[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s an important read for many on DCUM — don’t be like the moms he references.  Let your college kids figure stuff out on their own!

OP, are you a woman? You shoud be ashamed of yourself if you are. We have got to take the country and our lives back from these sexist, mysoginist pigs. What a hateful, horrible man. If my kid were at Purdue (he's not, he's at a top 10 university, t thankfully), I would not pay another dime of tuition until this man releases a apology. Shameful.[/quote]

Are you joking? Not OP, but not very impressed by your argument. I love for people to express their opionons. That is what makes us great! It is name calling as a retort that will tear us apart as a society. Just because you don't have the skills to argue with this man, doesn't make him all the names you called him.

Build a logical argument, consider the other side, consider where he might be correct, then rebuttal. Seriously, name calling is for kids, not smart adults.[/quote]

Well, if I were a major university president presumably with a spouse at home handling every single domestic detail of my life and multiple women assisting me in the workplace, I would take the time to put my high intelligence to use to write a thoughtful well-written, craftfully argued piece explaining why is his "op ed" was beyond short-sighted. As it is, I am working on a Saturday morning to make up for the many hours of work I missed this week attending to mandatory school activities for my kids, while the dads literally were sitting on the sidelines. Just becuse he has a few examples of women not letting go and simply annoying him does not make him correct. If I were a tuition-paying parent at Purdue, I would question why I was contributing to an overpriced salary spending his time publicly dumping on the mothers of his students. [/quote]
