Toxic Schmoxic



'Star Trek’ Jokes in Class Make Women Feel ‘Unwelcome,’ Says University of Washington Prof

This is so wrong on so many levels that I don't know where to begin...

As a lifelong math & science geek, I have never felt that I couldn't handle myself around geeky men, in fact, I have found them to be delightfully witty and fun to be around. I don't have a problem dealing with any qroup of men, geeky or otherwise. I can hold my own, thank you very much, Professor Horse's Patootie.

I question the very use of the term "toxic male culture" because it's neither toxic or exclusively male. What I do find toxic is your whiney, whimpering, crybaby speech that infers that women are special snowflakes who require a fainting couch when they come across mere WORDS.

I also find it toxic that you are paid to project your personal insecurities onto large groups of young women, Professor Azzhat.

As for me, I'll take the "toxic male culture" over your sexist nonsense anyday.

It's come to a point where everyone can be angered by anything they choose, and it's sad.

Messymimi: Sad and ridiculous. Imagine where this country would be had this type of thinking predominated in the past? It has to be stopped sooner rather than later. It has already gone on too long.

I was a cop for 25 years. I know how men can be, but I also know how women can be. I never had a problem either. This gal needs to pull up her big girl panties and get over herself.

Have a fabulous day. ☺

Sandee: I know how some women can be, too. There are definite princess types, but they shouldn't be exulted as the female paradigm.

Not long ago I would have thought this was from the Onion, but not even the Onion can satirize what goes on on campuses today

Jan: That's saying a lot. I dismay for college students today and their poor parents who are footing the bill for, in many cases, rubbish.

Kirk: Computer, go to sensor probe. Any unusual readings?

Computer: No decipherable reading on females. However, unusual reading on male board members. Detecting high respiration patterns, perspiration rates up, heartbeat rapid, blood pressure higher than normal.

Harry Mudd: Men will always be men — no matter where they are.

Face it, we are all just a big oddball mess of human beings regardless of gender, race, religion, etc.
