Canada: Prof accused of harassing female students for being straight

Article here. Excerpt:

'The lesbian academic who accused Toronto free speech advocate Jordan Peterson of hate speech taught a course full of “misandry,” or hatred of men, according to a former student.

The student who took a fourth-year course at the University of British Columbia from Mary K. Bryson in 1991 told National Post columnist Christie Blatchford she had taken other women’s studies courses but never been in a class “where misandry was taught to you.”

Bryson, a senior associate dean and professor of education at the University of British Columbia, was one of two people brought in for a forum this month at the University of Toronto to challenge psychology professor Jordan Peterson’s claims that federal and provincial human rights legislation and U of T anti-discrimination measures were dangerous attacks on free speech.

The other opponent to Peterson’s actions confined herself to trying to prove that Bill C-16, which would protect transgender and gender-fluid persons from hate speech, was a reasonable measure. But Bryson engaged in ad hominem attacks on Peterson for using his privileged position to attack “the precarious minority” of “transgender and gender-fluid’ persons. He did this, she said with assertions that had never been submitted to the scrutiny of “peer reviewed journals,” and was therefore “in total dereliction of his academic duty.”'
