:50:00
You're hurt. You're angry.
:50:02
I think your anger
is betraying you...
:50:04
down a path
which helps no one.
:50:07
I don't care what you think.
:50:08
You don't?
But you talk of rights.
:50:11
Don't you see?
I have rights, too.
:50:14
I have a house,
part of the real world...
:50:16
and the tenure committee.
Good men and true.
:50:19
- Professor...
- Please.
:50:21
Also part of that world.
You understand?
:50:24
This is my life.
I'm not a boogie man.
:50:26
I don't stand for something...
:50:28
Professor,
I came here as a favor...
:50:31
at your personal request.
:50:32
Perhaps I should not
have done so...
:50:33
but I did on my behalf
and on behalf of my group.
:50:37
And you speak of
the tenure committee...
:50:38
one of whose members
is a woman...
:50:40
and though you might
call it good fun...
:50:42
or an historical phrase
or an oversight...
:50:45
to refer to the committee
as good men and true...
:50:48
it is a demeaning remark.
:50:50
It is a sexist remark...
:50:52
and to overlook it is
to countenance continuation...
:50:55
of that method of thought.
:50:56
- It's a remark...
- Oh, come on!
:50:59
Come on! Sufficient
to deprive a family...
:51:02
Sufficient?
:51:03
Sufficient, yes.
It is a fact.
:51:06
And that story
which I quote...
:51:07
is vile and classist
and manipulative...
:51:09
and pornographic...
:51:11
It's pornographic?
:51:12
What gives you the right
to speak to a woman...
:51:18
Yes, I'm sorry.
:51:20
I'm sorry
you feel yourself empowered.
:51:22
You say so yourself...
:51:24
to strut, to posture,
to perform.
:51:27
You say that higher education
is a joke...
:51:30
and treat it as such.
:51:31
You treat it as such
and confess to a taste...
:51:34
to play the patriarch
in your class...
:51:37
to grant this, to deny that...
:51:39
to embrace your students.
:51:41
How can you assert?
How can you stand there?
:51:43
How can you deny it?
You did it to me here.
:51:48
You did. You confess.
:51:49
You love the power...
:51:50
to deviate, to invent,
to transgress...
:51:53
to transgress whatever norms
have been established for us.
:51:56
And you think it's charming
to question in yourself...
:51:59
this taste to mock and destroy.
