Constitutional jurisprudence implicitly recognizes that public college and university employees are agents of the state.

Affirming the topic is a prerequisite to any discussion about marginalization within academia. People are held at the mercy of the will of public colleges and universities. If these institutions are placed into positions of power, they get to decide when and where people are allowed to freely speak, if at all. This concept depicts symbolic domination and naturalizes the inequality between the state and the people, specifically marginalized people.

Giving is an especially effective practice of symbolic domination in Bourdieu’s view because it involves
AND
the material inequality between donor and recipient as the normal order of things.
The idea behind the concept of symbolic domination ties into modern patriarchal violence. Operating under the truth and reality of sexism and oppression, our society justifies implicit and explicit exclusion of the feminine from public spaces, such as colleges and universities, and violence against them. This violence is universal but not monolithic – those who are identified as feminine are persecuted on class, ethnic, racial, religious, sexual orientation, and able-bodiedness. Queer bodies and trans-people experience patriarchal oppression as well due to the perpetuation of gender and sex binaries created by hegemonic masculinity.

What have these claims to do with the idea that when it comes to knowledge
AND
of the credible, let women’s knowledge count as the knowledge it is.
Thus I advocate that public colleges and universities should not be given the right to restrict constitutionally protected free speech. Giving them the right to restrict speech will always result in more exclusion of the feminine from public spaces. The only way to solve for the marginalization of the feminine body is to Rage against the system and for us to take our rights. We aren’t going to sit around and wait for the system to grant them to us; we’ve done that for way too FUCKING long now. We must adopt the Encyclopaedia: The World, According to Women.

A few, a few men, have with a like satisfaction told the story
AND
a new Encyclopaedia. Its title: The World, According to Women.
Although our struggles are not the same, feminine bodies of all intersections can use Fury to learn and fight back against the truths of our situations - refusing to listen to each other can only hurt the progress in our struggles. Our Fury is beautiful. It is energizing. We must forefront the different manifestations of Rage in order to produce any change. Targeting the knowledge base of society is key to garnering those impacts.
