a mad tea-party: The Professor and I

a mad tea-party

February 22, 2003

Dahlia Lithwick's column on professor-student dating is good, but this sentence is the best part:

All of this scholarly work proves that schools are making a bad situation worse with these ham-fisted efforts to regulate consensual sexual relationships -- particularly among the kinds of emotionally fragile, supremely bored, socially backward people who cluster around our law schools. (emphasis added)

Dahlia can be so insightful!

As for the whole sleeping-with-the-professor thing, well, where else will they find a good crop of child-brides? I know of one who got frustrated with the law students (divorced two of them), so he moved on to the undergraduate crowd for bride no. 3. Apparently, professors, that's where it's at!

Another gem from La Lithwick. Good to know she *understands* us all so well.
