quote:

Long time lurker, first time poster, sorry if this is poo. I got a little angry while writing this.

I used to work at a summer camp for the children of wealthy faculty and alumni of my university. I was a home room monitor, which basically meant I spent all day with the same set of kids (ages 6-9, plus one 4 year old) as well as taught their first, middle, and final class of the day (reading, crafts, and music).

I had a horrible coworker (Whom we will call Angel) who taught their mathematics class which they took after mine. Because she had worked at the department a few months longer than I, Angel assumed that she had seniority over me and could do whatever the hell she wanted. My fiancé, who worked as the nurse/PE coach for the camp had previously had a run-in with Angel. Apparently she had hit on him, he turned her down, and she reported him to the supervisor for "inappropriate conduct." The supervisor, who was a rather close friend of ours wasn't having any of it, and warned me that Angel was manipulative.

Anyway, Angel had a terrible habit of running over into my second class period, mainly because hers was the shortest of the day (it was 45 minutes, as opposed to the hour fifteen mine had, and was rather bitter about it.

On this particular day, my kids were being awful in the morning, so I was flustered. She, as usual, had decided that she wanted to run over into MY class period again. So, as soon as clock signaled the end of class, I knocked on the door. The kids, knowing it as a signal to get ready to leave headed for the door. Angel proceeded to yell at the students to sit down, because she dismissed them and not me.

So I replied that she was running into my class period. (I was being polite at this point.) So the. Angel, turned to me and yelled "YOU DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO. I AM SUPERIOR TO YOU, AND YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME. SO YOU CAN LEAVE AND COME BACK IN 15 minutes." The kids became very silent, and I was In shock. One of the first rules they tell is is to be civil in front of the kids. I was actually quite surprised that they children got out of their desks and followed me out the door, despite her yelling and storming after us. She tried to pull me back by my arm, but because she only weight 90 pounds, of course her efforts were futile.

As we walked to the building (which was across the campus) the kids were surprised because of the way I had handled the situation. Their comments were: "Man, Miss BathMurrayCantoo! You were so calm. I would have punched her." "You should have roundhouse kicked her like Chuck Norris!" And my favorite little 9year old looked up at me and quietly responded: "Miss Angel is a bitch."

Angel had called the supervisor, of course, who told her to get over it. So she called the superintendent who came to observe the classes the following day. My kids, ever the loyal little pains in the butt, were absolutely perfect in my first class. As we walked to Angel's room, one of my boys whispered "Don't worry, Miss. We have your back." I dropped them off at Angel's room with the superintendent, where they were greeted with cookies, fingerpaints, and pie charts for mathematics (manipulative bitch) and walked back to my classroom across campus to eat and prep for my lesson. It takes 15 minutes to get there, and as soon as I walk in, my walkie-talkie let out a distress signal. I bolted out the door and got back to the math building in record time. I was welcomed with the sight of 20 screaming kids, fingerpaints and cookies all over the floor and wall, a crying Angel, and a distressed looking superintendent.

"Handle this!" He pulled me into the door, and the chaos stopped. The children retrieved their things, and lined up at the door quietly. Angel was asked to stay behind with the superintendent, while I escorted my kids to my classroom, and proceeded to have pleasant lesson.
The superintendent came to my classroom just as we were preparing for lunch, and informed me that I would be teaching mathematics from now on, receiving half of Angel's pay, because she was being removed. I could have sworn I saw some of the kids fist-pumping.
Apparently, Angel was convinced I put the kids up to it, and said a few choice words about me, as well as some of the other faculty, one of whom happened to be the superintendent's niece.

My little shits really followed through for me. I couldn't have been prouder of them, but still a little guilty about Angel Not really).
EDIT: fixed a misspelled word, and tweaked the spacing to make it easier to read for those like me with bad eyesight. EDIT 2: tanks for the up votes! I never thought my first post would actually take off. Thank you for finding joy in my misery. Lol

I try to use tvtrops sometimes but every article is written like those except imagine each capitalized phrase is a blue hyperlink and you have to click every single one to figure out what an article is trying to describe

I recently got a friend drunk...he's a fairly prestigious anthropologist at a top-rated university. Not giving out his name for obvious reasons.
I asked him: "Really, do you think that women have been historically oppressed? That's the feminist claim"
He said "Utter horseshit. People in my field just have to shut our ears and try to block out this kind of poo poo. Women have had a sweet deal in every society ever studied in every era. Human men are programmed by nature to serve and protect women, and that's what they've always done. Just look at any society after a war...25% of the men killed...what would the women always do? They immediately run out and tried to find new men."
I said "yeah but women can sit there and list all the ways men have oppressed them"
He said "Yeah total bullshit. For every example of men mistreating women, I could list a hundred examples of men helping women, men protecting women. A lot of the so-called oppression of women was actually by their mothers, not men. For example foot binding and other scarification or mutilation rituals all originated with other women, not with men. The other favorite tactic by Feminist dogma is to take the harsh conditions of that time, and ascribe it all to men somehow. Like, there was a famine in the 1650 in England, people were starving to death all over, and women were oppressed because they had to get married to survive. Or they talk about how submissive Japanese women are---give me a break. Japanese women control all the money and the household with an iron fist. They work their men into the grave."
"In terms of historical accuracy, Feminism is about the same level as fanatic religious cults in the middle ages. Rich white chicks complaining about how they are oppressed. Utter crap, from top to bottom."
I said "Why don't you start a class and teach students this?" He got mad at that. "I'd lose my tenure and my income and half the friends I have. gently caress off with your suggestions"
So, we dropped the subject and drank beer. What else can ya do.
