"White men are the problem" prof still has job even after confession of criminal impersonation on dating site
Story here. Think a man would still have a job by now if the sexes/ethnicities were reversed? Not a chance. Excerpt:
"The controversial Boston University professor who said white men were 'the problem' for America's colleges and told a rape victim to 'go cry somewhere' also set up a fake account on an adult dating site depicting another woman, it has been revealed.
Saida Grundy, who has been under intense scrutiny following a string of controversial comments on social media, set up the profile on Fling.com, which is used for casual sex, because she was 'jealous' of the victim.
The black sociology professor, who will start her role at the university on July 1, set up the page pretending to be a woman who was dating one of her ex-boyfriends.
In December 2007, while studying at the University of Michigan, she stole photos of the woman from the man's email account and then posted them online.
The victim from Charlotte, North Carolina, discovered the account in June, 2008, and called police in Ann Arbor, Boston.com reported.
As a result, Grundy was charged with felony counts of identity theft and using computers to commit a crime.
She was also charged with a misdemeanor count of malicious use of a telecommunications service.
In the end she struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor in exchange for the felony charges being dropped.
In a statement to the site, she said: 'When this incident occurred I was 24, and exercised the poor judgment of a heartbroken 24 year old.
'I took accountability then as I do now. I hold true to the lessons learned, and my life has since moved on.'"

She's a 2 for the price of one, both minority and woman, so she pretty much has a job for life.
on the other hand
If she does keep the job...
she will NEVER EVER again be able to condemn patriarchy and male centered misogyny, can she?
She will try, of course. And I assume that the feminist system will endeavor to protect her views... but...
The moment she does, she will be reminded of her perverse emails.
Game over for her. She is no longer an academic... she is a pseudo-intellectual (if that). Clearly, her home is the Department of Women's Studies.
fire with fire
because i am female, i can likely get by with saying this, whereas a bloke could not.
but, i really love the way so many women and minorities truly believe that the way to fight sexism and racism is to use their own sexism and racism to fight racism and sexism.
...i mean... how f***king silly is that?
while we're at it let's start putting out house fires with flamethrowers. pretty much the same mentality, i rather think.
