It seems the new University of Wyoming slogan is sexist, racist, mysogonistic, and triggering!! What is this hateful slogan you ask?

“The World Needs More Cowboys”

And with that, social justice warrior(SJW) panties got bunched.

“The world needs more cowboys,” the campaign claims, evoking images of stereotypical western icons in the minds of some faculty and misrepresenting UW’s research and educational goals, associate professor Christine Porter said.

The UW Committee on Women and People of Color want the slogan shelved and demand another one be more representative of people and culture. In other words, they want the slogan to pander to their definition of diversity.

Porter also said this:

“For me, the clearest reason it’s unacceptable is the word ‘boy,’ excluding anyone who identifies as female,” she said. “In 2018 — and really for the past 20 years — it’s not been acceptable to use the generic male to pretend that includes female.”

Are your eyes rolling? Mine haven’t stopped rolling. This cattlewoman was having none of it.

Among all the reasons I can’t take extreme feminism seriously, the University of Wyoming is in hot water for the use of “cowboys” in their new slogan but not “cowgirls”. As the schools mascot “cowboy” is all inclusive term. This is Wyoming folks, get tough or get gone.

Understandably many UW alumni, current students, and people from Wyoming aren’t fans of this feminist identity politics horse shit.

I invite you to read this in hopes that you will understand the reason why myself and so many others are disappointed in the outrage surrounding The University of Wyoming’s new slogan “The World Needs More Cowboys”. Feel free to share. pic.twitter.com/SyrFtw4oC9

Why I think the world really does need more cowboys and why the University of Wyoming should stand by it's new slogan. https://t.co/hb2oHRcJmp

Porter hasn’t done her research. Otherwise she’d know that women have been cowboying for YEARS in the west! She’d ALSO know that the history of the cowboy encompasses not only the United States, but countries all over the world. If she’d spent a little time on research instead of looking for something to get all butt hurt about, she’d know that one in four cowboys were black from the Civil War into the early 19th Century.

But NOOOOO, Porter and the “committee” have decided that the word COWBOY is triggering.

To all who are “offended” by the University of Wyoming’s slogan, “The World Needs More Cowboys,” thank you for providing further proof that the world does indeed need more cowboys.

Seriously girls. Get a freaking GRIP! You are shoveling a load of horse shit.

UW is standing their ground. 

“The university is moving forward with the marketing campaign,” UW communications director Chad Baldwin told Campus Reform.

“The criticism of the slogan as being sexist, racist, and offensive simply does not hold water in the context of the overall campaign,” Baldwin added. “‘Cowboys’ is the university’s official mascot and nickname, and the upcoming campaign casts it in a way that we have demonstrated is effective in catching the attention of prospective students from outside Wyoming.”

Wyoming is the Cowboy state.

UW’s mascots are Cowboy Joe and Pistol Pete

What the professors with their panties in a bunch ALSO forget is that Wyoming was the VERY first territory to grant women the right to vote. In fact, when Congress  suggested WY drop that right in order to be granted statehood, WY told them to go pound sand. Furthermore, Nellie Tayloe Ross was the first woman governor of WY, the first woman governor EVER in the United States.

So don’t sit there and lecture Wyomingites about gender discrimination and sexism feminist crap. Our Cowboy state has been ahead of the curve for longer than you’ve been alive sister.

This is what being a cowboy is about. 

Code of the West

1) Live each day with courage.

2) Take pride in your work.

3) Always finish what you start.

4) Do what has to be done.

5) Be tough, but fair.

6) When you make a promise, keep it.

7) Ride for the brand.

8) Talk less and say more.

9) Remember that some things

aren’t for sale.

10) Know where to draw the line

It is a code that I and so many others who grew up in Wyoming know very very well.

Logan, an actual cowboy, isn’t a fan of the attack on his culture.

“Modern United States, go find a breed of people who will stick by each other’s sides through thick and thin, pray together, help one another and still endure the everyday struggles of their own lives just to put food on your table,” he wrote. “Go find a breed of people who give 100 percent everyday in all aspects. Go find a broader range of people. It doesn’t exist.”

Being a cowboy is not nor has it ever been about gender, race, or color. It’s about personal character, courage, and honor. Christine Porter is wrong and UW is correct. We definitely need more Cowboys and fewer SJW whiners.
