Dude, your philosophy book sucks ass. *frownyface*

I also really dislike this bit ...Since false charges of sexual harassment can still ruin careers and reputations, because, well, to me? It sounds like he's saying, "yeah, everyone gets such a bee in their bonnet over this, I don't get it. It's not a big deal!" Which, no.

Research and teaching can be significantly hampered when scientists feel too uptight to make conversation or socialize with their colleagues or interact in a normal way. (!!!!) Oh God, what you said. I'm actually half-asleep, and yet I feel sick at that. Fuck. Next he'll be telling us that girls should take sexual harassment as a compliment. >:( >:( >:(

Dude, can't you just. I don't know. Explain that yoy have a serious problem with this guy's views, and aren't comfortable using him as source? And you're happy to find another, more acceptable source, by both your standards and the - university's? ...as a replacement.

Advocating tolerance. Hmm. Okay. Sounds a bit like the guy who told [livejournal.com profile] barmy_bunk that she should be tolerant of the fact that he was calling her sons little girls, and meant it in a bad way. (Or something to that effect. It was here, I'm kind of half asleep, I'm not being clear.)

See, this is why I only read my texts for essays and such. I read - amd still reading; you know what it's like, when you find out you don't like a book, it's much harder to keep going - Orwell's "Down and Out" for class last semester, because I really liked Animal Farm, and I liked his writing - but dude, no. The guy is such an asshole, he's racist and sexist, and if I hear one more person say, "What can you expect? It was the times," I am quite honestly going to cut a bitch. I still like Orwell's writing, I happen to agree with some of his political stances (again, if Animal Farm is anything to go by). But he is so wrong when it comes to white male supremacy - upper class white male supremecy, even >.<- that it makes me physically ill, and I have to put the book down. Again, there's a reason why it's taking me so long, and why I have so many fines on the damn thing. (Damn uni library...)

Um. Sorry for the rant. >.<. Too much caffeine, not even sleep. I'm going now.
