I'm with you on this one. Mayer could have been great (maybe), but chose to be commercial. He made his bed and now he can lie in it.

The paper is about teacher bias, not stereotype threat: "In this paper, we estimate the effect of primary school teachers' gender biases on boys' and girls' academic achievements during middle and high school and on the choice of advanced level courses in math and sciences during high school. For identification, we…
They didn't check a box to indicate their gender. One examiner knew their names, the other did not. This isn't about stereotype threat. It's just about stereotypes.

Mayer is the douchiest of the douches. Has he taken home a Wacky award yet? He's a shoe-in.
I try to avoid listening to Tori Amos when there's work to do because I will fall into the rabbit hole and do nothing else but listen, emerge several days later hungry, smelly and disoriented with no idea about where the time went.

Damn. It really is disturbing to see how invested people are in the "right" of professors to fuck undergrads. This right is apparently so sacred that the university shouldn't even attempt to enact a policy which would (effectively) merely discourage such relationships. I guess the welfare of students goes right out…
The guys who try to defend their "right" to fuck their students demonstrate why the dynamic is just so creepy.
Boundaries can be a nice, reassuring thing.
But if the relationship never becomes a problem, who is going to find out?
I was raised by two parents who both had so much baggage around the religions they were brought up in (because of religious persecution in the 20th century) that they hid their religious beliefs and were always really wary and evasive about people asking questions. To this day, I don't even know what they each…
In fairness, that actor shaved his chest to prepare for the role.
