Who the heck still uses “liberated women” rather just women? At 74, he probably imprinted on it as a smutty term when he was going through puberty.

Going though? Sounds like he never got fully out of it. Which is not an excuse, just sad.

Pretty much the only compensation University faculty are given is weird sadistic control over 20 year olds, and free travel. This power dynamic is unnecessary; most couldn’t complete the problem sets they assign anymore. The fact that it leads to this type of grossness should surprise no one, and should cross everyone minds before we prop-up this weird old-germanic university tradition.
Funding for students at university should lie entirely with the students. Faculty grants should be eliminated, and students should be allowed to work with whom they wish. Workers of the world unite

Just following the events, he got forced out of teaching for sexually harassing people, then found a new an novel way (Ha! Pun!) to sexually harass the same population by writing about them as wank material?

I believe he wrote the novel long ago but was only identified as the author after he was forced out of the university. The timeline was awkwardly written.

Ugh, so fucking gross. This disgusting and deliberate misunderstanding of women-as-full-human-beings-is like the flipside of conservative Christians somehow mangling the Shakira’s superbowl performance into a setback for women’s rights and fights against sexual exploitation of women. Being gross to, and/or controlling women has never been a part of liberation, you fucking leches.
Also, why publish though? Write it, wank to it (I guess, although…please don’t) but why publish??? Academic survival habit?

Apparently self-published. As you no doubt know, a very different beast from getting published by a reputable (or any) company.
Also, so gross and disgusting. What a foul, lecherous old man. Impotent too, I’m willing to bet.

His erotic book contained the phrase “Brazen Hussy”. I guess there must be porn for everybody, even the “old man yells at cloud” crowd.
Maybe a new genre? “You kids get off my lawn and into my bed!”

Whispering “suffragette” in his ear would probably kill him with a heart-attack. Win-win!

Academic published erotic fiction about own students
Every woman working in academia reading this headline is instantly thinking about their campus and picturing about three or four professors that they know.

I felt more like a cultural fit in hostels than grad school, and I think part of it is because the free travel was enough for me.

This guy reminds me of the character in Throw Momma from the Train who’s writing a “Coffee Table Book” of “100 women I’d like to fuck”.
ETA: It’s a funny bit, because he’s a pathetic creep who is used as a foil for Billy Crystal.
And that would improve the situation how?
