Actually, the "lady" (Nancy Hopkins) who got distressed at Larry's speech is on the MIT faculty. She had pulled the same stunt over there a few years earlier:

"Hopkins made a name for herself a few years ago by whining incessantly about gender discrimination at MIT. Indeed, she complained so much that she was able to finagle the chairmanship (sorry, the chairpersonship) of a committee tasked with finding discrimination at MIT. Shockingly, Hopkins found discrimination! Her report made her a hero in the pages of the New York Times, which dubbed her a "reluctant feminist" in the headline of its gushing profile of her."

"The report, which emphasized the feelings of anonymous female professors, found that discrimination manifested itself in a "stealth-like" way at MIT — which is generally PC code for "I'm not going to provide any evidence." The supposedly convincing evidence was kept secret, while the official report explained: "Discrimination consists of a pattern of powerful but unrecognized assumptions. . Once you 'get it,' it seems almost obvious."

thanks.

their words and actions are transparent to most now. they've done this stuff for decades.

i'm 6' 2" and athletic. apparently this disturbs some "equity" feminists who deliberately cross my path on campuses or in bookstores. sometimes they even bump into me.
