Like when then UN passes a tiny and reasonable resolution and someone spends 10-11 pages ranting about how much they hate it, while also insisting they it's insignificant and doesn't mean anything?
The important thing is that everyone else is wrong, no matter what position they take. On anything.
Ah, but if you have a PhD in Disputatiousness from Oxford then you can't miss an opportunity to use it, eh?
The US being the only country to vote against it.
Cat owners that I have been would embrace it enthusiastically, with the addition of an 's' and an 'h' beforehand.
Aye, but you can't teach and discuss its topics without touching upon themes such as injustice, gender inequality, cruelty to native populations, and so on, and so it's one of those studies that attracts the ire of certain people. Hence all the bad-faith accusations of such courses being woke, virtue signalling, pandering, an attempt to make men and white people hate themselves, and, apparently, soft studies for people who don't have the brains to study math and physics. Et cetera.
Just imagine the onerous task of having to use your finger to turn a globe in order to see all the countries in their proper positions and relative sizes!
Well, I can barely navigate using GPS that literally tells me where to turn, so no, I don't use paper maps much. But that's a me problem, and I generally assume others are better at it than I am. I don't generally tend to assume that my personal navel gazing is of any interest to others.
I suspect you think you've scored a point. Knock yourself out, I literally don't care what pronoun you use for me. My sense of self is stable enough that trying to impugn my femininity is a waste of your time.
I am female. I also don't care.
What else do you need a map for?
There are no realistic global maps. They are all heavily distorted (an inevitability of mapping a curved surface to a flat one), it's only a choice of what you want to distort and what you want to preserve. But that's application-specific, it's not a universal choice.
All good cat owners know that cats must have at least ten different names, and no less than half of those names must be obscenities.
I'm pretty sure you can teach "here's where things are and how things are shaped and where borders are" without belaboring any of the social justice projects you listed out.
