As I have commented before, from my college faculty training, (a minority lesbian) taught the class that on the whole, white males are privileged, selfish, arrogant, and racisist, guilty of microagressions, and don't even know it, it's just part of who they are.

I see two issues. The first is the silly nature of the complaint, the second is that people took the silly complaint seriously.

I have not seen a photo of the “offended” but I suspect there is a little Dutch boy looking to place a finger somewhere near her.

There are so many angry and resentful people all around us. And in some venues-- like a college campus-- on any given day there are a hundred opportunities for them to lash out as victims.

Things are so good for women in America-- and for minorities of every kind-- that they are pissed off over... nothing.

Wait just one second.....

Sounds to me like the male professor likes to wear women's undergarments. I'm assuming he identifies that way.

If I were him xem I would file a complaint against her for assuming he xe identifies as a man and making him xem feel uncomfortable about his eirs cross dressing.

Now THAT is the real oppression! She assumed his gender!

So the correct and safest thing to do in the presence of a female is remain silent, even if spoken to ( for example “what floor”). And avert your eyes so as not to be accused of leering. Hmmm. Then the only thing missing will be a big trash bag with eye holes cut in it. Perfect, Islam at its finest with PC gender reversal thrown in for fun.

Only if she had a flashing neon sign hanging around her neck saying "TROUBLE! TROUBLE!" would it be more obvious.

Again, this could be easily resolved if the male professor had offered to meet her at 7 o'clock in the morning under the oaks, to answer for her offended sensibilities. Weapons of her choice. And tell her to bring a friend.

Merrimack used to be a Catholic school. With no "gender studies" courses. (I almost went there, and several friends used to teach there.) Guess it's no longer Catholic, and the charity has gone as well.
