It's part of a larger pattern of men using the new law to control and abuse women in their lives
Students need to make a big fuss about this. I mean overwhelming the administration with complaints, demands to be transferred to different classes, no student should take a class from these two ever, if these two are required for your graduation plan then that needs to be a mass protest from students so no one is forced to be in their class.
I feel like women have every right to just give up on us men at this point.
They kind of have. That's why they chose the bear.
You mean yourself, right? If you relate to what these people are doing enough to lump yourself in with them, keep the rest of us normal people out of your generalisation.
I'm a bit confused about the wording around students having to ask for leave from University.
Here in Australia, we have lectures, tutorials (which are more like classes) and assessment. Professors (we usually call them lecturers) can take attendance at tutorials and assign a percentage of your final grade to it, but it's not like a job where you have to call in if you're not going to come; you just don't turn up. Only two of my classes in either of my degrees counted attendance for marks.
For the easier classes you could (and people do) just not show up to classes and hand in the assessment before the due date, and still pass.
So is it like high school for you guys where you actually have to have an excuse for not attending?
Rules vary a LOT by university in the US; there isn't one consistent standard.
They even vary by professor. I had one Professor back in the day who did take attendance and I thought I was weird cuz no one else ever had no one else ever cared.
I get the impression students in the US get treated sort of younger for longer, e.g their PhD students still attend classes.
I think it varies a lot. None of my classes ever had attendance. But I have heard of other colleges where it was a norm for every class. Some colleges are just weirdly strict about stuff.
It's unbelievably creepy that these two guys are trying to concern themselves with anything at all to do with their students' bodies or health.
It just screams "got into teaching for the wrong reasons".
Anyone who ever stepped a foot on campus is aware of the fact that academia is full of sex pests abusing their power...
PhD programs are notorious for this and Adkins look the other way...
You want this PhD honey or are you going to throw it all away... Choice is yours!!!
Very hard to believe a group with even rudimentary education would place themselves in such a position
leave fuckmerica, it does not want you and you do not want it
Another great reason why we need good, anonymous currency and more privacy in society. Everything's all fine and dandy till your bank or google maps rats you out.
You really have to be an asshole to live in Texas at this point lol abort Texas, abort the south. I want them to succeed in secession for demonstrative value.
I live in Texas. We need people that vote against this BS instead of just leaving. Texas has a say in US politics whether you like it or not, so some of us need to try to get better people in office.
Furthermore, I'm a man and can afford to stay to fight for women's rights. I'm still protected, for now anyway.
My husband and I are both here and voting as long as the military forces us to be here. Every election. Local, state, and federal. Blue. Every time.
But fuck, the second my contract says I'm allowed to move, I'm selling my house, fleeing this hellhole ASAP, and will never willingly set foot in this state again. Just saying.
2012 Texas was different than it is today. Not great, but exponentially better. There's been a distinct decline over the past ~decade.
Nah you need to leave. Stop trying to swing a state that just needs to implode. Let those chimpanzees tear out each others' throats, it'll clean up the house in no time if they're left alone to their devices.
You really have to be an asshole to live in Texas at this point
Terrible take. A lot of us can't "just move elsewhere." All the surrounding states are still pretty conservative and shitty, moving isn't free, and you can't just sell all your shit and hitchhike and expect to be welcomed with open arms.
It took all of my measly life savings just to move, I still struggled with housing and finding a job for months, healthcare is a removed, CoL is higher, and I have to live in the city long enough to find my footing when I was raised to be accustomed to smalltown life. Don't get me started on the weather and day/night cycle and difference in climate, nature, environment. There's a bit of culture shock there.
And if all the non-fascists left, where are they supposed to go en masse? Somewhere that's slightly better? Overwhelm blue states that aren't prepared infrastructurally? A lot of the time, this kind of mass migration overwrites local culture and just ends up recreating the problems of the homeland. You're telling me California can handle an influx of 12,000,000 psychologically damaged texans who need to be deprogrammed and integrated?
Those are my comrades that are stuck in that hellhole, not some faceless NPCs who love trump and wholeheartedly support the decline towards theocratic fascism. That's our home as much as it is the fuckin nazis', and it sucks shit to be lumped in with them just because we're not gung ho about completely starting over when we barely scraped by to begin with.
Fuck you.
Among Texas voters, about 45% reliably vote blue. Fuck 'em all though, right?
A good business opportunity: a home swap for blue voters in red states and red voters in blue states, so that the Texas seceding dream can happen.
just give the shithole back to mexico
