..We've had class discussions where he's said things like he thinks it's ok to beat up your wife. :yucky:

OK I was all set to start thinking of some snarky thing you could do, like have all the women in the class arrange their own visible laptop screens to contain something or other, but no, don't do anything like that. Ignore him, stay way away from him, do not let him know where you live, and if you can do so, try to change to a different class.

Even if what they used to call the "drop add" period has elapsed, it might be possible for those rules to be bent if several ladies from the class discussed the situation, in confidence, with their advisors...

Ignoring sexual harrassment should NEVER be an option. There is always someone you can go talk to, such as your professor or an adviser. Hand the duty of talking the guy over to someone else, but don't just let this ******* get away with this stuff.

Oh I'm not suggesting they ignore the harrassment, I'm suggesting they make every effort to remove themselves from it and inform their advisors of the situation - while ignoring the individual who is doing the harrassing, since the poster also gives us an indication that his views on domestic violence suggest that it would be prudent to bat the ball into the court of the "authorities."

And of course, if that proves ineffective, revisit the question, and the collective brainpower of classmates and "PFistas" will suggest a tempting array of Plan Bs.

It would definitely be harrassment in the workplace. Of course, anyone offended at work would be expected to bring it up to the EEO officer who takes care of such things. The EEO officer would go talk to the person and if it wasn't resolved, a case would be filed. (We just had a harrassment talk at our last staff meeting.) Probably the same thing at school, too.

Thanks for all of the advice and opinions. I actually spoke to one of my classmate today, that class was not today, she said before class we should go to the professor's office and talk. Maybe we'll try to get the other girls, too.

Some guy once got in trouble for watching porn on his laptop on a plane. Isn't that the same thing?

Yes, it's his laptop but other people can see it and it might make them uncomfortable.

You could say, "He's obviously a heterosexual guy, so it's almost expected that he'd have a scantally clad (or in this case a birthday suit clad) woman on his desktop." But there's a difference between having a picture like that on his desktop and displaying it and angling it so people can see it and making facial expressions.


On the same note, there was a possible issue of people watching inappropriate things on the DVD player in their SUV. To me, that's different because that's in someone's car. That's not in a classroom or in the cabin of an airplane.

Question: Was she posed tastefully or was it obvious it came from a porn magazine?

This is totally irrelevent. A class room is inapproprtiate & you need to report him to the prof. Let the school handle it. I used to be an professor, this a$$ would find himself out of my class -- forever! :cursing:
If it is ignored, lord know what could happen in the future with this jerk. Their like criminals, if someone doesn't stop them they only get worse.

This is classic sexual harassment. It was inappropriate and unwelcome. He needs to be reported. Talk to the professor or the department head or the dean of students. At the very least this idiot needs a wake up call.

What I meant was, No, it is never acceptable for him to be flashing it around, but there's a difference between a topless Maxim Magazine model and a naked spread-eagled chick from Hustler.
