Hi all! Been a lurker/commenter here for quite a while under a different user name, but I've decided to create a new account with less identifying information so that I can be more active in FDS.
The reason I decided this today was because of this image, which has been shared across Reddit a lot today. (To be honest, I don't know why this image, and not the shedload of other misogyny I've seen on this site, made the difference. Must be the straw that broke the camel's back.)
The background: a college professor shared his screen with a class during a lecture, forgetting that he'd saved "busty college girl" porn as a bookmark (not a tab, a BOOKMARK) on his computer and that it would show up to everyone in the class. Students took screenshots and shared, and he later resigned (most likely fired).
What got me was the Reddit reaction. Comment after comment saying it was over-the-top, he just made a small mistake, EVERYONE watches porn, who cares if it makes some people uncomfortable if he's a good professor (after all, you choose whether to be uncomfortable). It's not right that students shared the image, you can't trust anyone these days! They should have been considerate about the fact they'd be getting him into trouble. People pointed to a student petition calling for his reinstatement as evidence that there wasn't an issue. I wonder what proportion of people signing that were young women ...
A handful of reasonable folks (including a male college professor) pointed out why you can't have someone who is in a position of authority making it public that he masturbates to a demographic of people he has power over, and that it would be wrong to expect female students to continue being taught by him after this incident. They got downvoted to oblivion. It's not FAIR to the professor! If those female students don't like it, they should never talk to a man again because ALL men find college students attractive! Professors are sexual beings too and it should be expected that this happens! I couldn't believe the absolute lack of any empathy for the female students who would be expected to go to tutorials with this man knowing that after hours - hey, maybe immediately after they leave the room! - he visits his SAVED porn video so he can fantasise about them.
I don't know what else to say really. I was disgusted. At least I've had a reminder to vet for better content. (Although Reddit has started showing me things in subs I don't follow, which is the actual reason I saw this image. Thanks Reddit.)
