My Teachers Mug

Hostile learning environment

THis is one of those things that's a bit perplexing. It's just a mug, who cares? But it's safe to say if it "Interesting uses for woman" there would be no shortage of people crying about it.

XavierMalory · 2019-04-07T04:52:34+00:00

I'd have asked her where I can buy the female version of that mug.

I'd also start filming before I asked. 😁

What grade are you in?

Avistew · 2019-04-07T01:13:46+00:00

That guy has such a huge smile, it should be called "How to care for your masochist".

Spoof_Code_17 · 2019-04-07T06:35:55+00:00

My question is, why does she even have that mug in the first place? Pretty sure it's not something all that common

sonicel1997 · 2019-04-07T07:53:14+00:00

They forgot registering for the draft

Thats kinda sick. Even if every one of our MRA visions came true, few if none of us would have a coffee cup depicting this of women, even if just as a joke.

Despite the small number of us that would, the matter is the overwhelming norm for women with us. How degrading men in the worst ways is just business as usual. Its "normal" and "just a joke". You have to sit through all of the annual EO training videos to learn to "not engage in harassment". You get brow beat and slandered and degraded for being a potential rapist, a misogynist or a pervert. Eventually you figure out none of these policies apply to protecting to you as a man, especially if you are a white man, if anyone from one of the protected classifications does this to you.

That mug isn't in a Gag store or someone's personal kitchen. That mug is in a fucking school.

seems a bit unprofessional for a school

14b755fe39 · 2019-04-07T11:15:13+00:00

Tell your parents to confront the teacher, its sexist.

dingoperson2 · 2019-04-07T13:29:37+00:00

Ask her things every now and then
If she doesn't give a reasonable answer, file a Title IX complaint, saying that you felt badly treated and you think it's because of your gender. Say that you have seen the mug on her desk and it makes you feel unwelcome.

DJ-Roukan · 2019-04-07T15:23:33+00:00

Tell her it is offensive in this environment of hate toward men, or better yet, go to the school board.

I once took a young male victim of DV (by his ex and her boyfriend), to the police station to file a report. All women in the office. They has signs on the walls, "so many men, so few bullets", "grow your own dope, plant a man". There were others also.

I explained the situation, why the kid walked out, and said, "shame on you all".

This was in Plymouth Mass. I really thought we had grown beyond that.

sonofsuperman1983 · 2019-04-07T10:00:26+00:00

You’ll have to repot her. If we keep let this shit slide we will end up being told how to take, sit.

random13980 · 2019-04-07T11:08:06+00:00

Interesting uses for women: Printers, Staplers, Whores, and false rape accusations

igbadredditgood · 2019-04-07T11:46:16+00:00

your teacher should be sacked

MayonaiseH0B0 · 2019-04-07T14:15:32+00:00

I feel you here. I’m a guy taking speech pathology classes. It’s almost all women. One of my classes is called children and play. About the development of play methods in children

Nope!Might as well be called gender studies. The first class we debated the Gillette commercial. We’ve talked about children’s play very few times but when we do we get thru very little information because we just end up talking about how when such and such girl was little people told her she could play with a certain “boy toy”. The whole time Gurls are looking at me like it was ME who said this stuff.

I normally keep my opinions to myself because it’s definitely not worth getting a bad grade over an opinion I couldn’t get a fair argument in if I tried. My teacher literally calls on me to ask me what I think about certain issues these 25 girls have just been getting themselves worked up on for an hour. It doesn’t feel like I’m being asked for an honest opinion either. Just bated to make an argument or bow down and be judged accordingly.

Venomrod · 2019-04-07T10:56:55+00:00

Let me know what happens after you report her.

McGuyverDK · 2019-04-07T12:35:24+00:00

Break it.

frustr8tion · 2019-04-07T15:13:41+00:00

Aight do the same back. Make a big poster about uses for women. Don't sexualise it or add violence. Literaply just find ways to treat them as an object that are totally unacceptable. Stick it up in the room. If she gives you any shit bring up the mug. If she touches your poster, steal the mug. If she damages your poster, break the mug.

Or instead of trying to bring about actual equality you could just lie and say she raped you.

AtticusReznor · 2019-04-07T17:21:11+00:00

Inferiority complexes manifest themselves in many ways.

The mug is just another example.

Algoresball · 2019-04-07T20:03:55+00:00

Go to the principal

pauliogazzio · 2019-04-08T07:32:01+00:00

Make a cartoon called "interesting uses for a woman" make it as offensive as you want, and make the character look like your teacher, have an online company print it on a mug and switch it out when she's not looking

saikon_1485 · 2019-04-07T06:56:14+00:00

id just destroy it in front of her and when she gets mad id point out that i find it insulting to be viewed in such a way.

furchfur · 2019-04-07T09:16:29+00:00

Smash it and say you were insulted.

Then go to the press if they try to punish you.

Or just tell your dad to call the school.

Mythandros · 2019-04-07T13:31:51+00:00

I would file a complaint to the school board.

antilopes · 2019-04-08T05:30:05+00:00

See if your library has "101 uses for a dead cat".

If you want to get serious, take a petition from the class to the deputy principal. It would be handy to collect other incidents from this or other teachers to show it is not an isolated case of an unwise choice.
Each other incident should be adequately documented with teacher and preferably complainant's name, and a rough date.

If the document is to be made public it should not include the school name. The teachers, complainants and witnesses can be called T1,2,3 and C1, W1 etc. A separate sheet can give the actual name and email address for each codename.

A public shaming campaign is a different thing. If you want to do that too, make sure it is completely isolated from the official complaint.
