Female student demands men 'step back' in class discussions

Male students who talk too much in class are oppressing their female peers, a Wesleyan University student contends in a recent op-ed.

Tara Joy, a freshman who came to Wesleyan from an all-girls high school, writes in The Wesleyan Argus about how the excitement of her first year of college was dashed by the realization that some of the men in her classes “talked constantly.”

Sexist pig.

What about the female students who talk “too much”? Whom are they oppressing?

[MGG]

She should transfer to Smith or Welleseley.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Might I ask...
Why were all tribal chiefs in Africa and the Americas (north and south) male?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is silly. Its true that in many classes, certain people dominate the discussion. I don’t think that’s a male/female breakdown — sometimes women can’t shut up in class too. Its the teacher’s / professor’s job to control that. To not call on the student who always has his/her hand up and to pick students who don’t talk. This girl is turning an age-old problem into a PC-gender issue.

How said it is that only 18 years old, she’s turning to the feminist and victim’s life of loneliness and anger

[Cowboy Bob]

I guess they don't teach "sammich makin'" at her "all girl" high school.

Such a pity.

*Men* talk too much?! On average, woman speak 10,000 words per day, men 6,000. I put it to this forum, who are the chatterboxes among species Homo Sapiens?

[nickedknack]

woman = women

...the excitement of her first year of college was dashed by the realization that some of the men in her classes “talked constantly.”

Wait until this fragile little flower meets the real world. All it took to "dash her excitement" was for a few people to talk a bit much. The poor little thing may need a "bankie" and a juice box.

[CodeToad]

Women talk just to hear themselves talk.

I rarely have to tell a man to stop talking.

Women see meetings and classrooms as a means to get attention.

[Responsibility2nd]

Its the teacher’s / professor’s job to control that.

 

Correct. Perhaps a note to the teacher and a copy to the department head is in order.

[Mr. Douglas]

She should make me a sandwich!

What’s her phone number?

[traderrob6]

Precisely.

[Mr. Douglas]

This girl is turning an age-old problem into a PC-gender issue.

That sums it up.

[Migraine]

Why were all tribal chiefs in Africa and the Americas (north and south) male?

Because the women were too busy being witches.

[ealgeone]

Bet she’s a hoot of a date. So much rage at an early age.

[JimRed]

To be expected of man hatin’ bulldykes.

Perhaps the professor is already controlling that and has determined that this airhead’s mindless babble doesn’t advance the classroom discussion...
