Should Meri report her professor?

[Tamas]

If your tolerance for ackward nerds unintentional insults is low, you might not be best positioned on the software field 

[Razgovory]

  Not necessarily asking for better grades per se, but sort of giving them a heads up that I'd be "bugging" them from time to time to make sure I was on the right track and to explore any options for extra credit.

I once had an old lady Spanish professor perv on me during her office hours.  Weird experience.

Is this how you met your wife?

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.

Its not that its "not really that bad". Its that Meri should not play the martyr especially when her martyrdom wont do a damn thing.   Its going to be a long time before CS catches up the the rest of the world in terms of how females are treated.  Especially if your attitude is any indication of the norm within that industry.

Can't imagine how old that gal would be now

His attitude is, "If you think his behaviour was a big deal, do something about it", which would seem to not be something that is counterproductive when it comes to change.

And as far as catching up to the rest of the world is concern, I doubt that her professor is conducting female genital multilation or female infanticide.

So you think saying something about someone who humiliated her, nearly brought her to tears, and caused her to consider not returning to class would be "martyrdom"?

I think the one who has some outdated notions about a woman's ability to take care of herself (especially Meri) is certainly not me.

I am glad Meri is, after much angst and drama, taking what has exactly been my advice all along.

Yeah, I am clearly some kind of misogynist because I think people should not tolerate someone gender typecasting them.

What an asshole I am.

What an asshole I am.

If you want to change that, I recommend that you 1) work on your listening skills; and 2) try to steer discussions away from right-vs-wrong adversarial debates.

Of course, that's only if you care

If that was your advice you communicated it very poorly. Jacob's analysis is pretty much how you came across, whatever the intent.

That is where you draw the line on unacceptable behaviour?

If you say so.

But really you come across as someone that doesnt quite get it -  which was essentially my point.

My seal of approval is more valuable.
