@fosterempathy Absolutely. I also see it in classrooms, but have to be diplomatic. I actually just avoid the issue as much as possible because this idea is so widespread among undergrad guys, and you cannot address it without bollixing both the class and your prof feedback.Permalink On twitter.com

@fosterempathy I don't permit anti-feminist ranting in my class, and I always say, "I don't think that's really a realistic description of reality," but I follow up with redirecting them to discussing shared problems faced by both men and women.Permalink On twitter.com

@fosterempathy But I am deeply worried about antifeminist backlash here, though. I honestly think the virulence with which it spreads means it's only a matter of time before Korea sees incidents like this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_Polytechnique_massacre (It's unlikely guns will be involved, but...)Permalink On twitter.com

@fosterempathy I've been saying this since about 2011. The universities where I've worked in Korea all have lacked any policy or guidelines for when a student exhibits worrying or threatening behavior. I've said over and over, "It's not a question of if, it's a question of when they act out."On twitter.com

@fosterempathy "They" meaning some random, very ill individual, mind you. It only takes one. But nobody's listened to me. IT can't happen here. (Just like it couldn't happen in Montreal.) And then, when it did, it was imitated: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concordia_University_massacrePermalink On twitter.com

@fosterempathy By the time I got to Concordia, they had an explicit system and guidelines for reporting/handling a student, prof, or staff in apparent mental distress, or potentially dangerous to others or themselves. But .ca unis learned the hard way. So will .kr unis, I guess. Sigh.Permalink On twitter.com
