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.

Dominance is usually established pretty early in classroom situations. The brighter, more interested, and more aggressive students -- three quite different categories that don't necessarily overlap completely -- stand out. The other students tend to defer to the dominant group because they don't want to look foolish in front of their peers. It becomes very difficult (as well as time-wasting and conversation-killing) for professors to coax responses out of students who are basically hiding out and hoping they don't get called on.
I don't think a feminist manifesto is going to change this.

Its true that in many classes, certain people dominate the discussion
In high school I looked forward to them. That gave the teacher less of a chance to call on me to give an answer when I didn't have one......

Um, read the second sentence, and notice that it was a joke. A reference to her manliness. aka humor.

“women are consistently denied the same classroom opportunities afforded to their male classmates”
Nope, she has the same “opportunity” to speak in class as the men, she is just failing to successfully take advantage of the opportunity apparently.

men in a room are only really listening to each other.
Well this much she got right at least :)
Though, we will pretend to listen to a woman that we are either romantically involved with, or hoping to be.
To: C19fan
Mansplaining definitely can happen in response to women who try to express their frustrations or describe their experiences to men,
We wouldn’t need to “mansplain” if women weren’t so wrong about so much so often :P

Hmmmn. She came FROM an “all girls” high school.
And no claims that the first “boys” that she has ever been in a classroom with act ... differently than the girls ?????
More attentive and more questioning is now more “aggressive” !!!!

She has never had me in a training class, conventional classroom, first aid class, fire fighting class, or anything else.
I WILL speak up and ask questions!
