Roseanne-type women make my life a living hell: Is it just me, or are fat, ugly women the most difficult people in the world? Almost without exception, the students who harass me about how I grade them (as well as other class-related issues) are either females who look like Jabba the Hutt, or vocal black students. All the white guys and attractive girls never utter a peep. What is going on?

    Love you blog, but aren't you concerned that these posts will be seen by your students?

    Seem like someone could make a big deal out of this stuff.

    The hormones of the obese are out of whack - might that account for the whining/complaining?

    The thing I've noticed about obese women is how they tend to take more sick days than any of my other employees. I think this has something to do with the increased amount of health problems they have, but of course something like 3/4s of sick days are taken by people who aren't sick. I wonder again if there's something psychological going on.

    Thanks guys for reminding me about maintaining anonymity. In my job, especially, I could get in big trouble with the comments I have made(and will make). On the other hand, personal experiences are illuminating.

    I actually noticed the exact opposite in my classes. The students that are more attractive are more stuck up, snotty and disrespectful than my overweight or "not so attractive" students. They also perform better in class than attractive people, or men in general. Maybe you just think that they give you more of a hard time because you just generally hate fat people. That makes more sense.

    Perhaps, you show favoritism to White males and attractive females.

    If you are sitting there judging your students superficially on their looks, I'm sure some of that is transferred to your grading method.

    You probably ward the White males with our homosexual Uncle Tom need to please.

    Additionally, you are nicer to what you deem attractive, because you long to play dress up the girls, and do their hair.
