News that a university lecturers’ union has banned straight, white men from attending their equality conferences in a bid to create “safe spaces” is deeply depressing.
University and College Union equality conferences are held exclusively for women, LGBT, ethnic minorities or disabled people, and members must declare their “protected characteristic” when applying to attend.
Surely UCU can see the irony of hosting an equality conference where – as George Orwell wrote – some are more equal than others?

The Regressive Left is at it again............More and more it seems like the most overt discrimination in modern America is coming from the "progressives"

So I'm banned from a conference I never heard of and would never attend, oh my , what will I do???
These types of actions are strictly for attention seeking. That in itself is a symptom of lots of underlying mental and emotional issues.
I hope they get some serious things done in this exclusive conference!
But when Bahar Mustafa, Goldsmith University’s Students Union Welfare and Diversity officer, took to Facebook to invite people to the event, she insisted that it was for “BME Women and non-binary people” only, adding “if you’ve been invited and you’re a man and/or white PLEASE DON’T COME”.

Yes, well, I can't think of many blacks who would attend a KKK rally either, but most people wouldn't hesitate have a problem with them rather then poo-poo them.
