Re: Wells Report on Dolphins locker room: Incognito, others in 'pattern of harrassmen
I wouldn't call it passive aggressive, rather, it was straight up aggressive . But yeah, it was self destructive to some degree as I only ended up with a B in the class.
I have work really hard to empathize with why anyone would find the phrase "Ladies and Gentlemen" sexist.... but I believe it has to do with the constraints society expected of a "ladies" behavior and the consequences of women that strayed outside these expectations.
What you experienced is hardly unique in college life.. "ladies and gentlemen" has worked itself into being categorized as un-pc in many colleges... but like every corrective movement in socuety.. there are many over corrections.
While I applaud original thinking and the people that challenge the system.. no matter how "right" your defense of what I also consider to be an innocuous phrase.. your reply to your professors reaction was simply self-destructive, potentially passive aggressive and obstinant.
No matter the strength of truth on your side.. telling anyone that they are hypersensitive and irrational just lost you the argument.
