Remind me never to apply for a job at Buckingham University (as if I would)

[strange_complex]

Because its vice-chancellor thinks it is OK to publish an article like this one (scroll down to the 'LUST' section) about sexual relationships between (female) students and (male) staff at Universities, which includes such choice phrases as these:

"Equally, the universities are where the male scholars and the female acolytes are."

So, no female scholars, then? All the women at University are there purely to enable men, and possibly drink admiringly from the founts of male knowledge?

"The fault lies with the females"

Like everything, of course!

And, worst of all in my view:

"Normal girls - more interested in abs than in labs, more interested in pecs than specs, more interested in triceps than tripos - will abjure their lecturers for the company of their peers"

I think I would like to go and vomit now. What a wanker!

Thankfully, there are a lot of people in the comments thread expressing their displeasure - though, as always, also a few saying that it is 'only a joke' (including the author). I'm personally hoping that the University see fit to revise his contract of employment in the light of this.

...only a joke?

Only a joke?

I thought that excuse had gone out with the dinosaurs. It's not as if the topic didn't give plenty of scope for gender-equal lustful distraction within the academy.

Hmmm. One wonders if somebody's petard has been deliberately hoisted.
