Marked down a letter grade for not using gender neutral language
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 15th, 2009 2:57 PM Author: alcoholic giraffe persian What the fuck? My last 1L grade came back significantly lower than my others so I had a talk with the professor about it. Apparently, she marked me down by a full letter grade for not using "gender neutral" language, whatever that means. The grade I actually earned was very good, but the revised grade is below median. I was seriously about to punch this feminazi in the face. What should I do about it though? It's really fucking me over. I would have otherwise been top quarter at GULC, but now I'm close to the median, so it's really, REALLY fucking me ITE. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1064205&forum_id=2#12510713) |

|
Date: August 15th, 2009 3:47 PM Author: alcoholic giraffe persian Look child, do you understand that in law school, professors do not grade on "stylistic preferences"? They read your exam, put a tick mark on it every time you write something good, then total the number of marks on your exam. Then the exams are ranked by the number of marks, and grades assigned accordingly. Law school exams are not a place to look for "good writing." In fact, the exams with the highest grades in a class like torts or contracts will often be atrociously written because it is otherwise impossible to hit all the issues in the time allotted. This is not like your high school English class. The only room for bias is that you are often likely to rack up more points if you parrot the ideological views of your professor, as expressed in class. On this particular exam, points were not a problem. I had enough points for an A. However, the professor went outside the normal grading system and gave me a B.

>> WTF is wrong with the word "firemen"? LIke 98% of "firefighters" are men. Such Bullshit.
stupid argument. i don't have a problem with male gendered nouns, but obviously, the demographics of a certain profession have nothing to do with the complaints of those who do. also, it's closer to 95%, which doesn't matter at all but shows that you're talking out of your ass.
>> You know, I always use him/her and shit like that, but enough of this shit...my textbooks are all sexist AGAINST men. Everytime they discuss a judge or doctor or lawyer it seems to be "she".
this is silly. by saying that textbooks that use "she" are sexist "AGAINST men," you're implying that use of gendered pronouns IS indicative of gender preference, and thus backing up the (ridiculous, in my opinion) assertion that using "he" is sexist. good job fortifying the argument against which this thread was based, idiot.
>> So not only have feminists created a society with 10 times higher divorce and illegitimacy rates,
i won't argue with this, but you know just as well as i do that you are VASTLY oversimplifying things. are there aspects of a gender-equal society that promote these things? of course. can you say that "feminists" have directly "created" these particular changes? no, unless you're a moron with no logical reasoning skills.
>> they also purposely punish students for ideological reasons.
yep! one poorly-described anecdote clearly demonstrates a fact about "feminists" as a collective entity! wow, you're so insightful! |

|
Date: August 15th, 2009 4:30 PM Author: spruce plaza degenerate i agree.
but nothing he's even said about this professor indicates that she's a rabid feminist. she's a woman who took off points for a stupid, unfair reason related to gender neutrality in writing, and he's on here bitching about how he's gonna "backstab" her when he "get[s] to the top" and "do everything [he] can to keep the old 'glass ceiling' in place."
again, i hate feminazi WOMEN'S POWER!!! cunts as much as anyone else. some women take feminism so far so that it no longer has to do with equality; it becomes about women's superiority. this is entirely counterproductive and stupid.
someone who's militantly anti-gendered pronouns may very well be a member of this group -- or they could just be a nit-picky professor. that's really not the issue here. |

|
Date: August 15th, 2009 4:37 PM Author: spruce plaza degenerate again, i have no problem with words like "firemen." i don't consider it "invalid" in the least.
people who do, however, probably feel that the female population is overlooked when words like this are used -- obviously, the size of that population that they feel is neglected is more or less irrelevant.
for the record, i think that arguing against words like "firemen" is stupid. all i'm saying in this thread is that the OP and anal beads are being complete idiots about the concept of "feminism." |
|
Date: August 15th, 2009 4:30 PM Author: Swashbuckling magical trust fund old irish cottage Oh no - 95% versus 98%! That changes everything, obviously.
My textbooks (and ask anyone else here, probably the same way) ARE biased. Some kind of fairness would indicate that if the politically-correct writers were after equality, the pronouns would use he and she about equally. They don't, and it should be very offensive to males, 50% of the law school population. This is why high school dykes like you should not argue with an actual law student about law school. I'm only wasting my time here because your stupidity needs a response.
Feminism and its associated ills (no-fault divorce, affirmative action in women's employment, etc.) created the situation whereby the things I mentioned happened. Feminism, directly AND indirectly, created the problem. YOu're just arguing semantics, because my facts are correct.
Next time, argue with someone at your own mental level...like maybe a 4th grader.

Date: August 15th, 2009 4:57 PM Author: crimson heaven Feminism in most forms is a destructive political grievance system that refuses to acknowledge innate traits in women. This refusal is symptomatic of irrational feminist behavior. OP highlighted an egregious example of feminist behavior, which was grounded in irrational feminist concerns.
Your replies throughout this thread demonstrate an irrationally positive attitude towards feminism. Fitting.
|
|
Date: August 15th, 2009 5:00 PM Author: spruce plaza degenerate i support "feminism" in the form of "gender equality in the workplace," not in the destructive forms that you described.
i don't support the professor's actions at all, and that's not the issue here. the OP's and JFAB's attitudes toward "feminism" are what i'm responding to. |
|
Date: August 15th, 2009 5:04 PM Author: crimson heaven Equal results or opportunity? Feminism foolishly seeks the former.
Feminism often professes intellectually dishonest ideas and dismisses the differences between men and women because acknowledging those differences undermines its silly ideal of equal results.
I think women should have every opportunity in the world. I also think, women being women, they won't take many of them. Feminists blame the world for this when they should be blaming the nature of women. |

Let's see women who teach Con Law at GULC:

Wow, doing this little search, I realize how fucking many of GULC's female professors are involved in "feminist theory", "gender and the law" or "domestic violence" bullshit. In any normal society, these women would be secretaries at best. Fucking worthless how much this profession has dropped.

Date: August 15th, 2009 4:32 PM Author: pale boyish hominid The people calling this flame obviously haven't spent much time around female law professors and law students. This is how they are, and I've made a name for myself here by railing against them.
The OP's situation is all too common unfortunately. What is extremely unusual about it is that the professor appears to have done it blatantly and obviously. Generally when a feminazi does this, she will just mark down less points than the exam should have earned. I've seen this happen firsthand (things like me receiving one point for each of a tort's four elements, whereas my friend received one point total for listing the four elements. His points were systematically reduced that way). |
|
Date: August 15th, 2009 4:50 PM Author: Swashbuckling magical trust fund old irish cottage Why did she mark him with fewer points? Seriously, if a professor did this to me, she'd have her house burned down.
P.S. my best grade 1L year was from a lesbian feminist professor. Hypos were specific though, so no place to do gender-neutral shit. |

He was more of an alpha frat d00d who was not at all reserved about sharing his opinions in class. Nothing was ever done because the grading was "blind" supposedly, but there was obvious foul play involved. I had the opportunity to read both my exam and his exam very closely. His was equal to or maybe slightly better than mine, applying the way the prof awarded points to my exam. I got an A-, he got a B-.
