A colleague distributed an article he wants us to discuss. The gist of the article is that the author suggests that any kind of scholarly research that might hurt her feelings should be forcibly stopped.
The best part of this is that the author claims to be a feminist. The second best part is that people who write this kind of crap never consider the possibility that research in the areas they approve of (such as, say, global warming, evolution, Marxist theory, gender studies, etc.) might also just happen to be found offensive by somebody.
Of course, I’m not going to participate in the discussion because it hurts my feelings.
P.S. Now do you understand why I was miserable teaching in the Ivies?
