Dear Professor of Classical Modes of Literature:
I would humbly appreciate it if you would refrain from making rape jokes in our 10am class. As you well know, that is quite early in the morning for a lecture, and I am not at my best; it is inconsiderate to be The Patriarchy at such an early hour in a university setting. It is also against university policy. Further, I have two more classes this afternoon, and need to give them my full attention as a student rather than stewing about how uncomfortable this has made my learning environment and whether I want to bring it up now with you, or with the ombudsman, and how I might bring it up, and how that might impact my grading, and whether I'll be angry at myself if I let it lie even though god, I do not want to have this fight.
Thanks so very much for the position I am now in.
Leah,
Who is not going to drop your class on this, her lunch hour, because that would definitely be letting the bad guys win. And who is going to make her salad now.
