3 year anniversary of when, at a campus show, Michael Kosta told a thinly veiled rape joke, mocked the Me Too movement by claiming he’s going to teach his daughter to profit off sexual harassment accusations, used pussy as an insult repeatedly, & told feminists to suck his dick…

I booed loudly at the last one out of pure exhaustion with his shitty set. He not only spoke back to me from the stage, but he also felt the need to air his hurt feelings to his followers. He said multiple times in his set that it’s a hard time to be a straight white man.

The show, I’ll note, was the evening after Kavanaugh had been appointed at the end of his hearings. I responded to the tweet & several folks publicly echoed their displeasure with the set as well. Later, 3 different students e-mailed thanking me, including a survivor.

I had never talked back to a performer before during a performance—stand up isn’t easy for sure—but it is my duty as a professor to speak up when harmful things are happening to students on my campus. No regrets. Fuck him.

Facebook memories really do make me remember things I would otherwise have forgotten lol
