Should Meri report her professor?

[CountDeMoney]

Heh, "pointers".

[Ed Anger]

Droopers.

[garbon]

Droopers.

Gotta get that pharma product, man.

Er, having read through the other thread, unless I missed something (like the part where the prof asked you to stay after class, groped you, took out his dick and asked you to suck it) then no, I'd sooner eat that tarantula before bitching to the higher admin that the prof is rather eccentric and socially awkward.

I'm actually surprised the thought even crossed your mind, you've always struck me as a tough broad.

You attention whorin' us Meri? Stop it. Marti has that shit on lockdown.

[HVC]

She's publicly shaming berk


Anyone, I voted the ignore it option.

[Monoriu]

No.  You have more important things to worry about.

From the thread it doesnt seem like he has quite crossed the line into being intolerable. His sexism is more just in the old man vein and it doesn:t seem to be directly hindering you too much.
Seems to be something for the evaluation forms rather than kicking up a fuss about.

[Berkut]

What is funny about this is that most people are saying EXACTLY what I said.

Yes, you should do something about it. Or alternatively, do nothing about it, in which case it must not really be all that bad.

Careful Tyr, if you don't agree this is a crisis, you may get the old "Fuck you" treatment.

Sadly, it is directly hindering Meri greatly - she was publicly "humiliated" and nearly in tears, and was considering not even returning to the class.

Sounds pretty hindering to me.

[Berkut]

Absolutely! Teaching manners to cads is far more important than her potential career.

Does anyone really believe that Meri talking to or even reporting her entry level computer programming teacher for saying in public "It's when we get to the programming that it's going to be hard because you have to focus on one small thing at a time, and women have a hard time with that. But that's okay, because you're going to have it so much easier with the social stuff, like now."

Can possibly have any effect on her career prospects? Or even her scholastic prospects?

I am guessing any university in the US today is going to fall all over themselves to make sure there cannot be any possible repercussions once a comment like that is reported and substantiated by the other students in the class.

Hell, for that matter, she could probably sue them for a lot more than she can make as a programmer if there were.

[Valmy]

Nah his being a jerk is his problem.  Best to focus on yours, particularly if this is the last time he does something like this.

I think we're getting a bit less worked up about it, but though

What happened?

What happened?

Prof was socially awkward to Meri. She recounted it in another thread. Berkut told her she was being silly and emotional and then got upset when Meri told him to fuck off.

That is accurate except for the part where Berkut told her she was being silly or emotional. Didn't say either of those things.
