Why Can't I Rate a Professor as Sexist?

I understand the rule that's causing my ratings to keep getting flagged no matter how much I try to water it down. But I don't agree that simply trying to help students should go into the same category as defamation. Honestly, isn't it important to warn girls that they WILL FAIL and possibly be harassed if they take a class with this guy? Everyone in the department knows about him, but no one warns the students.
It's the same thing every semester. Girls enroll for the class, he screams at them for being there, makes terribly crude remarks, fails their assignments and tests immediately, they're gone by midterm. It's a waste. They could be enrolling in a class that they can actually use for credit. It's just stupid not to warn them.
Isn't that one of the main purposes behind this website? So that students can better avoid terrible teachers? The school isn't going to fire him; he's tenured. Why can't we put this site to some real use?

And to think this guy got a degree to be the best sexist he could be instead of being the best teacher he could be. Hmmm...maybe it just pays more.

Now wait a second.

How can you be sure that it's not just that incredibly stupid girls keep signing up for his class?

Don't assume that just because they are not that good-looking that they are intelligent as well. That is *quite* insulting to the attractive young women who are actually intelligent.

(In reply to muteki13) say description discreet. and you will not get flagged (hopefully) "he flirted with girls or something." Don't say he is a sexist. Do not slander. Desensitize your words a little and maybe the comments will stick..-Just an idea. Hope it helps.

Just use acceptable code-words, so that your description of his perverted activities will not raise flags. Also, familiarity with the code-words will help you make much better sense of the ratings you see on this site:

"Unfair Grader" = Makes you pay for the Hotel room
"Boring Lectures" = Demands Non-reciprocal Oral Sex
"Doesn't Show Up to Class On Time" = Premature Ejaculation
"Lots of reading" = Likes to watch you masturbate
"Very Hard Class" = Uses Viagra
"Confusing" = Cross-Dresser/Strap-on (varies by region)
"Really helpful if you ask questions" = Insists on positions you've never heard of
"Always going off on tangents" = Unable to maintain erection/lubricity
"This class was a total nightmare" = SM/BD
"Took a boring subject and made it interesting" = Bestiality
"Brings Donuts to Class!" = well, that one is pretty self evident

Until I learned this code to the ratings, I really didn't understand what most of the students were saying about their professors!

I agree censoring sucks. Sorry this did not help. It seemed like it pissed you off. I had a teacher like that and the outcome was not good for me either, but you gotta be sly or get flagged. Should Mary be legal? Heck yea. hehe. You will learn these things as you mature.

And, I wouldn't want anyone to catch on that His stuff is the good stuff cause then there would be a limited supply to what I like (the good stuff). He doesn't inhale because he doesn't have to. He likes "special" brownies. hahahaha
