Vice-chancellor: female students are 'a perk'

[NotanOtter]

ha ha ha

only i for one aint laughing

where's Dittany when you need her?

ewww hully gully

those women need a green purrple and white scarf ramming down their throats

we fought for this

"But he added that some female students still ?fantasise?."

In his dreams

about being outa there

Did anyone see Giles Coren in the Times about this yesterday? Link here

It's not just the fact that the professor in question is a bit old and ugly. That comes to us all in the end.

It's the fact of treating women students as fodder for his masturbatory fantasies that's repulsive.

Apparently he was 'pullulating the transgressive discourse'. Gotta love that as an excuse.

Being in possession of a large vocabulary doesn't make university professors less physically or spiritually repulsive.

Discuss

Pullulate means to spread, doesn't it? I think he's pullulating crap personally.

Brownie point, yes. I had to look it up.

Must admit I thought that about Buckingham too...

Coren's article isn't much better, is it? Esp. in its apparent assumption that all academic staff are male (or does he really believe that women go into academia because they are furious that they didn't screw enough people the first time around?)

And as for this faux-modesty about only shagging five women at uni... yuk. Mind you, I do just generally dislike him.

Yes I agree with you about Coren - bit repulsive. There are two things I liked about Coren's article though.

The first was that Coren unpicked the masturbatory fantasy bit nicely, although he didn't actually go all the way with that (s'cuse bad pun). He didn't unpick the male vanity of the professor who seriously thinks that nubile 19/20 year olds are flaunting their curves at him. The young'uns are almost certainly blissfully sexually unaware of him, aren't they?

The second thing I liked was the unintentional irony when Coren says "?Hang on, let?s be honest about this, how different is he from me??" Because he then tries to prove that he is entirely unlike the professor, but only actually proves how he is exactly like the professor.

Incoherent, sorry. The only point of interest in Coren or the Nutty Professor, is the ways in which male vanity can manifest itself.

Giles Coren just saw another excuse to tell us how very, very clever he is I reckon. It's astonishing how often he manages to drop his academic achievements into his column, and, more oddly, his restaurant reviews.

Ah right, I see. I'm rubbish at lit crit

I honestly never found any of my male lecturers/profs in the slightest bit attractive when I was at Uni. I thought some of them were great teachers, but that really was the extent of it.

Giles Cohen, for example, is a twat.

Coren

Well that's no good Blackduck. It will never show up in a Google vanity search.

Except for vanity searches conducted by poor, blameless Giles Cohen.

Just for Giles Coren's vanity search, I heartily endorse Blackduck's POV, which was that:

Giles Coren, for example, is a twat.

Giles Coren, for example, is a twat

Sorry Giles Cohen (whoever you are.....)

Actually, I am off to lunch with a bunch of academics (including dp) I could raise this topic - what do you reckon....

"I solved the problem in a different way, in the end, by looking up all the girls I had fancied at university and sleeping with them now, ten years later, ticking them off retrospectively"

Ooooh yeah Giles Coren, you're such a feminist.

Sorry, but I got a first AND slept with manu boys including ugly lecturers, as did several of my peers. Some people can multi-task.

MANY boys

not manu

didn't meet him

"The fault lies with the females"

WTF. I absolutely hate it when people call women 'females' in this kind of context. What an arse.

"she will flaunt you her curves. Which you should admire daily to spice up your sex, nightly, with the wife"

Urrgghhhhh

And some us saw fit to sleep with everyone BEFORE we went to university

Twat.

Blackduck:

Heh, when you Google Giles Cohen, it simply refuses to believe that you don't mean Giles Coren.

I'm all shocked at MP shagging her lecturers. I might have to have a bit of a sit down.

Do, Blackduck. I want to find out how many lecturers think that the girls are flaunting their curves at THEM and ONLY THEM. Call it unscientific research.

I never! I made a point only to shag emotionally immature, acne-ridden egotists with PE issues. And only two of them.

LOL at Policy (sorry, meant MP). I too googled Giles Cohen and was similarly shocked. However I did find a Giles Cohen. He wrote a review on Amazon which said this:

"I am Giles Cohen of Moldova. I have seen this film many times and it has become quite popular in my nation. I would like to agree with all who believe that Joe Wandell is very great in this film and shall perhaps be the next great star of Moldovan cinema!"

Which made me giggle for some Borat-related reason. He's a MUCH better writer than Giles COren, though, isn't he?
