[dood]

Maybe the women participated more or had more significant contributions than the men?

Sexist pig.

i couldnt have phrased it better myself!!

Does pattern and practice discrimination work for gender? I remember reading about African American firefighters or something that basically held that regardless of discriminatory intent of the grading if the ends are discriminatory it is discriminatory. Wish I could remember more for you or if I didn't just make most of this up in my head - either way good luck.

Obviously this should not be taken as legal advice. It certainly wouldn't be good legal advice if it was.

Sounds like the San Francisco firefighters, iirc.

If I were you I wouldn't bother (primarily because you get no benefit out of it other than fighting the good fight).

If you care, then you may as well start with the dean. I think the prof is more likely to give you the run around.

Oh, well don't rule out suing...

Real suggestion, make google e-mail address with fake information that is obviously for protection from a coffee shop internet access point, e-mail dean of student service about this issue and ask to remain anonymous, wait for reply. He'll reply saying professor didn't break any rules. Hit up girls that got good grades that belong to you. They owe you now. Win. Move on with life.

I think its pretty obvious that a woman can earn a higher grade than her male counterpart only when a male professor finds her sexually attractive. Most bitches ain't got brains to do it themselves.

Yeah, mis-characterizing what happened makes your argument a lot more tenable.

Is there a word for embarrassing one's self then pretending it wasn't genuine?

I'm looking at german. They are good at creating new words.

What? Pretty sure I was kidding, honey. The only time I was serious was in my original post.

But thanks for informing me of my genuine intent because I had no clue otherwise.

I was assuming the comment was facetious and was meant to actually advance the argument that it is sexist to assume that women outperforming men is the result of sex discrimination. Are you saying there were two layers of sarcasm here?

Probably. I actually don't think that OP is unreasonable to think it could be a weird sort of favoritism. But sex discrimination...not sure.

Yeah, I'm confused as to how someone could see a woman, and an intelligent one at that, talk about "most bitches not having brains" and not realize it was sarcasm...

Eh, he got that case wrong anyway. Desicriminatory results are not good enough. Needs intent.

Calm down internet white-knight. Everybody recognized her post as sarcastic. However, that sarcasm seems predicated upon a clear misunderstanding of what's actually at issue.

A weird sort of favoritism that manifests itself in the men all being placed in the bottom half of the class and the women all being placed in the top half? I'm curious what kind of "weird sort of favoritism" could do that without somehow involving their gender. Very weird sort indeed. Sure it could be a coincidence that it broke down that way, but when 40% of the grade is subjective that raises an interesting question.

I didn't think I got riled up. Also, there is a reason only Fox's statement was quoted...If I felt you didn't get the sarcasm I would have quoted you as well.

Did some douche really quote me to point out I added a letter to a word?
