A 22-year old female University of Utah student reported her business professor to campus administrators for, among other things, assigning too many historical texts written by influential male economists of the past.

“I understand the importance of studying the work of those before us and the importance of context,” wrote the student in a complaint to the university’s bias reporting system, where she labeled the professor’s transgressions “derogatory,” “degrading,” and “intimidating,” thereby causing a “hostile learning environment.”

The report also accused the professor of frequent sexist language, but the bulk of the complaint centered on his assigned readings for the business course.

Did you forget Imelda Marcos’ ground-breaking work: “Get It On!”?

No, it should not suffer in silence. It should suffer while speaking strongly as needed. Like Jesus.

Well, that IS 20th century.

Women’s lib isn’t an unmixed bag. There were some good features. Although Imelda could have done without that wasteful shoe fetish.

“Try claiming a “hostile working environment” if you are a white guy unhappy with gay pride posters...”


You have to understand. There are now “protected classes”. They include women, homosexuals, and people who call themselves “people of color”. It is required that their complaints be investigated and taken seriously. As a straight white guy, you are not a member of a protected class so you need to just shut up and take it.
