They’re polar opposites, and an actual aspie would probably know that. I’ll believe her on the borderline though.

    Okay. As much as I’m for freedom, I honestly think that people with BPD should have the internet taken away from them for their own good. The combination of a disorder of personal boundaries and immediate access to everyone everywhere is a prescription for disaster.

  16. *Claiming* to be autistic, and faking autism, in order to manipulate people and make it seem really sinister for them to abandon you, and *believing* yourself to be autistic, because of an unstable identity that latches onto whatever the flavor du jour is, are both completely in line with being borderline, on the other hand.

  17. Okay, she admits she has mental illness as though that’s some sort of credential.

    Yeah, sure, sweetie, I’ll pay very close attention to all the insane points you make. Because barking batshit nuts people always have the best insights and reasoning skills.

  18. She’s such a Special Snowflake that she had to let us know that it was okay to use the pronouns that match her gender.

    As Paris Hilton would say, “It’s beyond.”

  20. She’s having a five alarm meltdown over the unique page view IP’s, and has fallen back to a mobile only fallback. Every unique IP is an attack on her you see.

  23. Yeah, and who invented TCP/IP as well as the rest of the Internet? Straight white men, that’s who! No wonder she’s mentally ill.

  25. Yeah, given the various arbitrary and unstated rules of SJ and radical feminism, I’d expect that anybody who genuinely had autism would pretty soon end up accidentally breaking some unwritten rule and getting cast out of the movement.

  26. Oh, I see how it is now. You cleverly set me up to make a funny, knowing that I would find it for you. Sly dog! 😉

  28. “Neuroatypicality” is a keyword for autism, since high-functioning aspies have posited that they’re just different, not worse, and arguably better. I don’t believe that she is one, but she certainly seems to have latched onto the terminology.

  30. There seems to be a type of insane decadence where people are feeling traumatized merely by having the word “no” uttered at their crazy behaviors.

    1. Decline of family.
    2. Erosion of adult authority.
    3. Constant exposure to media.

    The advent of the 100+ channel cable TV environment is more significant than people generally realize. Every kid has their own TV and is able to hop around between channels at the click of a button, watching exactly what they want to watch, according to their childish tastes. This constant immersion in a fantasy world gives children a highly unrealistic idea of how real life works.

    Now, add to that the Internet and social media, which is also potentially a 24/7 immersion, except interactive. Instead of teenagers hanging out at the mall, now it’s teenagers hanging out on the Internet.

    Unless parents are supervising and willing to intervene, children will disappear into these fantasy worlds where the feedback constantly reinforces whatever the child’s appetite desires. So being told “no” — being contradicted or criticized — is a traumatic experience for many young people.

  32. When one is white, rich and attending an Ivy League school, it is soooooo difficult to find a billet in one of the Grievance Tribes, isn’t it?

  33. Transgender equity is the most pressing issue of our time.
    Anyone with Gender Derangement Syndrome is a saint — to be celebrated and glorified.

  34. The advent of the 100+ channel cable TV environment is more significant than people generally realize.

    Quite so. For that reason, I’ve never had cable or satellite TV. That’s not to say my children didn’t immerse themselves in their own little fantasy worlds, but those fantasies were active. That is, they required them to use their imaginations, instead of merely being spectators. I once watched my ten year old son hike 8 miles in Chiricahua National Monument swinging a hiking pole the whole way. When I inquired as to his behavior, I got a one word reply: “Orcs.”

    Query whether the Progressive Left’s aversion to “Free Range” children is part and parcel of the desire to expose children solely to the propaganda conveyed on cable TV? That is, if parents are afraid they’ll be arrested if their children run around and play outside by themselves, the children are more likely to plant their butts in front of the tube and imbibe whatever the media worthies believe is appropriate for them.

  35. So, if you’re an “upper middle class” family with a mentally ill bisexual daughter, send her to Columbia University, where she can prepare for her future career in the challenging field of Ranting on the Internet.

    This, this is why I hit the freaking tip jar!

  36. Query whether the Progressive Left’s aversion to “Free Range” children is part and parcel of the desire to expose children solely to the propaganda conveyed on cable TV?

    I think it’s simpler: they just want to know where their inventory is.

  38. I am appalled that a professional journalist like you would use the obvious redundancy “bisexual and mentally ill” in the title.

  40. It’s not about objective reality, it’s about her need to establish her bona fides in the community of victims. She probably wanted to claim Aspergers Syndrome but found that it was already “taken” by too many others in the herd for it to have any cache so she cranked it up to eleven. Thanks be to God that the internet did not exist when I was in college.

  41. I know a number of conservative bisexuals. None of them are feminists, and none of them voted for Obama.

  44. I’m smarter than I look. Which is probably inevitable, as I could not be less so and still be mobile.

  48. Yeah I’ve seen it happen. Not pretty. SJWs and feminists are run by bullies and mean girls. Think of the way such characters would treat the earnest special needs kid in high school and you’ve about got the picture of what they do to actual high-functioning autistics who stumble into their midst.

  50. Come on, Evi. You can’t just spring that on people. What if I’d been at the office?

    They’re certainly marine mammals, but less seal, more manatee.
