The most obvious problem with it is that he used an official classroom forum to dispense dating advice specifically to his students. Students who were just there to learn couldn't really avoid it.
The student asking for the advice probably shouldn't have been doing it on that platform either.
But due to the Professor's unprofessional remarks, what could have been a friendly and valuable teaching opportunity about workplace norms in the US instead turned into a gross objectification of a section of the students.
- anon291 3y agoSaying your dating prospects are likely to be better outside berkeley and the bay area is not an 'objectification' of women. Porn is objectifying (which I'm guessing Berkeley has no issue with, but what do I know). Dating advice is not. Oh goodness, what have we come to. Topsy turvy world, truly.
- marshray 3y agoThat's not all he said. Also, look up the meaning of the word 'prospect' before claiming it couldn't possibly be 'objectification'.
- anon291 3y agoprospect Something expected; a possibility Chances. Financial expectations, especially of success. I'm confused what is objectifying about that. You think the term 'marriage prospect' is objectifying?
