>She thinks that like therapy, hat the teaching process can be charged with eroticism, and the professors should channel that impulse towards learning. Man, I've been taking the wrong courses!

I need to take that too! Men have rights too!

Yeah, that should be clearly marked in the syllabus, so people who don't want an "erotic" class can take something else.

It's a massive violation.

> In college, I was with a group of white men and the topic of dating came up. One of them mentioned he wouldn’t date a black woman. To my shock, the rest of the group agreed with him. We say that nobody is entitled to a relationship with someone else, but I was still disgusted. Are they entitled to have this preference, when it comes to something as personal as dating and sex?

What the Hell is this? Of course they're "entitled" to their own bodies. What the Hell does she think, that she should be able to force them to have sex with her just because they're White and she's Black? She's a goddamned incel, treating others like props for her gratification.

Plus, since this apparently needs to be said, defending a rapist makes you a horrible person. Splitting hairs about what is and isn't rape is defending a rapist.

Vouched for this because I don't see any reason why this was flagged. Sorry if I overlooked something.

I guess some people are uncomfortable with the issues raised in the article. Alternative explanation: some users are trigger-happy and flag an article based on the headline before they have a chance to read it. ~Its un-flagged by now~, and I vouched too BTW...

Its a good article and a balanced discussion about feminism would be very nice to have here...
