There's probably a reason why this teacher wrote her article in Inside Higher Ed anonymously. She discusses how she had been teaching her class about "rape culture," because... well, what else is there to learn about at college? Anyway, she was in the middle of this series when one of her male students pushed back at her line of reasoning. He questioned the existence of "rape culture," talked about how men are sometimes raped as well, and -- worst of all -- he described feminism as "pointless."
Let's first take a moment and marvel that universities aren't already wired for surveillance so that if a student expresses those heretical views, the PC police show up to make an arrest. But somehow, this student's independent thoughts made their way from his brain into a research paper, which was just too much for the feminist teacher. This is how she described it:
As I went over his paper, I realized that I was reading a paper that sounded word for word like something the man who raped me would say. And not only did this sound like something my rapist would say, this student fit the same demographic profile as him: white, college male, between the ages of 18 and 22.
I got up from my desk and went for a walk. I could not concentrate. I had plans to read a book later that afternoon, which were shattered by being thrown back into a pit of traumatic, fragmented memories by this student's paper. I was furious at the fact that, as an instructor, I was expected to take his paper seriously, and scared of what he might do if he did not like his grade. Although I knew it was unlikely that this student would literally try to rape me, his words felt so familiar that I began having trouble distinguishing him from the man that did. Their words were so frighteningly similar that the rational-instructor side of my brain could not overpower the trauma-survivor side.
The worst thing about this professor's lament is that she tells that her afternoon book-reading plans were disrupted by this paper. The horror!
She goes on to write that she believed the student's paper undermined her professorial authority. "Zero!" she screamed at the paper. "You get a fucking zero!"
Wow. I think it's time this teacher took a step away from the classroom and a step toward a good psychologist. If you are a conservative on college campus today, realize that your very existence can trigger teachers into hysteria.
This woman should not be teaching.
I missed the profanity. I should have edited that. Sorry!
Clearly a mental case.
Why would someone even take that class?
This person needs psychiatric help, pronto.
If she cannot discern the difference between a piece of paper and a real person, she is in serious danger of going postal.................
Could be required.
Required.
I think you’re precisely correct. Moreover, she cannot perform her job without not just her personal bias, but her inability to distinguish a paper and reality, as you said. It’s the male student who is the victim, now.
The teacher’s reaction is the textbook definition of the word “hysterical”.
She says she was raped. Reads like she has PTSD.
So every college attending White male between the ages of 18 and 22, fits the profile?
Wow, so this person doesn't mind placing all college attending White men in this age group into the "GUILTY" column.
No wonder he triggers her rape memories. He's guilty. He is essentially her rapist in her mind.
This woman needs to seek help. Until then she needs to be taken off the academic roster.
Doesn’t anyone on her department’s faculty or in the university administration recognized that this woman is batcrap crazy?!?
The scary answer is that in comparing her to themselves, they think she’s normal.
This is a prime example of classes and instructors we have all the way from kindergarten through college...
We do need an extreme makeover of the education system...
Return it to the states....
I had a class like this once with a similar teacher (professor) and decided that the only safe thing for me to do was right about the efficiency of having a strong lightweight bow set in a men’s or women’s eight and that the stronger and smarter these two people are the better the boat was (Sport of Crew or Rowing) — I made it so technical I know her eyes must have literally glazed over. I got an A+. She (the professor probably didn’t even read it). Part of being a conservative on a college campus is writing about stuff these morons have absolutely zero care about or anything that threatens the fragile existence. BEAT THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME!!!
She teaches rape because the first utterances out of her mouth to any new class is that she was raped (if true). She immediately gets the sympathy, loyalty and listening ear of the class. She thrives on that sympathetic attention. She sets in motion a guilty conscience right out of the gate for anyone who dare question her because you know, she was raped?
She is sickening trying to impression young adults and obtain therapy from easily manipulated youth. I’d state plainly what I think of this wench but I’d be banned
*write, not right...
Bull$hit !
Zeroxed from this FAKE, made-up essay. Anyone can make stuff up anonymously.
A tendency for some (you decide what percentage) women in authority: the inability to separate the personal from the organizational or the theoretical.
sounded word for word like something the man who raped me would say.
this student fit the same demographic profile as him: white, college male, between the ages of 18 and 22.
felt so familiar

Go lock yourself away. You are making judgement son hypothetical syatements.
There, there .... poor baby. Why don’t you just hand the masty paper over to a man to grade it and have a nice cup of tea, and not worry your pretty little head over it?
