Today, the 3:1 female to male class met again. Highlights inside.

[OneforfreedomParticipant 930]

Just incase you need a recap,

Male Prof
Average age of students 23
15 Females; 3 of whom have already hit the wall big time (obese, fugly, feminist hair styles)
Only 4 male students

Highlight 1: Before the class begins, 2 out of the three land-whales corner the professor and rudely talk to him, sarcastically asking “Are you going to lecture at us again?” in an exasperated tone. He doesn’t do discussion classes- he just teaches on the board and these girls don’t like that.

Highlight 2: Before the class begins, the same 2 land-whales start complaining to each other about having to come all the way to this building (which is like 0.5 miles from the rest of the medical school buildings). They’re like “Ugh we come here 3 times a week….it’s too much”

Highlight 3: Prof begins teaching, and these two girls begin gossiping loudly showing each other their Facebook screens. And they’re sitting right in front of the prof. Prof does nothing.

Several other incidents like this but yeah, annoying again.

I hope the instructor grades on a curve.

A STEEP curve.

If you don’t mind my asking, what’s the class subject?

that is good that it is lecture only as I wouldn’t want to discuss anything with these ladiez

these two ladiez need a ‘time out’ to think about how they are interrupting class for others

If they would have been in my Intro to Stellar Astronomy class, my professor would have kicked them out double time.

It’s a Foundations of Medicine lecture.

And he’s a really nice guy; he’s just a shy speaker…which would definitely explain why he’s not standing up to these girls.

Damn. Just damn.

Remind me not to ever get sick.

Of course that might explain the 3:1 ratio. They probably need that because something like only one in five of those laydeez will still be anywhere in the medical fields withing ten years. Meanwhile I expect the male students will all stick it out for the duration (phallic pun incidental but appropriate). I suspect the school has to stack admissions that heavily skewed towards women to have any hope of meeting some mandated 50/50 ratio at graduation.

If this was centuries ago, those women wouldnt even have a chance to step in a classroom but now they’ve been given such privilege, they just waste it and just CONSUME yet again.

We keep on PROVIDING but they just kept on CONSUMING even have the audacity to ask for more

NOT true.

Despite the modern feminist mythology, history is full of female scholars. A particularly famous one was Eloise de Argentile. The thing of it is, actual scholarship (things like “women’s studies etc.” do NOT count) is pretty difficult. Marriage has always been a MUCH easier option for women. Also centuries ago they would have had to pay for their educations themselves, as did men (though men have a surplus of labor to manage it without help).

I can all but guarantee the laydeez in @oneforfreedom‘s class are so blatantly wasting their time there because they, themselves, aren’t actually paying to be there. At least until their student loans come due, but then they’ll just whine for “debt forgiveness” on the taxpayer’s dime.

@sidecar Interesting, from what I have gathered from history class women’s education consisted mostly of home schooling not in a classroom setting

Unless my history teacher lied to us *gasp*

In that case, Damn you Mr. Steenveld !

Most history taught today is largely fantasy, at best. It’s almost always a cartoon version of the past intended to push a modern ideology. The history taught at any time tells you more about that time than about the time of the history being taught.

Education of the non religious sort (and calling it religious “education” instead of indoctrination is debatable) throughout most of history has been more of a tutor / tutored system. The classroom is a relatively recent development, starting out (sort of) in the medieval and renaissance schools in places like Bologna, which opened in 1100 or so and is still going strong. Earlier examples like the ancient Greek academies and their ilk were more of a tutoring affair, though with only one tutor for multiple would be scholars, and would be considered odd by modern scholarly standards in any case. For example the Paripatetic school of Aristotle in the Lyceum was mostly him walking around talking philosophy s~~~ while his audience followed around him. The school of Pythagoras was even stranger, and while it resembles what we might call education more than most philosophical schools it resembles what we would call a cult a lot more. And it admitted women.

Throughout history specific exclusions against women in education has been the rare exception rather than the rule, and usually only happened in religious schools, and even then there was usually a female equivalent: nunneries ran schools for postulant nuns just as monasteries did for postulant monks. It’s not that women were excluded but that they only rarely applied. And for their own reasons. Why would a sensible Greek girl want to wander around chasing after stinky old Aristotle as he blathered on outside in the rain and cold when she could stay at home in the warm?

Interesting, from what I have gathered from my history class though – education for women consisted of home schooling (500- yrs ago) not in a classroom

*Gasp* unless my history teacher lied…Ive been living a lie this whole time.

Damn you Mr. Steenveld !
