I can't believe this idiot thinks "Trump trolls" are the cause of him not having a job.

His whole online presence literally screams...LOL! Do NOT hire!
And social media/online presence is really looked at these days.

Wide teaching experience? Kevvy boy here?

Gender Studies is a total bag of bollocks. All you have to do is namedrop bell hooks and Audre Lorde and Kimberlé Crenshaw and string together loads of crap about intersectionality and unpacking and examining privilege and maybe insert a quotation from Betsy Warfield's "the breasts refuse," and there you go. Done. Anyone who was willing to once-over the received wisdom and bullshit could do it. But could a Gender Studies lecturer teach something hard-nosed like chemistry or law?

I think not.
 
It sort of feels like a scam that school put out courses like this. Get a bunch of kids to sign up and pay for what is essentially a really cheap course to offer. It's printing money for schools. Better for them than a biology student who requires million dollar labs to work in.

Jesus, I didn't realize he'd been a minimum-wage adjunct for nine years. That's really... something.

He makes virtually nothing and chooses to live in incredibly expensive metro areas while being fired every few months for being a fucktard. His personal debt must be huge.

Like most of these people who dedicate their lives to academia in fields like women's studies, he's probably got some wealthy parents footing the bill. People who actually have to pay their way through life don't have the luxury of hanging around universities into their thirties in classrooms over this shit.

It doesn't seem like it. Back when the cops came to take him away, he was apparently living with his boyfriend in a tiny apartment that literally had holes in the exterior walls.

Maybe it's just because :powerlevel: I'm poor, but I can't comprehend how these people, even as stupid teenagers, look at the fucking bill and then sign up for useless derpy derpy shit that can never make you any money or benefit your overall life outlook.

Even looking at community college courses, I couldn't believe they had the balls to list shit like "101 Introduction to Reading Graphic Novels" next to real courses. Get the fuck out.

The thing is, there's nothing inherently absurd about academically studying pop culture. You could absolutely make a rigorous, substantive course out of comics or even Beyonce, where you choose some works, analyze them, and use them as a jumping-off point for examining society on a larger scale. It's just that this never happens in practice. Instead we get... well, this:

Academics always claim they are "putting pop culture in context", but they never do. At the very least I'd expect them to study how each pop-culture item involves lots and lots of people working behind the scene. But no: it is just Beyoncé. Beyoncé Beyoncé Beyoncé. Beyoncé the Genius. Beyoncé the Master Strategist. Beyoncé the Woke. I just come back from a used CD store where I took a peek at the booklet of Beyoncé 4. Each song has 5 or 6 writing credits, one even has 9! How can you take that shit seriously?! Madonna, another darling of feminists and pop culture "scholars", is just as bad.

Which in itself could be a great subject for study! The idea of the lone creative artistic genius goes all the way back to Beethoven - what does it say about us in 21st-century America that we keep on squeezing our celebrities into this mold even when their works are cranked out by industrial-scale organizations?
Imagine a 101-level English course that briefly traced the history of "the artistic genius" and asked students to analyze artists currently called geniuses (rightly or wrongly) in the context of that history. So many missed opportunities here.
 
I didn't know Beyond-shite has been financially supporting Ferguson and BLM. Now I have one more reason to despise her.

Beyoncé's been helping those that need it most for YEARS & always w/o headlines. everyone stays mad but she doesn't need recognition. the Formation Tour raised money for Flint, MI but she didn't make it a huge focus. Her BeyGood foundation has been doing amazing shit all around the world for years but she doesn't publicize it all for attention. Her and Jay gave money to bail out protestors after Ferguson and for Black Lives Matter protests. She gave 7+ million to help build a homeless shelter in Houston. i'm sick of people whining that Beyoncé doesn't do anything...she just doesn't ask TMZ to report on it so everyone knows. but she's doing the fucking work and putting her money where her mouth is. STFU.

I don't understand why so many of the reviewers call him "laid back" and "humorous". His Twitter chains show him as anything but.



I suppose the "social action final project" would be something like "harass 10 of your friends until they buy a Beyond-Shite CD".

Oh my God, something similar just happened to some online friend of mine. Like, she merely said that she thought Bayonse (That's what she's called in that Dolan show from which I posted a screenshot, and I couldn't be arsed to copypaste an e with a diacritic, so I chose to use that name) was overrated, and she got hounded by a bunch of obsessed fans trying to convert her.

AltGr + e = é.

I think it's because if you like Beyoncé then you are identifying yourself with a feminist who's woke af and therefore are a Good Person. It's a virtue signalling shorthand.
 
Kevvie gets into a retarded slapfight with someone called James Merse, who wants to debate him in Monteclair's campus. And the horror is -- Kevvie seems to be the less retarded of the two:
