I guess his next thing will be that Black people need to be waitresses, maids, shoe shine boys [sic] and not bother with education beyond high school. Asians can stick to laundry and nail salons, and Hispanics/Latinos can pick crops and do yard work.
When lesser beings aspire above the station where God put them, they inevitably fail to achieve and it just makes them uppity and hard to control. That’s the problem with society today, by damn! There is a Natural Order of Things (and People) and it’s up to White Men to make sure everything stays in its rightful place.
Damn! I think I just wrote the Republican Party Platform.
Medicated? I get why an ignorant bigot like that would consider independent women to be “meddlesome and quarrelsome”, they call him out on his bullshit and try to put a stop to it, but medicated?
At least in parts of the Jim Crow South, Black “high schools” stopped at the 11th grade, thus preventing “them” from receiving a diploma and possibly going on to higher education and uppityness. This would no doubt appeal to Yenor and his ilk — as would a return to the 1950’s Catholic concept of girl’s high schools, where they could be taught womanly skills without risking their purity by association with boys.
I can guarantee you that SunWife (BS & MS in EE + 25 years experience in her field) knows a hell of a lot more about what it takes to be an engineer than some two-bit poli sci professor at some freshwater school who probably doesn’t know a sine from an integral.
I’m sure Yenor has tenure, but I hope he likes Boise State and cheese trays, because he’s gonna be at the former for the rest of his career and doing nothing more in his department than ordering the latter for every symposium, talk and recruiting visit from now until emeritus status.
I didn’t think about the pill, that’s a good suggestion. A woman on the pill can make her own reproductive choices, and I’m sure a woman making her own choices would be considered quarrelsome to that guy.
This is just so incredibly sick. Yenor has a late predecessor in Montreal named Marc Lepine. He was the shooter who killed 14 female engineering students because they were, in his words, “feminists”, in Dec 1989.
I’ve been a mechanical engineer for nearly 15 years, and I’ve been fortunate to have only encountered one guy who was this vocal about women in engineering (or women near any tools that aren’t kitchen implements; he threw a tantrum one year at a Christmas luncheon when the nice receptionist lady won a tool set in the raffle).
And sadly, I think this Yenor fella has more than tenure; some of the comments on the university’s Facebook page indicate that he’s some kind of department head. Given that most engineering programs include a requirement for some humanities courses, he’s in a position to academically harm female students.
When my wife was in school, she had a Saturday exam for Chem 101 or something. Her professor condescendingly asked her whether she had other things to do on a fine Saturday morning. She replied, “Yes I do, but this is when you scheduled the exam, so here we are.”
Doctor Oz, who lives in New Jersey and used his sister’s Pennsylvania address to register to vote, has announced that he’s running for the Senate from Pennsylvania as a “conservative Republican”. I wonder how many people who would vote for a conservative Republican will vote for a guy named Mehmet.
