Dear Aunt Art Agony,
The art professors in my town have romances with their students. Some of the professors formed a group, so they can see their young women students late at night. The women yell jokes about their bottoms. Sometimes the professors grab students from behind and say things.
The professors are rich. Some of them lend money to their students. Some of them give their students drugs. Some of them tell their students to get off boards of women's organisations. Some of them give their students one-way tickets to Europe.
My friend is an art student who is dating her professor. He assigns us nude self-portraits. Aunt Art Agony, I am nervous about having sex with my professors, but would I get better marks?

Gentle Reader,
Let us pretend we are on an African safari. Off in the distance we see a herd of giraffes. They are contentedly chewing the trees and enjoying being themselves. One of the younger ones breaks into a jolly little pas de deux with her mother. Just then, one of your safari mates smiles and whips out a rifle.
What indeed to do? Jump into the line of fire? Scream? Draft a letter of complaint? Run onto the veldt? Kick the man in his tender...psyche? Fortunately you have more time than our safari travellers.
In an ideal universe, your upcoming campaign began well before September. As it is, now you must gather all your courage and figure out a way to expose this professor. Like any hunter, the poor helpless man is trying to destroy another living creature to fulfill his own perverse pleasures.
Could you paint LOSER on his office door? I suggest some kind of malodorous oleaginous slurry. Should you get a group together to undertake an amusing little emancipatory postering campaign? His bosses might be very interested to know why this professor might give you all bad marks. They will not want STINKER painted on their office doors.
Prepare for war. Griselled old grampa gits do not like their fantasy authority dismantled. Because they are intellectually short-changed, they will have to lie to protect themselves. However, they are not prepared for the Goddess of Anarchy to arrive. And that is you, my dear.

Which gender gets tenure the earliest?
Are the standards the same for tenure?
Is the pay the same?
Is the responsibility the same?
What happens when women professors retire from a male-oriented organisation?
