Let these liberals eat themselves. I love to watch them squirm under the oppressive PC blanket they have created

She sure resolved that conflict!

He should have just gone to the committee, inched down his pants waist to reveal the loungerie he was wearing.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Check out her Facebook page, read some of the lunacy in the comments about the Superbowl, that Stephanie Anne Boyle is another to not joke about what items are sold on what floor the elevator stops....

Wow!

I am to understand then that her Ph.D. in Conflict Analysis and Resolution told her that reporting was the proper resolution? Seems like someone with a PhD would have had a better response.

Why I pretty much keep it vanilla with anyone I don't know well. And why I don't talk to people unless I have to.

Yeah, but the point is that did seem like a pretty vanilla comment. I assume she is genuine, but that just means she has lost all touch with actual people.

Her "scholarship" is the modern equivalent of "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin." A meaningless exercise in nonsensical mental masturbation. The only people who actually care are her professional colleagues. If it didn't spill over on to some innocent undergraduates, we shouldn't even care. But it does.

School administrators who take it seriously should be ashamed of themselves. They are worse, because they ought to know better and shut it down.

But assumptions by liberals are always deemed true, even when proven false. Assumptions by conservatives are always deemed false, even when proven to be true.

This is how he should have responded to the panel, with a counter complaint about her presuming his gender role....

Sounds like something Groucho Marx would say. I did a quick search and saw it used in several movies from the 1970s on, but I'm sure it began long before that.

Does anyone know where the line originated?

What the hell is gender studies? There are two and only (unless one is born with both). Either you have a inny or an outy, end of story. How does one get paid probably large sums of money obsessing about this?

If you look over that synopsis of her resume', it reads like nobody wanted to give her tenure, so she's bounced around like a ping pong ball.

Dr. Lebow's response was incorrect. He should have:

A. Smacked Spumoni on the butt and told her to behave.
B. Told Spumoni to shut up and make him a sammich.
C. Neither A nor B.
D. Both A & B.

This. It was a stupid comment and he opened the door for crazy to take it to the extreme. Anybody who works in a corporate environment these days would have cringed at his comment if they were in the elevator. It’s like he was asking for HR to jump his ass.

That's good. But the correct answer is D. He should have also told her to shut up and make him a sammich.

I've gotta wonder what can the ISA possibly do? I'm not part of academia so I have no idea.

If an international assoc pulled this shit with me I'd tell them to fuck off.
