Female student demands men 'step back' in class discussions
Campus Reform ^ | May 1, 2017 | Toni Airaksinen

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.”

So women are inferior to men in the classroom setting and need special assistance to compete. That’s disappointing.

How about this: “Shut the hell up. I have something to say.”

STFU. Males and females are complementary. There cannot be one without the other. So STFU.

Not to sound sarcastic but perhaps the men have more important things to say than she or her type have. The men could care less about the matching color of their clothes and shoes, their eye makeup, their hair color, their date the night before and on and on. If you have nothing of importance to say, keep your mouth shut, you will learn more by listening than talking. (Yes I’m finished. :)

Young men should note this woman’s name. Avoid her (and her kind) so as to minimize your later life grief. What a shrew and loser.

Even the African tribal “shaman” were male.

Well, in some of the societies (pre-civ), for instance, in what is now Sudan, the witches were women. Posed against them, as protection from their vindictiveness, were some male shamans, whose job it was to keep those lady witches under control (if possible).

So, your corrective statement of my joke (love it when people correct my jokes) is too broad to be categorically true.

It’s like unfair, ya know. (Have you ever heard college age women speak? Pitiful. Then there are the filthy-mouths that should never be anyone’s mother.)

Lol!

From my favorite Cary Grant & Leslie Caron movie, Father Goose:

Walter: [teaching Catherine to fish bare-handed; in a hushed voice] Hey, here she comes again.

Catherine: How do you know it’s a “she”?

Walter: Her mouth is open, now be quiet.

I, a woman, got called down by a male classmate duing my master’s program for talking in every seminar. I answered him with a question: “So, you’re saying that the fact that I read every word of the assigned texts, highlight the important points, look up the things I don’t understand and do all the homework every week counts for nothing?”

That shut him up quick.

The answer is LEAN IN, girl! If you have something to say about the subject, raise you hand and say it. If one of those big bad boys interrupts you, tell him to wait his turn.

Quit your whining! You're an adult, as far as the college is concerned, so you need to fight your own battles.

One team has drafted a player. The next team has some many minutes to announce their choice. As they say on TV, that next team is on the clock.
