I think it's pretty clear that insulting a good school is just a way of compensating for a person's own ego needs.   I suspect the emotion is 'they think their so smart just because they went to (fill in the blank)'.    The facts are that some schools are more difficult and demand more from their students, than other schools. 

Stanford is also an incredible school, also near the liberal bastion of the Bay Area but well know for it's faculty and expertise.   Stanford is also considered among the top 5 schools in the world by some and is often seen back to back with Cal Berkley. 
When you use 'sissy' the implication is always 'feminine'.  You comment is demeaning to both women and men, IMO.

Let's be real, jobs require different skills.   No one school is going to be the top of nation in every department .    Part of the myth of 'better than' comes from personal bias.  What fits one prospective student, or what what fits one employer, is not the same for every student.
