Narcissism at the podium

O what a noble university is here o’erthrown.

That’s DOCTOR Alexandra Hardwick to you. Yes he’s a guy.

(Also why do they put a glass of water right next to the laptop? I’d bump into it 4 seconds in.)

    It’s special trans water next to a trans laptop so neither can harm the other; one must always be wary in case the trans water gets swapped out for TERF water which is wet, makes other things wet, and is apt to colonise anything it touches.

    The speaker is wearing a spiked collar, chains and padlocks. Why the fuck is he wearing this at an academic setting? I’ve no problem with him being into kink, or styling himself that way, but this is not appropriate. Imagine a woman – an actual woman – turning up to work as university lecturer in this shit.

    Oh but trans, therefore do whatever you want all the time.

    LOL there should be a little shelf under the top of the podium where you can put your water.

    That’s one of the things that gets me every time, when a man does these things in an academic/’respectable’ situation – like the guy on a panel who literally stood up and showed his bare ass to the audience – THIS IS HOW WE KNOW EVERYONE KNOWS THEY’RE NOT WOMEN.

    As someone who spent a lot of time in these spaces not so long ago I like to remind myself that ‘Oxbridge’ has by no means always had the reputation it currently has, and has by no means always deserved it.
