Professors who boast in seminar/reading-group meetings about how they "used to chase girls in undergrad instead of studying" are sexist wankers IMHO — they are even worse, 100% lacking empathy, when they do it to a group of all senior men academics except 1 PhD student woman.

Say something next time. It would have meant the world to me 10 years ago if somebody had.

Yeah, I probably should have. I tried to exchange sympathetic looks with the female student, to show I was sorry that she had to sit through that, but it probably wasn't enough

To be clear, present Olivia would say: "Ew, gross and unprofessional." or similar.

Also to show how much this kind of shit stays with you, this happened 8 years ago.

I know it doesn't change much, but that really sucks and I'm sorry

That's sweet of you to say. But you have to remember that it's not a student's *job* (nor mine) to police professors — and I'm only one rung higher really but I certainly try to do my bit.

Notwithstanding, nobody else will say anything so it's not like anybody is trying to fix it either in many cases. If you think profs are out of line, somebody ideally should say something though regardless! You'd hope another prof did it.

But if nobody does it, then it might have to fall on you. And that sucks, and like I said not your job, but... if everybody shirks the shit stays where it is.

I think the real issue, is why other profs aren't saying anything. That's the really disturbing thing.
