“The feedback from my professor was ‘You’re not smart enough to have written this.’”
"I had an engineering professor who was notorious for being sexist. He was adamant that women did not belong in engineering and would purposely fail every female in any of his classes. He would blatantly ignore female students in class and during office hours when they would try and ask questions. The class I was in was over 60% female, and every single one of us was given a failing grade.
"She also made me make up an hour of class that I missed when I got a call from my dad telling me that my grandmother wasn't going to live through the afternoon.""I suffer from two autoimmune diseases with fairly debilitating flare-ups from time to time. I am studying social care in college and receiving support from the disability office, which my lecturers have been informed of. At the start of the semester, I explained very politely.
"And that she 'likes it when men tell her she looks good,' so it’s not a big deal. It was so off-putting, and after that, I didn’t trust anything she said.""I had a male statistics professor ask me why I was taking his class and what I was majoring in. I told him neuroscience, and he then said, 'Why take something so hard? You're pretty and could do other things.'""I was 19 and didn’t know how to react.
"I tried to explain that I obviously hadn’t known I needed to leave early and it was an emergency, but he didn’t care. All the students hated him.""During finals week of my last semester, I came down with the flu. It was a particularly bad strain that year, and I was very, very sick. I had a constant 102- to 103-degree fever. I couldn't even keep water down, and my entire body hurt. The doctors had to give me anti-nausea pills so that I could hydrate. It was bad.
