    When I was in university, I had this medieval philosophy prof who didn’t believe women should go to university. He was not subtle. He would tell us that university education had been “refined over thousands of years to specifically teach the male mind, not the female mind”

        He wasn’t opposed to women having a postsecondary education, mind you, but he did not believe they should be at universities. He never explained what the alternative was. He just felt like women in academia did themselves a disservice, setting themselves up to fail.

        I usually tell this story like it’s funny, although it’s not. It certainly wasn’t funny to have my presence in his classroom negated like that, especially in front of my classmates, who were mostly male

        But I tell the story now as if it’s funny because, I don’t know, maybe that’s the only way I can process the aggressive misogyny of it. And when I tell it, men often say, “that’s not a funny story, you should have reported him”

        I’ve been thinking a lot about this story lately, both with the Ford government’s anti-trans movement, and the exhausting and ongoing discussion about academia and “freedom of speech” and whether profs should honour their students’ pronouns

        And a lot of the men who have said “you should have reported him” about that prof are also men who say “universities are the bastions of freedom of speech and no one should be coerced into using language they don’t agree with”

        I have a hard time distinguishing the difference between a prof glibly opining that women shouldn’t go to university and a prof glibly opining that a student’s gender isn’t real. Both are dehumanizing, in the sense that they present certain people as being lesser than others

        It’s just interesting that most people that I tell my story to will recognize that the prof in my story was offensive and probably deserved some kind of disciplinary action, but some of them think that students who want their gender & pronouns used are “special snowflakes”

        Everybody at a university deserves to have their humanity recognized. Everybody deserves to feel welcome in a classroom. Every. Body.

        So "medieval" modifies both "philosophy" and "prof" in this case
