One might even go so far as to say that departments in which professors make comments like JJ's clearly "need improvement" as places for women students. Hands down, the most egregiously sexist and offensive thing that has been said in discussion of this issue thus far. (And I don't expect that it will be surpassed.)Tom Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642011.post-56670059821231660902011-07-21T15:56:27.057-04:002011-07-21T15:56:27.057-04:00I'm talking about feministing, feministe, and ...I'm talking about feministing, feministe, and various other blogs too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642011.post-23466331347584820972011-07-21T15:36:44.264-04:002011-07-21T15:36:44.264-04:00While I've had some bad experiences with that ...While I've had <a href="http://www.philosophyetc.net/2008/01/motivated-incomprehension.html" rel="nofollow">some bad experiences</a> with that blog before, I wouldn't want to overgeneralize. Lots of the people there seem perfectly reasonable, and are doing important work. Alas, a few bad apples can really detract from an otherwise-promising group blog, as we previously saw in the case of <a href="http://www.philosophyetc.net/2005/02/blog-review-conservative-philosopher.html" rel="nofollow">KBJ and The Conservative Philosopher</a>.Richard Y Chappellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725218276285291235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642011.post-59726706111823743372011-07-21T11:30:58.513-04:002011-07-21T11:30:58.513-04:00The worst silencing I've ever been exposed to ...The worst silencing I've ever been exposed to is internet feminists. They shut down discussions, ban people at the drop of a hat, use shaming language, try to get people to stop arguing by appealing to hurt feelings, and they throw imprecations quite freely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6642011.post-23963455260991882632011-07-21T09:32:38.986-04:002011-07-21T09:32:38.986-04:00Oh my.

I didn't save a copy, but her last line was something like "These are not the daddies you are looking for." =)Andrew M. Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606675886229313577noreply@blogger.com
