Vanderbilt Prof Calls College Math a ‘White, Cisheteropatriarchal Space’

Whut in the wide world of sports is “cisheteropatriarchal“?  Sounds like it could be fatal, doesn’t it?

I called college math, particularly the Calculus classes I hate to take, “hard”, but don’t ever remember saying “cis-hetero-patriarchal”.

Apparently, math is racist now.

“Cisheteropatriarchal” is a term in ethnic studies referring to “a system of male, straight, conforming-to-assigned sex system power,” teacher and curriculum designer R. Tolteka Cuauhtin told the Los Angeles Times in a 2019 article.”
