"if they disagree with me" is not the same as "if they won't vote for someone just because they are a woman".

You just keep lying and lying.
Not sure that's relevant, given the circumstances. He is assuming that he is the sole arbiter of what a person's motive for choosing not to cast a vote for Giggles might be, which is a specious assumption to begin with. Not sure that's a foundation on which to build your argument, but you should proceed as you see fit, I suppose.
JFC, you're just making shit up now. He said nothing about "the only reason to vote for Trump or against Harris is because she is a woman". He didn't assume anything.

What he said: "There are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don't think females are smart enough to be president." That is a 100% true statement. There are absolutely are going to be SOME males who vote against Harris solely because she is a woman.
And you know that how? Are you a mind reader now?

Let me help if anyone does care.

His name is Phil Lowcock (I knew him in the 80s) and he's been "placed on leave".

If you care to read about it....

His name is irrelevant and we have already seen the video in full so I have the full context of what he said so the "USA 2024 in a nutshell" is probably unnecessary and rude.
Just for the sake of responding and engaging you in banter/dialogue/debate/whatever you want to call it and meaning no disrespect......
His name is irrelevant TO YOU. Ok. I accept that. It's not irrelevant TO ME. Forgetting those who just want to shit on the guy on social media, more importantly, my guess is it's not irrelevant to the KU alum who have a major problem with what he said and donate money to school. For the record, I cringed a bit but I didn't have a major problem with what he said, I don't feel he should be fired for it.
Yes, "we" have seen THE VIDEO in full and you have the full context of what he said but I don't have what he said before the video starts to base my full opinion on the entire context of his lecture.
MY saying 2024 in a nutshell can (and probably does) have an entirely different meaning to ME than what YOU interpreted it to mean. "Unnecessary" to YOU. Ok. Understood. I felt it was necessary for me to say for my own reasons and purposes.
"rude"? Perhaps, and if I offended you by saying it, you have my sincere apology.
I won't elaborate and bore you with my personal issues with social media but I think you and others can tell that I am obviously frustrated and aggravated.
Anyways..... Moving on.......

It’s like the four year-old trying to talk with people at the grownup’s table. You embarrass yourself and don’t even see it.

LOL! Can't go wrong with IASIP references. Overlander also performs a thorough ocular patdown every time he enters the room. Stay out of his peripheral.

My God, you're really reaching now. So very, very sad.

I say again, leave me alone and I'll leave you alone; keep taking shots at me, and you'll keep getting more of the same.

Yup. Responding to your response. Stop and I'll stop. Passive aggressive bullying is still bullying, and I'm not putting up with it.

You cannot be serious. Trump is as fake of a strong man as you can be.

I looked it up about four hours ago. Already scrubbed from KU's website. Hammered roundly on RatemyProfessor.com to boot. Not his best day, I'm certain.
So you have read the facts was we know them. You have looked him up online. You have seen the short clip of video. As you said, not his best day, might even be his worst day.

Honest question, if you are a department head and this guy works for you what is your next step? Do you terminate immediately or let the process take its course? Something else in between?

The R political powers in KS will want his head on a spike and the national trolls will want him to made an example of as soon as possible. The pressure on his supervisor is going to be heavy and relentless until he is gone. Jobs and funding are going to be threatened. The day will get worse as it drags on.

Personally, I’m sympathetic to his situation. It looked like he was riffing in class and got carried away. It happens. To his credit, he walked it back immediately and tried to do damage control.

Unfortunately, we live in the social media age, and the blowback for him and for the institution will be enormous. Were we not a month out from a Presidential election, it might be a tempest in a teapot. But, given the circumstances, that’s unlikely.

If I recall correctly, he is also just a lecturer, so he is unprotected by tenure or even faculty status. Were I his department Chair, I’d advocate for him, suggesting a formal apology, some training on classroom comportment, and a suspension for the last half of the semester with a return to full duty in January.

I doubt any of that will happen. I think he is probably done at KU, and, given his age, perhaps in academia. I say that with no joy or satisfaction. It is a shame and I wish it were not so.
