I can't help it; I'm going to try one more time.

The federal government is reacting to "the crisis" in typical fashion....more nonsensical regulations, more beauracrats, more sensitivity training, more money spent on fluff that drives up the cost of tuition. Does one have to have a hidden agenda to react negatively to that?

No, one doesn't have to have a hidden agenda to react negatively to things one perceives are wrong or misguided. But the way you express your negative reaction—the constant (and dismissive) references to unnamed but obviously sinister "activists" and "feminists," the random link-dropping, the mantra-like refrain that "they" claim there is a "crisis" supported by things like reference to an article about the Miss USA situation, where none of "them" actually make that claim—all suggest someone who is not objective and who has an agenda that if not hidden is at least personal or part of some other agenda.
But I'll bite: Exactly how is the federal government reacting with more "nonsensical regulations" and more beauracrats? Specifics, please.
