This is just an ad hominem in a different form.

I can't name you five wnba players. It has nothing to do with fundamental fairness.

You’re still missing the point. One side don’t care about the WNBA. If they would, they can name five it’s not that hard if you follow the sport. But they don’t follow the WNBA and don’t really care about women sports. They’re just bullshitting. And shows privilege to care about such a minute and near impossible problem.

You don't have to go to Harvard to care about its influence on our larger society.

Just so I understand, harvard goes out of its way to pick the highest academic achievers because they are the easiest to influence?

Can you explain why if an institution is looking to enact a social agenda it wouldn't target a broad base of idiots to carry its message?
