That claim is categorically false; I posted a satirical commentary about two bloggers, Zuska and Absinthe, running an idiotic survey about potty equity. No reasonable person could read it as referring to female professors in my discipline. Indeed, the female professors in my discipline are actually out there publishing; not sitting in front of a computer whining about how they can't do science because there aren't enough women's toilets...and writing sexist commentary about anyone who disagrees with them. Or is it OK to make crude comments about the genital anatomy of those who happen to disagree with you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34418100.post-63557105594062492212007-08-19T21:31:00.000-04:002007-08-19T21:31:00.000-04:00I agree -- the blog post could certainly be part o...I agree -- the blog post could certainly be part of what makes a hostile environment.

I merely mentioned it in my blog because it makes me angry, especially since a) his blog post paints his female colleagues as lazy whiners, and b) my tax money goes to pay for the computer he uses.<BR/><BR/>I am also aware that his blog post alone would almost certainly not be actionable under Title IX. However, if it is combined with other similar obnoxious behaviour in the workplace, it certainly would show a pattern of hostility towards women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
