I feel so pathetic just sitting there and taking it when he says stuff like that. I get so riled up inside though I feel that if I stand up and say something I'll just cry, and that's what he wants. He wants it to piss us off. We're a minority to begin with... 3 girls out of 20. He just thinks he can say what he wants and break us, especially me, down. It's so obvious that everything he says is directed at me, because he's so mad that I turned him down last year. He talked sh*t about me for 6 months straight. He's 26 years old and acting like he's 12.
There's 6 more weeks of school left. Is it worth doing something about?

The school things he's saying about women should get him to trouble with the school, so I wouldn't worry about that. There are a lot of jerks in the world, you will deal with sexist pigs your whole life, trust me, you have to let it roll off your back. You are right if you get emotional he will win. Just be beat them in the industry, work harder, work better. From what you said, the only thing he's done to you personally is the rumors. I know they hurt, trust me I know, but there is really nothing you can do because it's his word against yours. Just make sure that the people that matter to you know the truth & forget about everyone else. You can get through this, only a few more weeks.

I think I will just let it go. He makes me feel like dirt every day, but anyone like that just hates theirself I think. The school should be doing more about it though. He has threatened to beat up instructors, and draws little cartoon pictures of himself killing classmates, and posts them on the walls. He got talked to just a couple weeks ago because he was standing outside one instructor's office talking about how he's going to set the whole building on fire after he graduates. He just says "oh I was just joking!" and gets away with anything.
A couple weeks ago he was complaining about the course and instructors, saying how our ONE female instructor should be fired because she can't keep the class under control. He was like "we don't try to be rowdy, but when someone can't control us it just happens!" My mouth dropped open and my friend Tammy yelled at him "You're a f*cking adult, you shouldn't have to be controlled!!!" She got a dirty look but he shut up. Now he just calls her fat behind her back (she's pregnant).

I would watch out for yourself if I were you, so of the things he's doing are more then just boys being boys kind of behavior. The things he is saying in "jest" are things of a very serious nature & should be taken seriously. I would begin filing a complaint with the dean any time you witness him behaving in these types of way, that way their is some tracing of these occurances, it may not do any good, but what could it hurt. Also have other people do the same.

There have been many complaints about him already. Nobody takes it seriously because I guess nobody wants to deal with it. And I think everyone's a little scared of him. Last semester he was so upset that he didn't understand an assignment he turned around and punched a hole right through the wall! Then stomped out of class like a kid. Nobody knows how to deal with him, so he gets away with everything.
Well, I'm gone for the weekend now. Hopefully a weekend with my boyfriend will calm me down enough to get through another week of being less than a person.

Maybe people should start filing complaints with the police then. To be charged with assault a person doesn't actually have to touch you, if you feel threatened you can charge them with assault.
