This story is more than it appears.
This is how this woman describes herself:
militant anthropologist against the corporatocracy
Her twitter posts are available online. This is absolutely a publicity stunt.
In her writings about the incident, she says that her baby was crawling on the floor at one point, and a male student said, "Professor, your baby has a paper clip in his mouth." Because the baby is in fact a girl, she describes this incident as some sort of gender bias attack. I had lots of professors like this in college in the early '90's during the height of politically correct movement in the US. (all sex is rape, women being spelled "womyn", raging lectures about the white male power structure, disinfranchisement of practically everyone....) makes me tired thinking about it, and I'm actually a rather liberal person. But not the type that goes to this extreme, because I do not come from the kind of priviledge that usually fosters the guilt to make one so radicalized and full of self loathing for their white skin while at the same time proclaiming downtrodden status for having a vagina. I just got really tired again. I don't think I miss being in college at all anymore.
